Cereal Killers/importance of breakfast

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Cereal Killers/importance of breakfast

Post by saysadie » Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:01 pm

Alright, what's your favourite cereal/breakfast food?

I've recently started eating at breakfast. A proper, sit-down breakfast. For the past couple of years breakfast has been coffee, for the most part... an apple, or a banana, some toast or occasional cig depending on if I was smoking at the time. Once in awhile I'd eat proper but it would lapse back into the usual coffee, cig, apple or banana or toast routine... cereal I'd eat as a snack thing. Or at lunch. 0_o :p

Cereal makes a world of difference, it really does. :up: I'm less crabby in the morn, for one thing. My internal clock doesn't do mornings well (does anybodys?). :p

Currently I like the "Triple Berry" Cheerios. Dehydrated blooberries, strawberries and raspberries... are, erm, interesting. And I really like hot cereal, like oatmeal, Cream of Wheat or Red River cereal.

Eat those Wheaties, people!

Breakfast is annoying. That early in the morning nothing tastes good.

A cup of Orange Juice/Milk and a bagel will suffice till Lunch.

So to answer your question, I choose Orange Juice

<SPEEDing|VoNK> you cant use knoppix as a server can you?
<bob> why not? people use windows as one.

I always have breakfast. It's good and helps me wake up. If I don't have it, I feel faint and get really moody. And can't work.

Usually two slices of bread, cup of tea, glass of water, and a vitamine-pill in wintertime.

This morning I made a cottage-cheese and cucumber sandwich (with lots of salt and pepper to make it tasty), a especially-for-the-morning-herbal tea and the water + pills.

But I have to eat something before lunch or I'll faint!
Luckily we have free fruit at the office :)

The problem is finding something that won't feel like lead in the stomach mostly.

Yeah, I usually get that way too I find. I'm running around near-constantly from 8 am, I need proper fuel!

Iron for me... I tend toward anemia from lack of it, which sucks.

Before lunch? If I take my morning break (usually don't) I grab a coffee. We have a coffee machine in the break room... have to pay for it though. And the coffee sucks but it holds me til lunch...

When I can head out and get much, much better coffee at Tim Horton's. :o

I like Tim Horton's. They make a veggie sandwich, too... but it's extremely expensive. Costs 5.50ish canadian and consists of a wholewheat bun, lettuce, cream cheese and tomato...

But when I'm hungry I buy it anyway. :o

There's also a little coffee shop I found near where I work that sells... chocolate covered coffee beans! Whoohoo! Major pick-me-up for an aft of working. I was buzzing all over the place on Sunday afternoon.

Am I evil for finding that ******* hilarious? I feel like it... ye gads.

What? Oh, breakfast. Usually a quick glass of fruit juice and some sort of brunch-bar type thing... kinda like cardboard with raisins in it, half covered in chocolate.

Today, ham sandwich! Although that was only because I was up early, having been still buzzing from last night. Knows it.
Grrr. Argh.

Couple of mince pies. Cup of tea. Or four slices of toast with some kind of jam. It's not that I don't like cereal, but I rarely feel like a bowl of milk and a pint mug of tea.

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

I have a wank around breakfast time if I've got the time.

If I've got more time, then I have some breakfast, either cereal, toast, coffee, whatever.

Then I have another wank.

If I dont have time, I have a wank then say sorry to the boss for turning up late.

Makes sense innit.

I notice there's no mention of wanking at work...

...

Who are you and what have you done with Snarlos?!?

Speaking of Bash.Org and knocking this entirely off-topic, this is still one of my favourite quotes:

<JonJonB> Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book
<JonJonB> Let's see the results...

<JonJonB> "Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
<JonJonB> "Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything

<JonJonB> A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.

<JonJonB> "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
<JonJonB> "Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "

<JonJonB> Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls

<JonJonB> "Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"

<JonJonB> The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils.

<JonJonB> He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.

<JonJonB> He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.

<JonJonB> Ok
<JonJonB> I have found, definitive proof
<JonJonB> that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all
<JonJonB> "Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he?
<melusine > O_______O
<JonJonB> Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang

<JonJonJonB> Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.

<JonJonJonB> 'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.


I honestly don't know if I'll be able to read a HP book with a straight face after seeing that...

Breakfast is usually a cup of tea, some fruit and a chocolate bar...and a wank if I've got time *nods to Snarlos* depends though, sometimes I like a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes too :)

During weekdays I usually have a glas of chocolate milk, and at least three sandwiches with lots of ****.
I love eating breakfast!

On saturdays and sundays I usually go to my local store and buy new baked bread, juice, eggs and ****.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!

No cereal though. Cereal is crap. It's like eating a damp towel or something.

I like cereal, but not with milk.

I hate milk. Plus it makes your crunchy cereal not crunchy! Then why eat cereal at all? :(

Sometimes I just have a cup of dry cereal as a snack.

I love milk! I drink at least two liters milk a day.

I hate going to other countries. Their milk always suck :(

I live for my cereal. And my milk. Gotta get calcium, yanno, osteoporosis (or however you spell it) runs in my family. I love multi-grain cereals, but every now and then I'll splurge for the more sugary stuff.

No raisin bran though. Ick.

My breakfast usually consists of about four cups of cofee and about ten cigarettes. If there's time and my stomach isn't too buggered from the night before I might entertain the possibility of a fry-up, or at least a bacon and fried egg sandwich.

I only tend to eat cereal when really stoned, since the milk eliminates dry mouth and the sugar gives me a some pep. In which case, Golden Grahams or the cinnamon variety is the only way to go...

Damn straight - sometimes I think they taste better that way...

Other cereals worth mentioning: Raisin Wheats (nee Raisin Splitz) and Frosted Wheats (nee Toppas), and Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. And maybe Coco Pops, although I go through phases with them...

I went through an ill-advised phase where I would have cereals with alcohol. I remember that Coco Pops and cider was a particular favourite at the time :)
