Cream of wheat was second to oatmeal porridge, for those breakfast foods.
I've never made it myself, and all I can remember is mom had a box for cream of wheat.
It's almost white, and when it sits it starts to get hard on top.
It's grainy, but it's more like a pudding than porridge.
Mom would put banana slices, raisins, pieces of canned fruit, whatever was handy.
Now, I can see adding some dried, sweetened cranberries.
Waking up hungry is a far different thing than waking up and starting off your day in a civilized way.
One of my lines when I was on the road was saying I don't want to be domesticated.
That still works.
I think it's Sheriff or Jello that made the pistachio pudding.
Talking about food, a lot of people are saying food prices went up a dollar.
Cans of salmon did.
Right now, I'm frying up four chicken strips on a big frying pan,
so I can add three eggs, cutting the butt end of this bread to make toast,
and dip some in the yolks, with lemonade pop.
That's on the hotplate in front of the TV, watching "The Assassins' Hitman",
so far, a really really good movie that has many unexpected moments.
Starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, and this is my favorite Samuel L. Jackson.
Amazing flash violence and special effects with lots of stars, but no blood or nudity.
Breakfast and a movie, an accomadation you might seek on your next Niagara Falls visit.
