I blame Kellogg
We’ve been trying to revamp our breakfast habits lately — since I’m taking meds that shouldn’t be ingested on an empty stomach, I’m having food shortly after I get up. This is unusual for me, since I used to wait until mid-morning (after 10) to have my first meal. (When I eat at 7:30 or whenever, I’m hungry again at 10 anyway, so I may as well wait until 10.)
It turns out that this is probably caused by what I eat for breakfast. I’m big on the cinnamon toast, or toaster waffles, or cereal, or something like that. Grain with sugar, basically. But it makes me sleepy, and then I get really hungry like I’m going to faint unless I get something to eat Right NOW! Plagioclase has a similar response, with the added bonus of sour stomach.
So we’ve started a little experiment, based on some experiences we had in Germany — eat a little meat and cheese on bread for breakfast. Of course, you know us, it’s not packaged bologna and American slices. At least not for the first round. We’ll see how it goes. If it seems to work, we might expand our repertoire to boiled eggs. I always liked those cute hen cozies on the breakfast tables in German hotels.
