Cuckoo for Coco Puffs

I know it has been awhile since my last post. I apologize to my regular readers. I haven't been feeling particularly inspired to write.

This morning I was watching the Food Network with our youngest daughter and then it struck me...I have been missing out on the latest trend in creative presentation. So beginning now, I am adding a new feature to my blog...Not to be outdone by Rachel Ray and the rest, I will be from time to time posting my culinary tips...

Today the topic is cereal;

I like to begin by selecting a bowl. I recommend a bowl that is not too big and not too small. You want to be able to put enough cereal in the bowl to provide a satisfying meal, but not so much that by the time you get to the last spoonfull it has all gone soggy.

Next is the spoon selection. I find that a standard spoon is just too small. I like to use a soup spoon. Generally, it will help prevent spillage while providing the maximum amount of cereal to appropriately fill your mouth.

Cereal selection is important but is so personal that I will not even try to address it here.

I have found that placing the cereal into the bowl is the most effective way to prepare the cereal. Then depending on whether or not it is pre-sweetened, you may or may not want to add some sugar.

My daughter likes to use skim milk. I don't even like the sound of it. It just looks like somebody washed out the milk bottle and poured the rinse into her bowl.

I suggest instead a mix of 1 part half & half cream and 2 parts 2%. The 2% milk is lowfat and satisfies my wife that I am trying to cut down on my fat intake, while the half & half makes the whole presentation palatable.

So, there it is... sit down and enjoy...cereal in 1 minute.

That's it for today... next time I will discuss Toast...White or Otherwise

Bon Apetite ( did I spell that right?)
