Groceries

Cereal is delicious. I’ve been buying this organic faux Chex cereal from the Hippies (Wheatsville) since just pre-quarantine. I hadn’t bought a box of cereal in at least 10 years. Possibly more. I can’t get over how good it is.

I used to love cereal when I was a kid when mostly sugar cereals like Cap N Crunch and Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops dominated. You would get up all by yourself, get a bowl of cereal, lay belly down, bowl in front of you to watch Saturday morning cartoons.

I’m sure I stopped eating cereal, even the ‘serious’ cereals like multi-grain Chex and Cheerios because of carbs. I got two new boxes. But I won’t eat them until the Covid cooties die from the boxes. I won’t open them for at least 48 hours, even though a rash of stories on the CDC’s report that claims Covid “does not spread easily” on surfaces or objects.

Easily. This article is not reassuring.
