No, thanks, guys!.....I'll just open a can of Luck's peas and boil some rice!

Image
                  As my friends head to a restaurant, just blocks away... to be served a half cup of peas, with a blob of tinned fish eggs, some fashionable oily drops and a sprinkle of dried herbs.....a glass of wine and a chunk of bread....to shell out $35 for Sunday Brunch.......plus tips to both the waiter & sommelier and   an obsequious parking attendant...Yet....these trendy eateries are packed with consumers every weekend...... Should I ' upgrade ' to Margaret Holmes ' seasoned black-eyed peas.....for an extra 75 cents?   

AFTER A LIFETIME OF HAVING 'CEREAL & MILK' A COUPLE OF TIMES EVERY WEEK FOR A LIFETIME......

      Currently, the 'Mix' is one of Grape-Nuts, whole grain wheat flakes, yellow corn grits Honey Oak Crunch, sliced prunes...rolled in powdered and grated coconut, English walnuts, golden raisins....and, perhaps, sliced dried apricots and/or dates....swimming in a bowl of chocolate oak milk.......Such was the journey from Rice Krispies and whole milk, sprinkled with white cane sugar....as a child.....
