the buzz.

is it just us, or are honey nut cheerios everywhere lately?

i probably hadn't eaten them since i was about 12 (the ecto-cooler effect totally applied there), and then a few weeks back missy was told she needed to be concerned with her cholesterol and our pantry became stocked with it, and i must admit, i've been hooked again since first bite.

so now we're eating hnc's for breakfast every morning, and suddenly we start seeing a commercial for them almost nightly. and then we went away with friends, and what was the cereal chosen for the house - not by missy or i - you betcha, honey nut cheerios.

i know - this could just be one big coincidence, but i smell a trend. a natural almond scented trend.

so i went about researching hnc's to see if i found anything that would explain this current resurgence - i did not - but instead found directions to make a cheerios bear. which, as far as the realm of food sculpture is concerned, is one of the cutest things i've seen in awhile. i hope family and friends feel the same way, since i'm thinking this will be my go-to gift for this year. happy birthday, have a cheerios bear!
