a berry good evening.

because we adore food, and missy loves to cook, and i love to do everything involved with cooking besides the actual cooking itself, we tend to make dinner a lot more than most of our friends do. which keeps us pretty consistent with how we grew up, as our mom didn't work back then, and so we rarely ordered out, or ate the pre-made quick stuff - we actually did not own a microwave until i went off to college. no, seriously. - as there was some sort of home cooked meal on the table every single night.

due to these two facts, we've missed out on the pleasure that can be found in a simplistic evening meal. like having cereal for dinner.

we did it last night on a whim, and it was so super exciting. it just might have been the best bowl of cap'n crunch's crunchberries i've ever had.

and speaking of crunchberries, my obsession with them stems from the fact that as a kid, one of my absolute favorite cereals was smurfberry crunch - and go figure, crunchberries taste exactly like smurfberries. do you guys remember them? anytime i bring them up, people look at me like i'm crazy. (look to the left folks - i'm not)

i mean, i guess it is possible the cereal was only in stores for a short period of time because my grandmother was the only person buying it...but there must have been at least one other kid out there enjoying this smurfalicious treat.
