Hilton Head Island: a solution from GANNET

 

As regular readers know for decades my breakfast on land and sea has been ½ cup of uncooked oatmeal, ⅓ cup of trail mix, a scoop of Vital Whey protein powder, berries, milk.  On land the berries and milk are fresh.  At sea the berries and milk are dried.

Recently I have been adding to the mix.  Two dried figs, a dried Medjool date torn into small pieces, another half scoop of protein powder, and more berries, usually blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, but sometimes strawberries, and more milk.  This has resulted in filling our cereal bowls to spilling level.  The solution was obvious:  do as I do on GANNET.  So I ordered another Oxo 4 cup measuring cup from Amazon and spill no more.

Although I wake early, I do not eat my breakfast until around 10 AM and usually I eat only half or two-thirds then and put the rest in the refrigerator, eating it in midafternoon or sometimes the next morning.

Other than finishing off the oatmeal in the afternoon, if I do, I no longer eat lunch.  

I was never a big eater and in my old age eat even less.
