Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Asian Dining Rules'

I enjoy eating Asain foods but I really don't know how to use chopsticks. I just visited my daughter in New York ,she is a big fan of sushi and knows how to eat with chopsticks. Her belief is when you vist a ethnic resturant you should go by their customs,which is wonderful. I tried sushi for the first time,I liked it and would eat again. What I loved was the wasbi sauce and the thin slices of ginger.( I used a bit more of the wasbi the first time ,now I know better.) I really enjoyed and was surprised to see on the plate.

Cereal with Water and Other Cereal Compulsions

@wunami: Toushe. I was wondering if someone would catch that. Maybe I'm delusional, but I believe the Special K with Berries flakes are more coated (ergo more protected against sogginess) than the normal Special K flakes. So I bumped them up to the other category. Does that make any sense?

What desserts do you crave?

Oh, I forgot this one--it's a bit low brow, but I'll confess. Love the Pepperidge Farm coconut layer cake that is in the freezer section in the store. I am in the wedding industry, and have had TONS of wedding cake and this stuff tastes better than most wedding cakes out there. Nice moist crumb and the frosting is excellent. Not sure about their other cakes, but I crave this one!

Cereal with Water and Other Cereal Compulsions

So happy about this post. I, like many people who commented, have had to endure endless ridicule for using water. Obviously it's not as yummy as milk, but in a pinch it works! My personal favorite is Honey Nut Cheerios. Hooray to Ms. Zimmer for making water and cereal ok!!!

Cereal with Water and Other Cereal Compulsions

- Avoid the flake family. (Honey Bunches of Oats, Frosted Flakes, etc.)
- Yes on clusters, freeze-dried fruit, and other chunky additions (Special K with Berries, granola, etc.)

Um...isn't Special K in the flake family? How does adding dried fruit make it okay. The flakes are still going to be unpalatable after getting soggy with the water instead of milk.

What desserts do you crave?

Nineteen or twenty years ago after staying at the summer home of a friend of mine in Little Compton, RI we stopped for ice cream in Tiverton, RI before driving back to CT. I had the best pistachio ice cream ever. It was the first time I'd seen pistachio ice cream that was NOT that unnatural green color that is oddly associated with pistachio ice cream. It was so delicious and I've come close but never tasted an ice cream as rich and delicious as the one I enjoyed that day.

The original post doesn't say anything about giving up milk due to calories. Only that it was too much milk. Since anyone who isn't of European descent (any many of us who are) shouldn't have cow's milk, I imagine it gave her digestive problems. My partner stopped having gastro-intestinal issues when she gave up cow's milk. I've noticed health improvements, too.

Bravo, Rhetor. Bravo.

My cereal mishaps have never had to do with the liquid (I won't use anything but non-dairy milk) but one time I was out of cereal, so I crumbled up granola bars and popcorn into the milk and ate that instead. Mmmm. Soggy starch.

Cereal with Water and Other Cereal Compulsions

when I was 13 or 14 I was visiting my dad, and he had almost nothing to eat in the house, (I think once I even ate expired bacos and cheese for dinner there) and I needed breakfast. I was starving.

there was cheerios, and the only liquid in the fridge was beer, so I ate cheerios and beer for breakfast. it was actually pretty good.

I like almond or hazelnut milk on cereal sometimes myself. My sister swears by Crispix and hot cocoa.

Yeeech. Unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk (http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/coconut_milk_beverage.html) would save a lot of calories (either will be 40-50 calories per 8 ounce serving) and taste a whole lot better.

Does the milk not have more nutrition than the cereal? (okay, manufacturer-added vitamins, maybe, but you could eat anything and take a vitamin pill just the same)

I like my cereal soggy and with milk. If there's no skim milk available, I'll use a little bit of whole milk mixed with water. But it MUST be soggy. And never for breakfast.
