To my new acquaintance, Mark.

I agree with you on the salute to the wonders of our great choices in today’s world even when there are hiccups in the global supply chain. But, remind me not to invite you for breakfast. We don’t eat or even drink the same things. But thank goodness for the microwave to make my Steelcut oatmeal in a quick 4 minutes. I’m not a coffee drinker at all ( even though I went to school in Mahtomedi with Jim Cameron of the coffee you seem to drink) and only have water to go with pills and supplements in the morning except for skim milk on the oatmeal. My fruit of choice would be papaya but for breakfast, I stick to a few prunes. BTW, Jim Cameron lives in Costa Rica and now is more in the chocolate than coffee business and brought us his own chocolate bars when he last came to a monthly lunch.

You are the most wonderful type of new subscriber. One that comments. For the record I eat steel cut oats also with almond milk alas. Please tell Me Cameron I like his coffee. For the record I also drink tea on occasion. My favorite coffees are those with a hint of chocolate like Caribou Reindeer Blend so he is onto something. I'm guessing his chocolate is great

I thought your breakfast sounded weird but it LOOKS great. Readers want to know: Why a separate plate or bowl for every item?

I'm guessing they are probably now made out of silicone as those are harder to fashion into a weapon and the food is easier to clean up :) While I am not sure when, I had a work experience LONG AGO that involved prisons and making weapons...another day, another story.
