Am I alone? Heating cold cereal

17 years ago

And adding Parkay Free everything, then add milk to it?

Call me weird, but I love it!

Add your weird ways of eating foods!

I have lots!

Now you're making me hungry for cereal. My appetite is huge lately. (No, I'm not pregnant.)

I have not heated cold cereal, but I can see that some cereals would be good that way.

I have a friend who told me she likes donut sundaes. She warms a plain glazed donut in the microwave, then tops it with ice cream and syrup. Never thought of it, but it actually sounds very yummy. About a million calories, but yummy! LOL.

DH eats peanut butter and bologna. Spreads PB on a slice of bologna, rolls it up and eats it. I have to leave the room, it is positively disgusting to me.

I can't think of anything weird I eat, I'm boring that way.

A few more I noticed while watering today that might do: I grow Cotoneaster horizontalis variegatus in a 14" container in full sun and does well, but we have high humidity...might make a difference? The bunny leaves it alone too. Turns lovely shade of red in winter, but very few blooms and no berries. Juniper 'Blue Star' in a low container with silvery-white Centaurea gymnocarpa 'Colchester White' and bunny ignores. Check out this Centaurea...it's the whitest filigreed leaf and evergreen here. Thrives in full sun. 30" high, 30" wide mound. Spreads from root but not as fast as some Artemesia. Chrysanthemum pacificum (now I believe renamed Ajania) is lowgrowing but spreads well. Would flow over and follow contours of rocks. Tough plant almost evergreen...sort of curls up in Jan-Feb but already in growth again). Silver-edged crinkly leaf, small yellow button flowers in fall. And bunny ignores. Trachelospermum asiatica probably grows too vigorously but a slower variant is Trachelospermum asiatica variegata gets about 12 in tall..takes full sun. Few blooms but the green/white leaves take on reddish tones in winter. Toxic so no bunny damage. Haven't noticed bunny bothering my 30" clump of Rue. Ruta graveolens 'Blue Mound'. Mine is confined to pot but I believe it spreads if in ground. Nice blue foliage, insignificant yellow flowers. Don't believe bunny bothers. Hedera canariensis variegata grows about 12" tall, large -about 5-6"- colorful evergreen leaves on red stems. Pink tones in winter. Can't swear to it but believe no bunny damage. Have a Hypericum rather nice yellow flowers, leaves turn reddish in winter, grows about 2 feet tall and I've read that it will spread...mine's in a pot, but throws out 3-4 foot branches which I presume would take root if I didn't keep trimmed. Haven't noticed bunny damage. All these are in full sun growing within sight of my back windows and I see one bunny once a week or so. so no guarantee but just my experience. Have lots of varied plants but these are strong growers most of which I've grown for years. The Centaurea is a 3-year "newbie" which I like better than any Artemesia which often don't do well in our humid summers. Yes, I like variegated foliage! Smile. But I love foliage of all kinds more than flowers and so have lots of plain greens to set off variegation. You may want to stick to plain green version...they are usually even tougher and grow faster. Good luck with your project. josh

Heat and Light verses Light alone
Q
Comments (6)
Kevin, For a very small area like 2'x1', even 150W is really too much. A quick rule of thumb is that 20W per square foot is enough for most growing needs. Often you can use less than that, maybe a bit more for real high light situations. So for that small area, what you really need is a compact 40W light source and a reflector to make sure that you are only lighting that area and not the whole room. Metal halides are too powerful and fluorescents are too long, although you could use some 24" fluorescents if you don't mind the cost and low efficiency. I would recommend a compact fluorescent bulb and a reflector, you can get 42W bulbs quite easily, or maybe a bit more if you want high light. I'm not a herb grower, can't tell you exactly how much you need. On spectrum, the bulk of the light for any type of growing should be red, in the 600nm-700nm range. These photons take the least watts to produce and they are used efficiently by the plant. Blue photons can also be used but it takes more energy to produce each one. In practive you need about 10% of the photons to be blue because they cause the plant cells and leaves to orient properly towards the light and power some internal processes. This is equivalent to about 25% of the energy going into blue light. The physiological balances between plant elongation, branching, and flowering are controlled far more by the relative amounts of red and far red light than by the proportion of blue light. So it simply isn't true to say that blue light causes growth and red light causes flowering, this is a vast approximation that kind of defines the effects of HPS and metal halide lights. By an odd coincidence (or simply because somebody found out it works), the old cool white and warm white fluorescent combo puts about 75% of the energy into red light and 25% into blue light (ignoring the green bits!) and so do the pinky-purple grow light fluorescents in one tube. Metal halides produce more blue and HPS produces more red. HPS simply produces more photons per watt than other light sources and usually wins out, but the colour distribution can cause plants to elongate rather than grow compact and strong. The light distribution may also encourage plants to flower rather than continuing to grow, but if this can be avoided they will grow just as efficiently as metal halides. Commercial growers of most crops use HPS with blue supplemental lighting (or some natural lighting which includes blue photons) rather than taking the efficiency hit of going to metal halides. Take the hint from these guys because they have to provide quality, but it is their own money at stake. Metal halide bulbs (and HPS and, to a lesser extent, fluorescents) decrease in brightness over their lifetime. The decrease is not readily apparent to the naked eye unless you compare a new and old bulb side by side but it might be as much as 40% less photons at the rated lifetime. In addition, metal halide lamps have a habit of failing catastrophically if you run them right to failure. There are protective envelopes to minimise damage but failed bulbs can emit dangerous UV and be a fire hazard. Newer bulbs are less likely to explode, but metal halides are typically swapped out on a timetable rather than when they fail. Growers often swap them out at 6,000-8,000 hours to maintain maximum light intensity and efficiency. This might seem excessive and costly, but remember than the bulk of the cost of running any light source is the electricity. It is worth considering that even though you might get a freebie lamp from your friend, it will actually cost you more after a few months if it is more powerful than you need or if it is simply an older less efficient bulb. 150W metal halides, for example, are less efficient than the best fluorescents even with a brand new electronic ballast which your fried's lamp probably doesn't have. Metal halide efficiency peaks in the 400W-1,000W range, with 400W increasingly preferred because they are available with electronic ballasts which improve efficiency by 5%-10%. So, get yourself a 42W compact fluorescent, or a couple of 25W or 30W ones if you feel you need that much light, and rig up reflectors or white baffles to make sure that most of the light ends up on your small growing area. You can grow under the standard domestic 3000K/2700K warm white colour, but if you have trouble with stretching or bolting then look for a 4100K or 6500K bulb, either as one of the two bulbs or as the only bulb.

