since when did we as consumers become so stupid? - Page 6 - BBV4Life -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'm tempted to respond with a dictionary link to "sarcasm" but I'm about to start a session and I could imagine you'd reply with something that would lead me to canceling my session and going on an all out dictionary-link posting war.

Cereal is pretty much garbage, but I thought I was at least eating a healthier one when I ate Raisin Bran. Plus I love it. Then I read that it has more sugar than any other cereal tested in this huge cereal round-up. Er ... d'oh!

They're good if you like the taste of snot. They go surprisingly well with fish.

But a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese is one of my favorites. Or those cinnamon crunch bagels from Panera, which I swear have heroin in them, they are so addictive.

Poppyseed or pumpernickel IMO.

Toast is essentially a blank canvas for all kinds of exciting toppings so you might as well experiment.

Bread has a high glycemic load and jelly just makes it worse. Might as well eat a candy bar.

I agree with bg1. As a coffee-addict, every time I crave coffee I always drive home, make myself some coffee, dump it in a travel mug and go back to doing what I was doing before.

I don't mind the 2h~ it might take me to get there and back, I save $1.93 that way if I made coffee at home instead of getting that Venti at Starbucks.

Listen to bg1.. he can bench a lot and beats 100nl

In comparison, foods such as cereal, bagels, are granola bars are much much faster and safer.

Toast comes out, and where does the bread go anyway? Weird.

I always just thought parfait = layers, but not lasagne, etc. (mmmmm)
Never even thought to look it up really.

Myself, I really enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice, but I usually reserve that for the weekends. Normally I will drink coffee or green tea, depending on how early it is.

I always make a pot of hot tea. Usually it's gunpowder green, but sometimes jasmine, oolong, or whatever else. We get bulk loose leaf tea and use a gold permanent strainer/cup with regular tap water boiled on the stove top. We have a well so I suppose it's not "regular" tap water, woteva.

Speaking of toast,

We gave up on the toaster for time reasons and now just throw a half dozen slices of bread in the oven on the top rack set to broil. After a couple of minutes flip them. ez game. Sometimes the flip/remove job gets forgotten lol so we get more bread. Always whole grain.

Cold pizza + coke is the best breakfast in the world.

This is my breakfast every morning. I know its unhealthy but I'm lazy and got for it anyways. Coffee is the best in the area and 2 donuts gets me by to almost dinner time. Sometimes I throw in a breakfast sandwich also.
