Oatmeal. It's what's for breakfast.

I ran out of bananas, and if you read the post before, you know I am trying to use stuff up, but I don’t really have any fruit in the house! I saw the roomie’s strawberries and they are on their way out so I decided to help her by taking 4 of them for my breakfast today. I eat breakfast in my office every day because it is more enjoyable to me than rushing around in the morning, and if I eat it too early I am simply too hungry the rest of the day!

Today’s breakfast was 1/2 serving cooked steel cut oats (with cinny, in water), 1 heaping tbs pb, and 4 cut up strawberries (100 g). Also had my daily travel mug of tea. I picked plain old Lipton today.

Re: Tea with no additions

I know I have commented about this on a bunch of your blogs before, but I feel compelled to share here.

A few years ago I drank my tea with milk + two sugars. That was in 2001 I think. Over the years I morphed from that to plain tea, steeped for 1 minute max, with no additions. Sometimes in the winter I even drink plain hot water. I don’t want to stain my teeth just because I want a warm drink! I brought myself to this point by making small changes, and I haven’t sweetened my tea in about 2 years now I would say. I really enjoy it most plain now. Here was my approximate progress:

milk and 2 sugars -> skim milk and 1.5 sugars -> skim milk and 2 equal -> skim milk and 1 splenda (this was more because splenda was the newest thing) -> skim milk only -> splash of skim -> NOTHING!

If I, the queen of English tea, could do it, then you can too! (or should that be than? I can never get those right, because than is used in a quantitative way right? or is it then? ahhh!)

Now onto iced coffee… I enjoyed one this morning with a splash of milk and sugar free hazelnut syrup. I know that sf anything is poison, but I am weaning myself slowly with the iced coffee..

P.S.ers… just found out my cousin is 11 weeks pregnant! yayyyy! congrats H + K!
