Day 3, breakfast and lunch

Despite my newfound interest in technology, I forgot to blog this morning! The Internet is already losing traction in my daily routine, even though I like it very much. It is indeed a curious place — I know Antonin's feathers have certainly been ruffled by the unfolding of this story.

Not that I have anything to hide — I don't — but I do want to make an effort to become more connected with younger Americans by shedding some light on my life. On my last post, a commenter named Leigh asked me to extrapolate on the general store in Weare that I usually patronize. It's called the Weare Center Store and is rather bare bones, but satisfies any citizen's basic needs. From there I purchase bread, milk, eggs, cheese and seasonable produce. Oh, and my favorite treat, Oreos.

Back to today. The morning really got away from me! I prepared breakfast last night, actually — a cup of oats soaked overnight in the refrigerator with a handful of raisins thrown in. Letting the mixture sit for eight or so hours results in a rich, satisfying emulsion when put over heat in the morning. The raisins plump up like little milky balloons — it's very good. A dash of cinnamon on top, and the secret of great oatmeal: a small heap of salt.

Lunch was the same as yesterday: a tall ham sandwich. I had some big carrots on the side — horse carrots, we always called them. And some jellybeans from the bowl on Pam's desk, which were a bit stale. Is it one month past Easter already?
