Hello all,
So, I am sitting here writing this as I am eating a strange, University-budget breakfast of Oatmeal with egg. Yes, the egg is In the oatmeal. I figure, you can put an egg in soup, rice... Why not oatmeal??? It isnt so bad to taste, although I wasnt sure if I should salt it lke an egg or sweeten it like oatmeal. (I opted for a little honey and it serves just fine) It has successfully done its job to be digested and leave me with somewhat of a sence of "fullness" or "satisfaction". Thanks otameal.
But, a word about this oatmeal...
Last week, I was tired after school and realized that I basically had No food at my house. So, I decided to skip over (Note:I didn´t really skip) to the open market that is near my school, and buy some food-including oatmeal. Now, it was after about 5 or so, and most of the food stands were closing or already gone, including the lady I Usually buy oatmeal from. So, I asked around and was pointed to a shop around the corner that sells wholesale oats, grains, and pet food. Not the Nicest place, certianly not Safeway, but it would do... So, I went in and did a little price shopping and found some oats for about $1 per Kilo as opposed to the others for about $2 per kilo. I didn´t have much cash on me, and being a bit frugal anyways, I opted for the cheaper one. The lady working there was saying things to me that I couldn´t even understand (think of how you speak in your socio-economic class, lower that class about 5 times, then put it in a different language), but I somehow convinced her that, yes, I wanted one kilo of that, please. She was acting strange for some reason, but after paying (well, after getting my Ticket from her, turning around and paying the ticket to the cashier, and then turning Back around and giving her the reciept...?) I was on my way. Finally.
Next day, I wake up and prepair to eat my oats. I have some nuts and honey and dried fruit and am convinced it will be a great breakfast, as usual. One thing- The oatmeal was Horrible! just, awful. And, Im not sure I can convince you, reading this, that oatmeal could be so disgusting, but, trust me, it was. It like... wasn´t quite seperated from the grain or something, so I kept getting all of these shells in my teeth (think of popcorn kernels-only at breakfast...) and the taste was something I literally had to guilt myself into forcing into my mouth (I am fortunate enough to even get breakfast this morning.).
So, here I am, giving it a 4th go and trying to at least make some use of this tragedy. I did buy it, after all. And I am eating it now, with the egg and honey (wow, Im weird...) and I feel a few crunches as I am biting. hm, crunchy oatmeal, eh?? After some investigating into the rest of the bowl, I found the culprit- a small, dark... Is it a grain? wait, are those little legs?? no way, are they really? Am I sure thats just not grain fibers or something?? fuck. omygod. ew. That actually IS a little bug, dead in my oatmeal. fuck, fuck, fuck. bleh.
Knowing his little friends are buried in my stomach, and making their way to my large intestine offers no more consolidation. Not only have I been eating terrible, shitty oatmeal, but I have also been unknowingly eating a little extra protien from the Animal Kingdom, as well. Guess I don´t need the egg anymore...
Next time, I may opt for the upgrade.
Happy eating!
Chau chau!
