Day 37, breakfast

A secret is that I always have a bag of granola in my desk. I like it perhaps more than the average person. I'll eat virtually any kind of granola: nut and raisin, vanilla almond, cranberry orange, ginger walnut, even — I shudder to admit — coconut macaroon. I like to make my own, too, sometimes coating the mixture in cocoa powder for some additional decadence.

This morning I had bowl of apple cinnamon granola, which I got from the bulk bin at the grocery store. The apple chunks in it are somewhat modest for my liking, but it has a very good crunch. I like to eat granola dry and have fresh fruit on the side — today I had a cocktail of sorts with canteloupe, orange slices and grapes. I also had a generous handful of bing cherries — still fairly expensive this early in the season, but they looked so good at the store last night, I couldn't resist.
