#SoCS - 15/3/25 - Crackle

The stream of consciousness prompt is given to us by Linda each week and all the details of how this works can be found here.

Today's prompt is "Crackle".

Well I'm sure many participants will have thought of the cereal "Snap Crackle and Pop" otherwise known as Rice Crispies.  Sorry but if you're expecting some originality then this is not the place to come.

I was going to check to see when Rice Crispies became a thing but that would rather defeat the aim of SoCS so I didn't.  However I did check how many cereal products are now available in my local supermarket.  194.  Yep I counted them.

Of course not I checked on the app.  The choice now is mind boggling.  I didn't stop to see how many of them were chocolate based but I'm sure there are plenty to keep a chocaholic like me happy.  I have 2 different varieties in my cupboard as I write.  For the Grandkids I hasten to add.  

My breakfast of choice these days is usually some variety of eggs with bacon, occasionally baked beans, mushrooms or if Hubby (who is the main cook in the house) decides to prepare an omelette it will often be a surprise.  He likes to throw in green things.  Not my first choice of food at breakfast but, as he nearly always makes it I'm not going to be picky.

Doesn't usually crackle though, although sometimes he will put oil in the pan and get distracted and then the smoke alarm starts going.  Thanks goodness for the smoke alarm - I'm sure he would have burned the house down by now without it.

We don't often get a sizzle either because we have an air fryer which takes care of the bacon and other things like sausages if we have them.  Yep I do like a full English breakfast - but I'll pass on the black pudding thank you.  (I would eat it if put on the plate.)

Sorry if I'm making you all hungry.  I haven't had my breakfast yet this morning but Hubby has just surfaced so it should arrive soon.  I hope so anyway.  

P.S. he's doing hash browns this morning!
