    I'm so glad that the raviolini were good. I can't wait to try them. The wine bottle and cork were so cute! I loved Grapenuts, Golden Grahams, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch as a kid. Since I've been sick these past five and a half years, I've really gotten back into cereal, as it's sometimes the only thing I can get down. I've been really into Cinnamon Toast Crunch, with the occasional Golden Grahams or Capitan Crunch. I typically use almond milk, or sometimes oat. Have an amazing vacation. Alaska is on my bucket list. If I manage to win the luck lottery and get good news this scan, I want to try to take my mom to Alaska before her memory is totally gone. She hasn't traveled much and has always wanted to go.

    Great video! We just got a chance to watch it tonight over dinner (our tradition for watching your show). Wife just shared with me that when growing up, occasionally her mother (who was one one of the first women Marines, and who passed last August, weeks before her 101st birthday) would buy half and half, and my wife would give her Rice Krispies a little boost of flavor with it, unbeknownst to her mother! She loved it! My favorites have changed over the years.Early on, joining my grandfather for a bowl of Corn Flakes sprinkled with sugar. This was before the sugared cereals! Then Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, which have stood the test of time and are even available at Costco. and also Cocoa Puffs, Cap'n Crunch and Sugar Pops. Past childhood, I've liked Grape Nuts, Special K, Raisin Bran and some of the healthier new cereals available at Costco. Oh, and how about hot cereals? Cream of Wheat! And when in college, those instant flavored oatmeal packages. Lastly, though I'm not usually one to spread rumors, I heard that "Trader Dick" grew up on Corn Flakes. Unfortunately, it was from a stolen truckload of recalled product that had turned moldy. Explains a lot about his behavior. We hope that you are having a great trip!
