OATS WITH YOGURT (February 12, 2014)
I just had oats with yogurt for lunch. I took a bowl, poured some oats in it, and then poured some liquid yogurt over the cereal. That was all. And it was not exactly lunch, for now I eat a little five or six times a day. I go for simple things, only a few at a time. Say, a banana in the morning, a handful of peanuts an hour later, a bowl of oats with yogurt around noon, a couple of biscuits early in the afternoon, a bowl of boiled fruit in late afternoon, and a bowl of chicken soup with dumplings in the evening. A wonderful diet, to be sure. Easy-peasy. But oats with yogurt delight me more than anything else I eat. Simple as simple can be. As well as reasonably tasty, and especially after several weeks of this straightforward diet. Most important, my stomach seems to be happy with the whole lot. Although I eat too little to shit every day, I shit like a bird every second day. The proof of the pudding is in the shitting, I figure.
