                For dinner I had Froot Loops. Two bowls of Froot Loops to be exactly. There was nothing cooked in my house and it was around 9pm when my mother came home and up to that point I was still really full from eating the four slices of pizza earlier. The only thing in my house that could be made on short notice with no mess and no money need was Froot Loops. After eating the Froot Loops I was actually very satisfied because it had an amazing taste. Froot Loops are my favorite cereal and I could probably eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner and the cold milk after the cereal was a good way to watch it down. I had to eat two bowls of cereal because if I eat small portions for dinner I get very hungry around midnight so it’s something I’ve learned about myself over the years and been able to fix. The other option I had was macaroni and cheese, with steak and broccoli but  up  to 9pm I wasn’t really hungry and even at 9pm I wasn’t hungry but not eating anything would have also had me up in the middle of the night looking for something to eat. This was probably the first time I’ve every substituted dinner for cereal but for something that is so simple to make it is probably the best decision in terms of taste. I’ve noticed when I think about food I only think about what is good to me. I can eat my favorite foods for days without caring that it’s the same thing over and over again. This connects back to my food ways because now there are many options of things to eat when no one cooks but when my mother was younger someone would always cook so there would never been any problem of worrying about what would happen if there wasn’t any food prepared. I think that if food was already made despite how full I was because macaroni is my favorite food I would have eaten that. I guess it goes to show how much I will do for food and I prefer food that is given to me or prepared for me and quick. If the food is not prepared I will just wait and take the option of food that I know will be prepared quickly.
