Taa daa!

*takes a bow*  Yes, I'm all growed up.  I finally have a paid account.  Do you like it?  Is it shiny?  does it float your collective boats?

I'm going to be farting around in here, figuring out how to set things up, post pictures, etc...  I chose the "moron" setting, as far as customizing goes.  I assume I can always go back and change it, if I'm feeling more confident some time in the distant future.  For now, I'm wanting to find a way to customize the link for "comments down there... *points down there*.  I'm thinking something fun, like "all skate!"  or "put on your boogie shoes!" or just plain "get funky".  

These are the ponderables I'm pondering today.

And hey, as long as I'm in a good mood,  I think I'll share some of my hard-earned wisdom.  

This is my system for eating Bite Size Frosted Mini-Wheat cereal;  first, Do No Harm.   Milk is an integral part of the equation, and yet milk is detrimental to the integrity of the cereal.  Soggy Mini Wheats are not only mushy and gross, they also lose their frosted-ness!  You might as well eat a bowl full of milky wheat mush with sugar dissolved in it...yuk!    A connundrum!  I've ascertained that the only viable method which preserves the inherent crunchiness of  Bite Size Frosted Mini-Wheats is to delay the introduction of the milk for as long as possible.  This is impossible, due to the fact that once milk is poured into a bowl full of dry Mini-Wheats, breakdown ensues almost immediately.  The answer?  Pour a bowl of milk first.  Keep the entire box of cereal on hand.  Much experimentation is neccessary, to arrive at the correct portioning level of milk.  Once that is achieved, cereal portioning occurs as a natural event (when you're out of milk, stop eating).  Introduce small amounts of the cereal into the bowl of cold milk.  Eat immediately, but at a normal pace, so as to enjoy optimal crunchiness in an unhurried fashion.  I find, for myself, that about four or five Bite Size Mini Wheats at a time is the optimal amount, and can be eaten in a leisurely fashion without becoming soggy.  As the level of milk decreases, you might want to be more conservative with your cereal introduction as milk remains the integral factor and without it you're only eating dry cereal with a spoon (and that would be weird!). 

You can all thank me later.
