Grape Nuts — Hot or Cold?
00:00:00.000 | Grape Nuts Breakfast Time! Crunchy little nuggets bursting with nut sweet flavor.
00:00:05.440 | Alright here's a question from our good friend Gloria Furman. If it works great,
00:00:09.320 | if not no problem. Let's hit record and see what happens.
00:00:12.200 | Hello Pastor John, I think it's great that you love grape nuts so much. When we
00:00:17.580 | were kids my sisters and I would be made to eat grape nuts on occasion. We never
00:00:22.320 | appreciated it so the parents ended up buying those little boxes of cereal for
00:00:26.180 | themselves. Now that my cereal preferences have changed and I live in a
00:00:30.500 | country where there are no grape nuts, I have occasionally considered buying
00:00:34.600 | grape nuts to bring over in my suitcase. The boxes are small but they are dense
00:00:39.200 | and heavy. It must be all that bulky fiber. This brings me to my
00:00:46.580 | question about how you eat them every day. If you eat them cold and they're
00:00:50.240 | kind of gritty and take more time to chew, but if you eat them hot then they
00:00:54.160 | have that half soggy half gritty effect. So Pastor John, what is your preference?
00:00:58.840 | I'm only willing to answer this question because I know who asked it and she is a
00:01:05.200 | woman of substance. You might say like grape nuts, though that probably does not
00:01:11.800 | sound like a compliment. The answer is no, soggy is not good and dry crunchy is not
00:01:20.880 | good. But cold milk crunchy mingled with mini shredded wheats and Great Harvest
00:01:31.480 | non crunchy granola, well-timed so that you you don't have squishy minis or warm
00:01:40.040 | milk. Now that is the right kind of crunchy. But really there's another
00:01:48.400 | secret that makes this breakfast unsurpassed in pleasure and has kept me
00:01:56.240 | coming back for about 30 years and gets me out of bed in the morning with hope
00:02:02.160 | and beckons me home while I'm jogging and makes me want to go to bed early at
00:02:08.320 | night so that I morning will come faster with with breakfast. So the secret is so
00:02:17.920 | special that I thought I would put it in a limerick and I want to dedicate this
00:02:23.960 | limerick to Gloria Fuhrman, woman of substance. Now this is the secret, the
00:02:28.800 | secret that makes this breakfast what it is. There once was a man who thought
00:02:35.840 | grape nuts were dandy while everyone else considered them sandy. But you don't
00:02:42.360 | eat them Sola, for the key is granola cuz molasses and honey make everything
00:02:50.520 | candy. That's the secret.
