Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

Replace the word “flavor” with “texture” in the above. Captain Crunch has a completely different texture than Rice Crispies, which is different from Shredded Miniwheat, which is different from Cheerios.

And sitting in enough egg whites and milk, it all gets pretty soggy.

That’s the worst part.

The idea of crunchy things sitting in liquid getting soggy makes my stomach turn

Dry would be the way to go then.

I also don’t enjoy crunchy foods in general (with the exception of meat crackling), which is why I never had a problem resisting chips.

Then you’d want to eat a non-crunchy one.

Bigger question: why should I eat cereal :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m of the opinion that there’s nothing you should do: just discussing the idea of not liking cereal.

Fair point. I think I’ve just conditioned myself to associate cereal with the soggy disgusting mess at the bottom of the bowl and crunchy foods with messy snack time in which everything gets crushed and stepped on

I confess I like cereal waaaaay too much to even have it in my house

I like mushy cereal, like shredded wheat microwaved with milk, and a hand full of cashews thrown in.

Also, I fell off the wagon with cashews. Was clean for like 4 months, then just impulsively bought a big container of them. I don’t even want help anymore. No more rasin and mini marshmallow mixes either. Just putting them straight down.

cashews are the Devil’s nut … too damn delicious.

People at work think I’m crazy though, because I buy one of those 6lb bag of just plain almonds and I prefer those to just about any other almond vairety

I love those too but I soak them overnight to soften up a little.

I confess that I have had a doughnut on more than a few occasions in the last couple weeks.

My donut consumption has tapered to virtually nothing in the past year from about a dozen/week (mostly Saturday morning). I was getting wierd with it too, looking into the fancy artisinal ones & stuff.

Do you have all your teeth?

I like mush shredded wheat, too. I go with the frosted variety and the sugar spreads nicely when it’s soaked.

Training confession: I want to be in great physical shape in terms of conditioning but I can’t seem to do anything to work towards that.

Kinda? I’ve had a couple of root canals.

I’ve always had this irrational fear of breaking my teeth while eating. I even have one of those cool 8 section apple core/slicers because I’m almost certain that whole apples will rip teeth out by the roots.

With your home gym, you ever consider a sled or keg? Amazing low cost/small footprint conditoning tools.

I second the keg suggestion. Sleds can sometimes make neighbours unhappy from the noise, but the only noise associated with a keg is if you drop it or your ragged breathing.

Plus, y’know, the ego boost you get from the neighbourhood housewives watching you march it up and down your driveway/street.

Confession: I really like that ego boost.

I’ve been looking at Spud Inc’s Traveling Farmer’s Walk handles to add to my small conditioning tool set … I have a jump rope and e-prowler at the moment but have always loved farmers walks

This is fucking real. And the intimidation of that one shitty neighbor dude is pretty great too.

Hard vote yes for the Spuds. I’ve had them for about 2 years and love them. Even took them to gyms when I traveled for work.
