Last Friday night Kiefer and I went to the grocery store, and I saw the most amazing thing ever.
I swear I did a little happy dance in the middle of the aisle. My happy dance is a cabbage patch-disco hybrid with some clapping and jumping up and down thrown in.
I love the flavored Frosted Mini Wheats. I have them almost every morning for breakfast.
These new mini wheats have frosting and fruit in the middle. Sounds like a Pop-Tart!
Sunday morning…I can’t believe I waited until Sunday to eat them either, but I promised Kiefer Saturday morning breakfast at Cafe Nola…aka Cafe Crunchiness.
So Sunday morning I popped open the cereal box and breathed in the sugary goodness, my mouth was already watering, and then this happened:
Kiefer: I’m out of milk.
Me: W-w-w-w-hat? ::lower lip quivering and eyes tearing up::
Kiefer: ::realizing the floodgates are about to open:: We’ll run to the store really quickly and get some.
Me: And doughnuts, too? ::wiping my nose on my sleeve::
Kiefer: And doughnuts, too.
Close call, Kiefer. Close call.
To hold him over, Kiefer popped a Frosted Mini-Wheat in his mouth.
Me: Don’t tell me what it tastes like! Don’t even look at me! Your face will give it away!
On the drive there….
Me: Sooooo…what did it taste like?
Kiefer: It was awful.
Me: Oh my god, that means it was delicious! Why did you tell me?
And it was delicious. Especially accompanied by a Boston Cream-filled doughnut with chocolate icing on top.

What if there were a Boston Cream-filled Doughnut Pop-Tart? Wrap your head around that.

I drafting a letter to Kelloggs right now. Sounds sooo good!
January 14th, 2011 at 8:53 am
Phew, that was close. I saw Kiefers life flash before my eyes when I read that he was out of milk.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
I may have started to chant “RED RUM” as well. I admit to nothing though.
January 14th, 2011 at 9:24 am
Heaven in a box!
January 14th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Exactly!
January 14th, 2011 at 9:44 am
Boston cream I can do, fake fruit in my cereal, def not. I’m with Kiefer. Ick.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Actually Kiefer just said “Ewww” to throw me off track. He really liked them.
As long as you like Boston Cream, we’re still cool.
January 14th, 2011 at 9:57 am
mmm – sounds simply delish. I must have a box! 🙂
January 14th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Let me know what you think!
January 14th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Love me some frosted mini sheats, but haven’t tried the fruit ones…now I have, too…but I really would be happy I’m sure with a box of those donuts!
January 14th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Donuts are dangerous….ever since Sunday, I’ve been craving more donuts.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:23 am
Is the happy dance on YouTube? It should be. It really should be.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
I tend to clam up when I know I’m being filmed/photographed, so someone who have to do a sneak attack-film.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:59 am
WHAT?!?!? I sure hope I can find this at my local store!!!! I used to get the fruit filled ones without the frosting…like 23 years ago, but they stopped making them. I am smiling…and my mouth is watering!
January 14th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Ooo…so this isn’t that new of an idea? Oh well, they’re still good!
January 14th, 2011 at 11:59 am
They have fruit inside?? SO COOl!!
January 14th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
My thoughts exactly.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:59 am
Go easy on the sugar there, my friend. Pop Tart -ish-ness and a donut! Two of my favorite food groups. Nonetheless, I worry.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Don’t worry…Pop-Tarts are only Monday through Friday. And donuts are a rare weekend appearance. Meaning that was the first donut in like 3 months.
I don’t do coffee for caffeine, so I eat sugar for a boost instead. =)
January 14th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Ohhhh yes, you definitely need to provide a video of the happy dance next time.
Wait a minute, aren’t Mini Wheats kind of healthy? They’re just a step away from SHREDDED WHEAT. That’s crunchola food in my book. I think you and Kiefer are close to meeting in the middle on this one.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:53 am
I like to mix the healthy with the unhealthy. One Pop-Tart, one piece of fruit, one bowl of ice cream, one bowl of salad.
January 14th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
I have no idea how you can eat that much sugar in the morning and still make it to the afternoon…I would just crash EPICALLY.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:54 am
I need something to boost me up since I don’t do coffee.
January 14th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Oh my.
Those look and sound amazing. I’m not even hungry, but I want them right now.
January 14th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
Mmm, delicious! Have you tried the Cocoa mini wheats? They are pretty amazing too.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:55 am
There’s chocolate ones? They used to have vanilla and then they stopped making them…jerks.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
These are all of my favorite things! Frosted mini wheats and boston cream filled donuts, oh god! DROOOOOOL. Where are my damn car keys?!!
January 18th, 2011 at 11:55 am
It may have been the best breakfast ever!
January 16th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Holy schmoley, do you remember Hidden Treasures?
January 18th, 2011 at 11:56 am
I don’t remember them. But they look good!
January 16th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
i think we have the same happy dance!
January 16th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I love you so much. You always make me laugh. This entry reminds me of Jen Lancaster, the funniest memoir lady ever.
January 18th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
I’ll have to check her out. I finished a book last night, so I can add another to the unread stack.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
Any man who will buy you a doughnut…is a definite keeper! Tell that dude to marry you! Like right now!!! 🙂
January 16th, 2011 at 10:36 pm
Smartest thing they could have ever done! I’ve gotta try that cereal. The donut thing is so sweet! My bf used to get me shipleys all the time! Mmmm… getting hungry just thinking about it.
January 18th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
It’s the healthy yet unhealthy cereal. Actually I seldom get enough iron and frosted miniwheats give me 90% of my daily iron, so I like ’em!
January 17th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
I have this theory that everything tastes good with Boston Cream donuts
January 18th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
An excellent theory. I think it’s provable.
