Nikki's PB&J question (http://sweetshoppedesigns.com/community/showthread.php?t=13711) reminded me of something

when you have cereal with milk, which do you put in the bowl first? cereal or milk.

I put in cereal and then add milk, which I think makes sense so you know how much milk to add.

DH puts the milk in first and then adds cereal. :blink: isn't that strange?

sometimes I'll do fruit, then cereal then milk. My milk has to be just-so with the level of cereal. I can't imagine adding milk first - how do you know you'll have enough?? :huh:

duh. cereal first. DH will put cereal first but then with the left over milk in the bowl he'll put more cereal in. so i guess he does both. I just drink the leftover milk straight out of the bowl, lol.

You're right Mimi -- that is strange. I've never heard of anyone putting the milk in first.

cereal first but sometimes I will add more cereal if I have milk left. I do not like alot of milk though. My husband adds sugar to almost every cereal. I think that is the weirdest thing and absolutely disgusting. he even adds sugar to honey nut cheerios and frosted flakes!!!

Cereal then milk. When the cereal is gone, I can't seem to make myself drink the leftover milk, can't stand the taste. I know it's a waste - but it gets dumped.

Cereal first because I don't like soggy cereal so I have to see exactly how much milk to pour in so it just covers the bottom of the bowl.

haha, me either! I'm all about dry cereal. My DH thinks it's weird but I just don't get why you'd want it to be all mushy. :D

I only pour the cereal in last for seconds.

I like me some cereal.

Cereal first, then milk. It is ok to add cereal to the leftover milk, though. Of course, I say that as DS is sitting with me slurping down the rest of his milk! Some snack, huh? ;)

cereal, then a splash of milk (mainly cause I don't do dairy, so if I have cereal, I am desperately craving it - or there isn't anything else to eat. lol).

For the kids, cereal, and then enough milk to just see it. they always end up adding more cereal to their bowls though, they are piggies. I swear, we go through three big boxes of cereal a week in the house, with just four kids eating it!!!

Cereal then milk. Your DH is weird, Mimi. And yes, I do not understand the dry cereal concept. Although.. once.. my roommate ate cereal with sprite.. because we had no milk.. and the thought of that still makes me gag.

Cereal then milk, otherwise you can't see properly to get the proportions right.

I don't "DO" milk (blech) so I put in the cereal and then sprinkle it with a little milk just to get it a little cold and then eat it almost dry. LOL!!! For DH and DS, it's cereal first and then milk.

Cereal first, how would you know how much milk to add?

Sometimes I put in extra cereal if I have enough milk left.

My kids LOVE dry cereal, and won't eat certain kinds if I put milk in them, because they don't like them smooshy LOL

Cereal THEN milk - but I don't want it in a bowl. I want it in a cup. No idea why. just how it has to be ;)

I always do cereal then milk, BUT I have also seen my husband do it the other way. I won't get into why he does it the other way, because it really makes him sound anal.

I put cereal then milk..but I don't drink the milk when I am done, it goes down the sink...DW thinks I am a weirdo, but there's just something about the idea of cereal bits mixed in my milk...eeww..I am gagging right now.

Cereal then milk - but just enough to cover the bottom of the bowl. Like my cereal crunchy, but will drink any left over milk.

Ha-ha! It basically boils down to him wanting to get the milk back into the fridge as fast as possible (he is a little paranoid about the milk getting too warm) and he also thinks that if he pours the milk first, his cereal won't be as soggy. To each his own, I guess.

Milk first, then cereal...and when I'm done the cereal I get out a straw and drink the leftover milk :) (sorry for making you gag, Aaron! LOL!)
