What's for breakfast?

[Dinner]

Today was a fruit smoothy. Ice, grapes, an orange, half a lemon, spinach, an avocado, parsley, a clove of garlic, and some wheat grass. A bit of water to make it smoother then blend it on high until frothy.

Hopefully no one makes a frothy Santorum joke.

[The Mad Monk]

Frosted mini-wheats with whole milk.

'Cuz whole milk was cheapest this time around.

[Dinner]

It actually makes sense that whole milk is cheaper since it requires less processing. Usually though the milk companies try to pull a fast one on us. Think about it, nonfat milk had all the fat removed to make butter & cheese (which is worth more than milk) yet they usually try to get us to pay more for nonfat then for whole milk. That means they're making money on the cheese & butter yet are still charging more for nonfat. That's just wrong.

[KrazyHorse]

No, it's not wrong. Who are you, ****ing Aquinas?

[Dinner]

It's not wrong economically but if you're making twice the money (because you get twice the product from the same raw material) then it seems slightly unfair. Sure, charge what the market will bare but stop whining when people point out the hypocrisy of it from a factual point of view.

Today's repast was Turkish sour cherry jam on wholemeal bread and peach and apricot yoghurt to follow, with a big cup of Kenya Peaberry coffee.

it's hypocritical to charge less for whole milk even though the demand for nonfat milk is apparently much greater?

[The Mad Monk]

In my experience, skim and whole milk are usually both more expensive than 1% and 2%; 2% tends to be lowest. That's what made it noteworthy to me.

I think it's all demand driven, and there's nothing wrong with that. They do use the cream for other products, but there is also a cost to extracting it and storing it separately.

[Dinner]

Corn flakes, nonfat milk, slices of strawberries.

[The Mad Monk]

Brown bread and beans.

[Jon Miller]

a bit of chocolate
a bit later coffee with creme and sugar

[Dinner]

I'm not sure what to have today. I'll have to check what's in the fridge.

[Dinner]

I ended up settling for diced onion and potatoes fried in a pan, two eggs (sunny side up), and two pancakes. Washed it down with OJ and coffee (freshly ground and made using my French press).

[PLATO]

Coffee. Put water and coffee in the propper parts of the coffeemaker. Switch it on. Wait until the coffee is done. Voila!

Ditto...breakfast of champions!
