Maybe I don't miss it the most, but there is defiantly a void in my life without it. Cold cereal. I am not opposed to a hot breakfast; in fact I think it is better. But I like to have the option. If time is short or I just don't feel like cooking or better yet, I want to sleep ten more minutes; cold cereal is a great stall tactic. I just can't seem to go back to sleep after telling Matt to light the fire and cook some eggs. Especially when there is no guarantee our gas stove will light. Once it is lit, there is no low or even medium only full throttle, hair scorching high. In fact my forearms are hair free and silky smooth, nice!
It is not that I can't buy cereal. It is that I can't bring myself to spend $10 for a box of imported cereal that is so small I would have to ration the portions. Even then, I'm still not sure everyone would get a bowl.
Lily is our cold cereal junky. She came in my room yesterday and said the only thing she wanted to eat was Cheerios. She is past longing for Trix or Lucky Charms she just wants bare bones Cheerios. Sorry girl, how about some eggs?
Here is a box of Frosted Flakes I can buy at the grocery store for a mere $9.00. Not likely.

I wonder how much shipping is to China for cereal? I will check and if it's reasonable (so that the price per box isn't $10) I'll send you some plain Cheerios. Hey, they have Chocolate and Banana Cheerios now too. We got a sample with our newspaper.

Above is the US Post Office page for rates for mailing to China. 1 pound is $26.95. Crazy. They have a small flat-rate box for $13. I'll see how many cheerios I can fit into one of those.
