Some yoghurt and a can of cream of vegetable soup. What’s neat is that the convenience store next to my office sells the soup in hot cans that you drink just like a soda. They even taste good.

I had cold cereal with skim milk. I tend to have 1-3 year flings with different cereals, all of which have flakes and bits of fruit in them; right now, it’s Kellogg’s Raisin Bran. (Not Post. Or Total. **Kellogg’s**.) This is because Peach Fruit and Fibre (recently renamed Fruit and Bran, which somehow sounds even more like something someone in a nursing home would eat than the old name did), my favorite cereal of all time, hasn’t been available in the New York metropolitan area for over a decade. I’ve bought it in Florida. I’ve bought it in Maine. But not in New York/New Jersey.

The cereal’s important to me. I do not speak before I’ve had my cereal, and resent it beyond all reason if someone has the gall to talk to me. If there’s no milk in the morning, I’ll sulk like a two-year-old as I go out to the supermarket to buy more. I skip breakfast twice a year, on Yom Kippur and the other big fast day, the ninth of Av. (On the four little fast days, which are dawn to nightfall, I wake up before dawn, eat breakfast, then go back to sleep; I’m much less cranky in the morning that way.)

Usually I don’t each much, since I’m the type with permament morning sickness. Fun.

But today, I had a small bit of brownie (about 1.5" on a side), and a mug of hot tea (Green, orange spice, with a bit of sugar). Unfortunately, I should have saved the brownie. ☹ (See first sentance for why.)

Chilled beer-steamed shrimp and a buttered dill roll. I decided against a slice of lime-curd-topped cheesecake, and will have that for dinner instead.

Valentine’s Day leftovers are the best.

(Naturally I had coffee with this. What sort of barbarian do you think I am?)

Coffee, black, and a chocolate donut. Just finished lunch too - a bag of Sun Chips - Harvest Cheddar - a half bottle of water, and a bag of M&M’s. The cafeteria sucks today - I ate out of the vending machine.

I had 12 oz of V-8 blended with romaine lettuce and one carrot. I do this because I don’t like green leafy veggies except in a salad with tons of ranch dressing and I have to get my veggies every day. For some reason, I love this drink. I don’t really “blend” it, it’s more finely chopped so it doens’t turn the color of poop. It’s esp good with two whole wheat toasts eaten at the same time. No toasts this morning though.

Two huge cups of Starbucks Breakfast Blend coffee with Splenda and non-dairy creamer and four Russell Stover Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cups. Yummy!
