New night-time craze
I’ve got into the habit of eating Weetabix late in the evening. Cereal before bed is not a new phenomenon for me, but the choice (and enjoyment) of Weetabix has surprised me somewhat. They’ve never been my favourite for three reasons - they soak up the milk too quick, I always seem to end up with toothache after eating them
and the residue is a bastard to clean out of the bowl. If you don’t rinse them out immediately it sets like concrete and not even a turbo-charged irradiated brillo pad can remove it. So I’ve always been a bit reluctant. But then I tried the lovely coconut and raisin variety and they fell back into favour, especially once I’d stopped buying the expensive ones and made my own home-grown alternative (cheap store-brand ‘wheat bics’ with value raisins and some desiccated coconut.) Now I seem to find myself munching on them every night after dark. A real treat after a hard days whatever it is I do with my time, and accentuated by the act of pouring currants on them. To be fair - anything tastes better after you’ve covered it in currants. They’re my go-to unexpected ingredient of choice.
Anyway I’d started this blog posting with the intention of asking whether it’s bad for my health to eat a bowl of breakfast cereal at bedtime every night and I’ve ended up just making myself hungry.
Kitchen, here I come….
