I’m really, really trying to eat better. Less meat and bread, more fruits and veggies. I’ve always eaten breakfast, just not the healthiest kind and so (for the hundredth time) I am attempting to eat oatmeal in the morning.
This time I bought a hazelnut blend, added some water, cooked it in the microwave for a minute and a half and then added chopped almonds. First, I don’t like cereal. Second, I don’t like mushy food. Third, oatmeal has absolutely no color. Day one went pretty well, but by the second day I couldn’t even gag half of it down. Why does it have to taste like paper towels?
I thought about using my uneaten oatmeal to spackle some nail holes but it was too lumpy so I dumped it in the trash. The dog watched the whole thing and even he wasn’t interested. Another food fail but we happened to have some tasty oatmeal cookies, and wasn’t that a stroke of luck to get my daily dose of a filling breakfast after all?
