I just got up.

The cat has just eaten my Weetabix.

Seriously, I have lately discovered that I *love* Weetabix, so I buy them
all the time and eat a lot of them.

I set down the bowl to answer someone's post, and the damn cat has started
lapping the milk out of the bowl.

Try them with either sugar or lingon. (Or lingonberry jam, depending on
what they call it where you are) Really nice.

Been there. These days I never, ever leave my Weetabix where
Schroedy can get at it.

*His* latest trick, incidentally, is to miaow planitively for
food when I'm on the computer. When I get up to feed him, he
jumps on the comfy computer chair and curls up...

I think "Weetabix" sounds like a perfect name for a herbicide...

Our cat has a small bowl of muesli every morning.

Seriously. With milk, but she eats the muesli as well.

At the end of the winter, we put out some bird seed on a tray. She
started eating that as well. We reckon she was thinking "They eat that;
they fly. If I eat that..."

Mind you, if she could fly, we would have the RSPB Enforcers round here
in no time flat; she is bad enough with mice and rabbits. What she could
do airborne defies imagination.

Or maybe it doesn't - I have seen falcons hunt. Are falcons cats with
wings and no fur?

Yes!

There's a store here that sells the extra stuff from random high-end places.
When I saw lingonberry preserves, I bought several jars. I did indeed eat it
with the Weetabix, but now it is all gone. :-(

Thing is, I thought he'd just drink some of the (small amount of) milk. But
no, he ate the Weetabix crumbs as well.

Try dipping your Weetabix. I like them with garilc-flavoured olive oil
and balsamic vinegar.

Savory! Never tried that, but I just ate two of them spread with a mixture
of natural peanut butter and Nutella, a chocolate-hazelnut spread. Was
*very* good.

You're sick.

The proper way to eat Weetabix is to place them in a large deep plate/bowl
that's flat enough that you can place the Weetabix flat on the bottom.
Place the bowl on a folded napkin for insulation. Then you slowly pour cold
whole milk into the plate -- but not on the Weetabix -- up until the level
of milk is just below the top of the Weetabix. The Weetabix must not be
covered, nor must it float. Eat quickly, before small pieces dissolve,
float off and pollute the milk. If you want a sweet taste, place small
strawberries and/or banana slices around the Weetabix. Oh, and don't forget
the napkin.

Nonononono...

Take weetabix and fill bottom of same bowl - now pour over hot whole
milk until weetabix are covered - add sugar to taste.

Heretic. Weetabix, hot milk, /golden syrup/.

Then throw away the Weetabix and use porridge like God intended.

No no no no no - It's throw Weetabix in bin, pour milk in to freshly
brewed large mug of tea and sit back and relax as the kids go through
their morning ritual of trying to kill each other.

No, you're all wrong.

Place two Weetabix in a flat-bottomed bowl, as above.

Pour cold milk over the Weetabix, being careful not to miss too much;
the aim is to saturate them to about 50% with milk without getting too
much excess milk in the bowl to compromise the Weetabix' structural
integrity.

Apply sugar or lingonberry jam to taste. "Lots", "ample" and "buckets"
are good words here.

That is my favorite way so far, much preferred to others. But lingonberry
jam is hard to get, here in Ohio.

I think breaking bits off and eating them with a glass of milk is also good,
and that Nutella & PB combo this morning was excellent.

Oooo, I'm with you on that.

There's a *reason* it's called "creme de bleah".

No porridge, no oatmeal, no cream of wheat, not even
any rice pudding, for that matter. Evil slimy stuff.

Maybe some Red River Cereal, if it is buried in apple
sauce[1], laced liberally with raisins, and heavily crusted
with toasted pecans.

May I? Than kew.

Cat Nap Question

©2001 Rocky Frisco

Thomas Cat is dreaming;
Thinks he's gone to heaven;
Asking God for wings so he can fly.
Thus he hears the answer:
“Get the birds’ permission:
Find yourself a mouse and ask him why.”

How can dreams come true,
When everything's connected
And pussycats have murder in their eye?

Where do all the birds go
When the skies are opened?
Will they find a place beyond the sky?

(Musical Interlude)

Where do all the words go,
When our eyes are opened,
When our hearts are blowin’ on the wind?
Bend them to a song
And let the music take them
Far beyond the stories that they spin.

Out to where the birds go.
Out to where the dreams flow.
Out to where the music never ends.

Love can make the breeze blow.
Love can make the trees grow.
Love could even bring you back again.


-Rocky

Wheat compressed into an oval shaped biscuit. Eating one is a
tasty and nutricious part of your balanced breakfast, eating
two at the same sitting is a feat of endurance.

When I eat them - not as often as I'd like, these days - I tend to have
two. And then another two. And maybe a couple more, if there's any jam left.

OTOH, Man has yet to invent another material that can rival the sheer
tensile strength of Weetabix+hot milk once it has been allowed to cool
and solidify.

That entry sure needs amending, I don't recall Weetabix and tasty ever
being mentioned in the same sentence when I was a kid, more "Not
chipboard for breakfast again mum?"

Yeah :-) I always think that in these commercials for dish soap and
dishwasher tablets - even clothes detergents come to think of it - the
test should be not how much grease a product can release and remove but
whether the set Weetabix and similar is removed or the nice coloured
stains from the baby food and chilli.

The entry, in keeping with Wikipedia's much touted NPOV,
doesn't mention tasty. *I* like them.

Yeah. After realizing one morning that I'd worked my way down half of the
sleeve of biscuits, I had to check to see how many calories the darn things
have.

Ohhhh, yeah. Do NOT let the remains dry in the bowl, or you will regret it.
The sharp little protrusions that result will take gouges out of your hands
when you try to wash the bowl.

Ben Elton did a pertty good sketch (about 15 years ago on The Man from
Auntie) where he assumes a serious pedagogical tone and a shop coat and
extolls the virtues of cornflakes as an adhesive.

But to spoil the fun, I have finally figured out that you just need to let
the water do the work. Good old universal solvent that it is, a bowl of hot
soapy is yer only man for cast iron cornflakes and spot welded weetabix
