Flax and Soup: I love to eat things in bowls. The day started with the usual cereal. In the journals I keep, I note that there are a lot of meals that I eat over and over again.

Later for lunch I eat soup. I make soup a lot. Especially in the winter. It is the kind
of meal that can be a two or three meals rather than just one. This sketch was crab soup on this day. Later, my husband Mike got me my favorite muffin from Amy's Bread: hazelnut cherry almond. Later, we met friends at a Japanese noodle place: Me Kui Te. I get the
Canton ramen. So good with sake, shumai, and beer.

Fiestaware does little to spice up my lackluster cereal

Fiesta- This drawing depicts my cereal bowl. For breakfast, I
often eat the same thing every morning. It is rather boring. Cereal,
banana, and sometimes fresh berries or dried cranberries. The cereal is currently flax cereal. With winter coming, the cereal will change to oatmeal.

I am against instant oatmeal! I prefer to cook whole
grain oats. The banana is added midway into the cooking pot so that the banana cooks into the oatmeal. Cereal: it needs to sit a few
minutes and absorb the milk. I use almond milk.
