Tip: Crisp Cereal, To The Very Last Spoonful

I love crunchy things and really don’t like when crunchy things devolve into soggy and then mushy textured foods. Breadcrumbs, pizza crust, and cereal are some examples of foods that start crispity crunchy and by midpoint of eating them are soggy.  To me, that makes them totally less desirable. I readily admit I'm a little slow sometimes. Before my crisp cereal epiphany, I would pour cereal into the bowl, top it with fruit and then pour milk over the entire thing. Sounds normal, right? Eureka! DING DING DING DING DING! NOW I put the FRUIT on the bottom, top it with cereal and then pour in some milk along the bowl’s edge. The fruit layer buoys and buffers the cereal from the milk pool. Sure some of the cereal falls into the milk but most of it stays crisp. Oy. It’s only taken me 40-odd years to figure that one out but I don’t care; I’m finally happy with my cereal - to the very last spoonful.
