It took me nearly 20 minutes to navigate through the cereal aisle, wtf. With the except of that month or so, sometime in the 90s, when I lived on Frosted Lucky Charms and Coffee cause I was a dumbass clubkid, sweet cereal, SUCKS.

Sweet practically anything in the morning, or when first waking is one of the grossest things in the world to me. Pancakes or waffles are a dinner or drunk meal. Frosted mini-wheats are cookies, they are to be eaten one at a time, dunked in milk. NOTFORBREAKFAST.

I felt like the church lady stuck in the middle of a gay orgy, trying to navigate all the disgustingly sweet cereal. Did you know that there is now ADULT cereal with fucking CHOCOLATE in? If anyone still wonders why this is a country of diabetics, look at what's considered acceptable breakfast food.

Enough soapbox highhorsing.

I finally found some Kroger brand, plain, shredded wheat. The entire contents of the ingredients is: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT. And under it WARNING: Contains Wheat. Ya think? Also they didn't have the 9th kingdom or 7th heaven or whateverthefuck brand of soy milk I've gotten before (I prefer trader joe's organic unsweetened, but it's a difficult store to get to), so I tried that Silk brand. Accidentally did not get the unsweetened, but fortunately also did not get the vanilla. Vanilla soy = *gag*.

I just had a bowl, as you can see, and it was exactly right. THAT's what cereal is to me, that's the TASTE SENSATION I grew up with.

Also, Applebees nearly killed me. I don't know what it was, pretty sure it wasn't the tiny desert. But the 15 or so minutes after we left were hell, I was sure I was going to vomit all over the bus stop. I've thrown up in public exactly twice in my life, happily it is still only twice. J got me a bottle of water, I sat on the ground, and it passed. I have no idea. It was horrible, there were hot and cold flashes and tunnel vision. Maybe I had the shortest food poisoning ever. It is a mystery.

Applebees: too much sodium?

Who knows, I do recall liking their food but always feeling a tiny bit off after. Maybe since it's been so long that I just reacted more to whatever it is.

Tiny mices at Applebee's?! Sign me up! Also, unsweetened soy mixed with eggs and some water make a tasty scramble. I think I figured out not to go more than a 1/4 cup of soy, but I never measure, so keep it small. Like mices!

Soy in eggs actually sound good, however, I pretty much only use that eggwhitesinacarton stuff for eggs anymore, they don't make as solid a scramble as whole eggs so adding anything more liquidy would probably make them even more unwieldy, and they stick to my stupid old pan.