I'm cold. cheap heat!
Q
Comments (17)
I heated primarily with wood last year using a fireplace insert. I absolutely loved it- this was our first year in a cold climate (we moved from South Florida) and we were very concerned about freezing all winter. I can honestly say I never spent a warmer winter anywhere. But don't neglect to think about how much work it is. My husband chops wood all spring and summer to stay a year ahead so it is all properly seasoned. These are trees we took down on our own property so there wasn't even a truck involved- just hours of intensive labor. They have to be messed with fairly often (I can go around 7 hours or so between loads if I do everything perfectly), and in order to do it safely you have to study up on how to burn properly. The wood storage itself takes up a fair amount of yard space and isn't particularly attractive. It is messy. No matter how careful you are you will track in grime and drop little pieces, and it will be a daily chore to keep the area around the fire clean. You'll bring in a bug from time to time. Every time you scoop ash you try and not stir up too much dust, but you do anyway and so dusting chores are multiplied considerably. A safe installation is key and with a full chimney liner (highly recommended for safety) the whole shebang can run you an easy $3500. Regular inspections and chimney cleanings are essential and depending on your roof you may or may not want to attempt this yourself. So don't just see "free wood" and think it is a walk in the park- it's hard. But it is the warmest heat you will ever experience, and the fire itself is like a living entity- I miss it terribly in the warmer months. It is great when it's the right choice, but wrong for many households who are away the major portion of the day, fussbudgets, or even remotely lazy.

What am I doing wrong heating a Ham? Dried out!
Q
Comments (57)
I agree, Louise, I want beef rare. Really rare. gyr, you won't get any flack here either. I often pour a can of Coke or Dr. Pepper over a ham, and then glaze it during the last hour, some of my family likes the really sweet and crunchy outside edges. meyati, I also don't feel that good beef needs any "help", other than salt and pepper. My own ham was nice and moist, with a crunchy outside layer of brown sugar and mustard. I like pineapple but The Princess does not, so I didn't use that. We are having a LOT of leftovers, including some in today's bean soup. dcarch, I'm not a huge fan of ham either, it's definitely something I can take or leave, but the family loves the stuff. My ham wasn't cheaper, though. I bought a whole hog locally for $1.29 a pound, and that included packaging. Since packaging is usually about 50 cents a pound, that made my pig 79 cents a pound, based on hanging weight. However, anything I wanted smoked was an additional 99 cents a pound, so ham costs me nearly $1 a pound more than fresh pork does. Same with bacon. Annie

When I worked at Kellogg on the corn mills it was part of my job to eat corn flakes and frosted flakes right out of the toasting ovens. It was a quality control taste test. They always tasted good to me while they were warm.

I'm into flax cereal. Just add a cup, the Parkay spray, heat, add milk and eat. Delicious
My favorite: whole salted peanuts and mayo

Glenda,
which flax cereal do you eat?

I like to take Shredded Wheat, pour boiling water over it, let it sit for a bit, then drain off the water, would have the same effect in the microwave.

Corn flakes ... shredded wheat ... toasted O's ... Quaker's Harvest Crunch ...

... add a half teaspoon of brown sugar, a shot of milk (plus some cream) ...

30 sec. in microwave ...

... delicious!

Of course, most of the time in winter it's cooked oatmeal (various types), wheat, variety of grains, farina, etc. (but not used to grits) ...

... if there's a pan available that hasn't been burned.

I tried it for the first time this morning after reading this post. I had Special K, with yellow sugar and milk, microwaved 30 seconds. It was really good.

Thanks for sharing this.

I like cold cereal cold and eat oatmeal if I want something hot.

Guess I can relate to the mayo and peanut sand, but I like peanutbutter, Miracle Whip and Lettuce on wheat toast. :)

The only cold cereal I used to heat up were those big Shredded Wheats. And even then, I didn't heat them up but I would heat the milk. Then pour a bowl of sugar on top........LOL I don't do that anymore.

Drat this thing and it's proclivity for having "Caps Lock" become engaged! There's some arthritis in little finger, left hand, which makes it frequent on my computer ... and even more so on this borrowed laptop - I'm not familiar iwth laptops.

Hot cereal? Hmmmm, the only cold cereal I would eat hot is shredded wheat biscuits. My brother used to make them for us when we refused to eat another pancake (he would eat them everyday!)

Dip the biscuits briefly in milk on both sides.
Fry in butter in a skillet until golden brown on both sides.
(They will be really flat)
Put on a plate and eat like you would pancakes.
I prefer mine with butter, peanut butter, orange marmalade and syrup.

Did I mention they are healthy?

I like to dip my popcorn in ketchup (the only time I eat ketchup).
I am a dipper. I like to dip lots of foods.
I like liverwurst, bread and butter pickles and mayo on a saltine.

I have many more......
