No. 14 - Cereal
Basically, I don't trust breakfast cereal that floats. After
some discussion as to what might be a good breakfast substitute
to cold fish and potatoes for those not so inclined, Alafina
bought a variety of Chilean and Argentine cereals before we
sailed. But they're all sugar coated with packaging aimed at the
pre-school market; there are several chocolate-flavored types;
they come in a variety of day-glow colors; and they all float.
It's the cumulative affect of small irritations that can drive
one to do irrational things. A colleague generously put out his
stash of Wheat Chex a few days ago and like a deranged psychopath
I ate half of them.
