Holy Smokes

I FORGOT to eat BREAKFAST this morning.

After my morning coffee-with-soy, I somehow came to believe that I had already eaten my breakfast. Then I was like “why does my appartment smell like cinnamon? Breakfast has been over for a while now.” And that’s when I realized my breakfast was STILL ON THE STOVE, not in my stomach.

This does not happen. Usually, I start thinking about breakfast shortly before bedtime the night before, and do not stop thinking about it until just after second breakfast. This is the one thing I have in common with my friends’ four year old daughter. It is real. It is primal.

So, recipe for hunger-beating miracle coffee:

1. Heat 1/3 cup soy milk + 2/3 cup water together
   (This way the soy milk will not curdle, curdling being the polite word for the weird breaking-into-a-million-creepy-fragments-and-floating-to -the-surface-before-sinking-to-the-bottom-of-the-cup that most soy milk will effect if added to any other warm liquid.)
2. Add espresso.
3. Drink.
4. Don’t forget to turn off everything else on the stove or you could end up eating really mushy oatmeal an hour later.
