This morning I made some 5 Grain Cereal. It contains Oats, Rye, Triticale, Barley and Golden Flax. I bought a container of it to bring to work so I could make a nice hot breakfast for myself when I get in. With 5g of fiber, 0 Sodium, 0 Cholesterol, 6g of protein and 454mg of Omega 3 a serving I figure I would be starting the day right. And I am at least starting it eating right. The first time I made this it blew up in the microwave. The second time I tried a few things differently and it didn’t explode much. Today I boiled the water in the microwave first. Then stirred in the cereal, then it was still watery so I put it back in for 30 seconds at a time. Each time I would take it out and stir it again. This stuff must retain a ton of heat because my spoon ended up melted in the position above.
It would be pretty hard to eat a year’s worth of free Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream with a spoon like that. So, I figure I had better get a better spoon because I stand a good chance of winning this Ice Cream give away from Elizabeth at Table for Five. But that is not all I could win, the best thing to top your ice cream with and I mean top, not just the sprinkles, hot fudge and nuts but what is the most fun to put on ice cream? That would be Reddi-wip® Real Whipped Cream. I mean, who hasn’t eaten that stuff directly from the nozzle of the can?
I really hate to tell anyone else about this contest because I would love all that ice cream for myself but here is the deal with the contest.

The 5 Grain Cereal may be a good thing for the morning but I’d really like to use a new spoon with something like a pint of New York Super Fudge Chunk® Ice Cream.

Yeah, you just made me change my title. Thanks Courtney, very good geeky/movie reference. Very cool.
LOL! It’s the first thing I thought of when I saw that spoon…

I am surprised that I didn’t, a friend of mine says that line all the time when I ask him to get me a spoon from the caf.
If you win the giveaway, it will be because you were chosen at random and not because you wrote this totally awesome post about it, although I sure wish I could just name you the winner right now!

Lol You call that a spoon?
Thanks Elizabeth, looks like you were able to post the comment after all. I would love to win and I hope the contest draws a huge crowd to your blog. You should be part of the fab 4 for IZEAFest 2008 with all the awesome things you do with your blog. You have a lot to teach us all.
Chazz,
Well it is difficult to eat with, soup is a real pain but anything really sticky and not runny is fine. Lol
Good luck, Drewbie!! I’m rooting for you!!!

Hi, Ben
How are things?
Looks like they are melted. Lol. Does the plastic melt into the food? I hope not. *Bwwellech!* Microwavable plastic tends to melt. I use the thicker tupperware types.

Thanks Mo, you should enter as well. I would not want to discourage anyone from entering.
Navillus99,
Thanks for stopping by, I checked out your blog, that would have been a great resource for when I was getting married. I especially loved the T-shirts for the Groom and Groomsmen.
Abas,
The plastic just melted itself, not into food. The food is okay. Thanks.
DREW
I never use a spoon. You don’t need one when you keep your bowl on the floor.

Stephen, I guess that this certainly would not be a problem for you then.
While this is an awesome post and all, I’m hoping you don’t win that ice cream because I want it all to myself!
Your cereal sounds really good. Do you just buy the 5 grain cereal from the bulk section or do you mix your own? I’m running to the store today so I’m thinking of buying some – and blaming it on you.
Of course, I’m also thinking of buying some of that ice cream (buy 1, get 1 free at Walgreens) but I’ll be blaming that on Elizabeth.
Oh it is on, it is on :-).
The cereal is Old Wessex Ltd. It looks like a container of oatmeal. It is actually pretty filling and good. I used to have brown sugar on it but then because of the diabetes I have it plain.
