I used to eat grapenuts and would have to mix those with the yogurt before I took my shower so they would be soft enough to eat. Grape nuts were seriously like eating little rocks until softened some, I found. I liked them sometimes but never could finish a whole box before I would get off that particular kick. And I was never with a lover who would eat them with me. My lovers have usually liked cheerios - a cereal I despise.
Cereal compatibility is now on my checklist.

I am roasting okra right now - it is good and not slimy. I usually put it in stew or soup or a couple of indian dishes.
