Hot Food Shuffle
Just this morning I was faced with a dire dilemma. Let me set the scene:
I had wandered downstairs to get some breakfast and as usual the world wasn’t making much sense. So to try and make sense of it all, I sat down with my breakfast. Deciding to be a little adventurous I skipped the Weet-Bix (the well-loved favourite though it is) and moved onto the corn-flakes and some toast.
About half-way through my corn-flakes, the toast popped. Blast! You see here I was presented with a most vicious decision. Either I went to go and butter my toast, and let the corn-flakes get soggy; or I kept eating my corn-flakes and let the toast get cold. What a choice! We all know soggy corn-flakes are no fun for anyone, but what’s the use of cold toast? The butter/peanut-butter won’t melt onto it! And at that hour of the morning, it was all just too much for me. It felt like the world was testing my mettle, and I was sorely failing.
That was until a handy housemate popped by and brought me the toast, a knife and the butter…Saved from certain indecision and the perils of cold toast and soggy corn-flakes!

You betcha Sach, sometimes I have to decide what to spread on my toast…If i didn’t like peanut butter so much I think it would be a real chore!

So what is the ‘professional’ approach Pete? Timing the toast so it pops just after you’ve finished the cereal? Or should I forego the toast entirely?

Never forego the toast. If ANYTHING forego the cereal and add an egg. The time it takes to cook an egg is almost exactly equivalent to the time it takes to make toast out of bread. Now we’re talking breakfast friend.
…and never forego the peanut butter either, for that matter.

How very nice of your housemate.
And I agree with Sach, eggs are always yummy.

Your friends are just telling you to eat a friggin’ egg every once in a while Will… and start lifting weights.
