I'm curious about the chocolate/cold cereal. Chocolate then cold cereal? Chocolate cereal (my weakness)? Chocolate in cold cereal? Additionally, what is Amish oatmeal?

Uh...obviously ignore me if you're busy/I'm annoying. Your food always sounds so tasty.

The preference is for Cold Chocolate Cereal (I love cocoa pops!) or just for cold cereal if we are out or somebody wants granola instead of chocolate.

Here's the link for the Amish Oatmeal

I've never tried it, but I thought it sounded good and worth a try.

Its no bother. I write this up so that I can refer to it later when I'm stumped for something good to cook...maybe I should refer to it now...I've got a couple of holes to fill.

I love Cocoa Puffs but my folk aren't getting any until they learn some words & logic. I don't think I can deal with hyper children who can't be steered into nice exhausting ball games of some kind. Cocoa Puffs makes a fine dinner once little folk are sleeping, though.

Oh! And thank you! Sometimes it turns out well, sometimes its a total flop. Tonight's tasted good, but I couldn't get the kids to eat anything besides the chicken. (Beyond their required 2 bites to be excused) Oh well. I take comfort that I'm exposing them to all sorts of things.

Oh yea. I also post it here 'cause the kids like to erase my white board where I write this for everyone to see. That way I can find it again. =\
