That way, I can eat as I drive, sans milk...usually Cheerios because I can't deal with sweet stuff first thing in the morning. I love the crunch too! <br /><br />~ DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-51103097941429070482010-07-10T12:14:12.486-04:002010-07-10T12:14:12.486-04:00I hate soggy cereal so much that I can't even ...I hate soggy cereal so much that I can't even stand to have milk in it. I'm a dry cereal kinda guy! It's just...I don't know. I think I tasted it once, threw it against the wall (maybe I was 2? LOL) and said "never again" (because I was that articulate when I was 2).<br /><br />Seriously, though, my wife always teases me that I should just eat it like candy if I'm not going to put milk in it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722667383694168074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-68833050798143103922010-07-09T11:00:53.304-04:002010-07-09T11:00:53.304-04:00Sandra, I imagine it was a huge shock to your syst...Sandra, I imagine it was a huge shock to your system to move from north to south, particularly in regard to iced tea! Psst, don't speak it out loud, but I've been known to put clover honey on my grits once in a blue moon. Yes, it's true...I'm a rebel that way. Usually I like them with cheese and crispy bacon on top. We don't call all sodas Co-Cola here in Knoxville, but I guess it depends on what area in the south you're living in. I like all the little quirks and colloquiallisms; it's what makes each region unique & fascinating! Thank you for visiting & leaving such a fun comment!<br /><br />~ DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-69662294861008813862010-07-08T20:50:02.281-04:002010-07-08T20:50:02.281-04:00What a shock to move from the north to the south a...What a shock to move from the north to the south and order ice tea and discover SUGAR! I've learned to love it. I've also learned to love grits with butter and pepper--but my DH still tops it with SUGAR, which drove the southerners mad. <br /><br />And our Georgia friend always called soda (pop, sodie) Co-Cola. No matter what kind.<br /><br />And toasty cheese crust, slightly burned . . .

In order, here we go...<br /><br />The person whose name is in Asian characters, I agree with you - our differences are what make us all fascinating!<br /><br />Bill, I laughed out loud about the kissing part. Another sin to lay at the doorstep of cosmetic manufacturers - they're interrupting valuable smooching time w/ those nasty scents & flavors!<br /><br />JC Dude, I have Yankee family in Indiana, and even though my Aunt was born & raised in East TN, over the years she assimilated to northern preferences. I believe she even...*shudder*...puts SUGAR in her cornbread mix. This is a considered a crime in the south! Oh, and coffee? I'm in the minority there - cannot abide the smell of it. Funny, the preferences we each have.<br /><br />M.D., I did not know this about you and burnt popcorn! You & my Mom are going to get along great at some point in the future. I DID know you like soggy cereal, but I overlook this flaw because I really care for you so much! ;-)<br /><br />Helen, GOOD point about highly scented cosmetics clashing w/ any fragrance we wear! You'd think cosmetic manufacturers really would 'get' these complaints. I hereby swear, when I start my own cosmetic company (and I plan to do this for real), that I will not slap nasty cheap/fake flavors & scents into product! You can quote me on this!<br /><br />Lainie, you boiled my whole blog down to four lines - I am sitting here in true admiration of this talent! I have to work hard to keep my content to a sane, i.e., relatively short, length!<br /><br />Glynn, I can remember that type of thing from my childhood. Soda drinks were also called 'dopes', going back to the time when Coke really contained cocaine, I guess. "A yellow dope & a Moon Pie" was a classic pairing, i.e., Mountain Dew being the 'yellow dope'. What a fun walk down Memory Lane!<br /><br />Fire Fly, I like dry cereal on Greek yoghurt, like the Fage brand that's super thick. It keeps the cereal from getting soggy as quickly as the more runny type of yoghurt - give it a try!<br /><br />Wendy, oh my word...maple syrup?? Someone has slapped THAT into a lip gloss?? I think I'd turn green withing 20 seconds and be scrubbing it off in record time. Don't get me wrong, maple syrup is delicious, but the scent of it right beneath my nose all day would be atrocious. Your craving comment made me laugh, but I can see how that would happen!<br /><br />Everyone, both old friends and new visitors to my page, thanks for the fun comments! Duane's carnival link seems to have brought me some new people & I want to say a warm Thank You for stopping by! I will investigate each of your blogs in return & will look forward to getting to know you all.<br /><br />Namaste',<br /><br />DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-9192531562350110272010-07-08T13:30:42.604-04:002010-07-08T13:30:42.604-04:00I have a love/hate relationship with some lip balm...I have a love/hate relationship with some lip balm I bought that smells like maple syrup.

Sweet tea was the standard beverage (we called it tea back then -- we didn't know there was any other kind). And every soda was called a Coke, thanks to Coca-Cola's historical domination of the Southern market ("Would you like a Coke?" "Sure!" "What kind?")Glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802111972232088511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-52146759099721324982010-07-08T11:25:58.033-04:002010-07-08T11:25:58.033-04:00Burnt popcorn: ew.
