big bowl of oatmeal with a plop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream on it. yum! when i was a kid, i hated breakfast unless it was last night's leftovers. sometimes mom would make fried mushrooms on toast (you can eat that as a sandwich, on the run to the bus), or "velling", a swedish mix of rice and milk, simmered with a little butter. some folks like cinnamon and sugar on it, but i alway liked it plain. good stuff for minnesota winters!
