Running on empty

I'm not a big fan of cereal. But the other day, I had to be out the door early. Plus, I didn't feel like cooking breakfast.

I emptied the dregs of Great Grains with raisins and pecans into my bowl. That wouldn't be enough to fuel my morning. I weighed my options: add some of my husband's Grape Nuts, open a new box of Great Grains with cranberries and almonds. I decided to use the last of my son's Cheerios, a mix of plain and yogurt-coated.

Done. With full bowl of cereal in hand, I reached into the refrigerator. The milk jug felt awfully light as I removed it. Sure enough, about six drops were left.

On the bright side, my cereal stayed crunchy to the last bite.
