big spoon obsession

dear love,

confession: i like to eat cereal with big spoons. wow, it feels so good to finally get that out in the open. all my life i've been ashamed, i've been trying to hide my true feelings, but i won't let that happen any longer. here's the story.

cereal is really yummy. and perfect when you are in college because cooking for just one person is kinda LAME. i love love love cooking so much, but when you make one dish and have to eat it for like a week until you cook the next thing and have more leftover, it just gets old. hence, the whole eating cereal often thing. now, because i do eat cereal so often, it has become somewhat of a ritual. i have a certain type of milk i like, a particular requirement for my bowl, and there's definitely rules about my spoon. the bowl HAS to be able to make that blessed "clink" sound when the spoon hits it, no plastic in my house! The milk has to be 1% milk that is REALLY REALLY COLD. and last but most definitely not least, the spoon has to be larger. about the larger spoon—the reason i've always been a little ashamed is that i thought big spoon equaled big eater, or in other words, fatty! ahh scary. so i just tried to eat with the small spoon telling myself that the small spoon is the right choice. just the other day, it dawned on me though. i realized for the first time that it's ok to like the big spoon. and the great thing about it is that i know why i like it now. more milk per bite. every spoonful tastes better with more milk. it's not because i like to take giant bites, but it's that i like to have lots of milk in every. single. morsel. so there you have it—a little insight into my soul.
