Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

Quick Breakfast

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on July 8, 2009

Breakfast is difficult for me.  Most of the time, I’d rather eat a turkey sandwich or bowl of soup for breakfast than cereal or eggs.  Ok, really, I’d like nothing more than to skip breakfast but we all know what a no-no that is.

I’m enjoying this quick recipe though. 

5-minute cereal:

2 tbsp quick cook barley, 2 tbsp bulgar, 2 tbsp oats mixed with 2/3 cup water.

Microwave 2 minutes

Stir in cinnamon (optional raisins or dried fruit)

Microwave 3 minutes

Then I add whatever I have.  This morning, I added sliced banana, maple syrup, walnuts, frozen blueberries, and coconut.  Finally, I stir in just a little bit of milk.

I don’t like oatmeal or most hot cereals but the bulgar and nuts gives just the right texture for my palate.
