This morning while I was eating Peace Cereal and reading the side of the box, I realised that, as it originally started, the cereal industry continues to function solely because of religion. Kellogg, a Christian fundamentalist, started making cereal to stop people from wanting to masturbate and/or want sex in general (seriously, he thought cereal would stop making people horny. Obviously he's never had morning wood... Though perhaps that's why cereal is largely marketed as a breakfast cereal). Quaker, obviously named after Quakers, makes a whole bunch of cereals. Relatively new, Peace Cereal is based on yogic beliefs of one Yogi Bhajan. Breakfast is solely based on religion. Bacon tastes like sin, it's so good.
This was all very amusing to me this morning, but probably because I didn't sleep enough.
Just home from a marathon day. I have an assignment due on Wednesday morning, so stayed after work to work on it (it isn't done, so tomorrow night will be a looooong night) until it was time to go to Parkside for my last Dine Out reservation. Last week I went to Chambar with a couple of friends and had a lovely late dinner of crab soup, roasted trout and pepper ravioli, and macha pot de creme with blueberry compote, with olives and poutine to fill up any empty spots in our bellies. Pretty yummy. Tonight's dinner was delicious as well: cheddar and onion pie with greens and York ham, veal scallopine with crisp sweetbreads and osso buco ravioli, and blood orange pannacotta. We all agreed that we should really put more effort into eating at nicer restaurants once in a while. With my influx of dresses, I should probably get dressed up and find somewhere to go so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth out of them.
Right now all I can think about is the dusting of snow outside. Hopefully enough falls tonight that school is cancelled in the morning. I've got a crapload of work to catch up on, and could really use the morning to get something done. I suspect we'd only need around 10 cms to shut the school, so I'm hoping for 20 cms for good measure. It really has to start falling in massive flakes for this plan to work, so cross your fingers for me.
