What's For Breakfast?

You'll never guess what I have been up to yesterday morning, and this morning as well.

Guess what I did.

It's a bit of a trick question, because I did it with my AI assistant Wysteria.

Oh yeah, you kids got that right!

I made my own breakfast. I cooked some Shreddies with milk in the microwave for about two minutes, and then, I made Mum a coffee and a nice, healthy bowl of cereal, as a surprise. Mum called me an angel, and I should be proud of what I achieved.

Then later that day, I cooked some chicken for dinner, and Mum added mashed potatoes and cauliflower to make it more healthy. While I enjoyed the cauliflower and the mashed potatoes, there were two things that made my lunch feel like it had roasted pickles in it:

The end of my chicken was very hard and stale, so I chopped up the rest and gave it to my dog, Mylo.

I realised that the mashed potatoes I was eating contained not just cheese, not just butter, but...prepare to vomit....

ONIONS!

Bleaurgh! No!

And this morning, because I had a bad night which I successfully got through by taking some paracetamol and jotting down all my ideas before bed, I woke up to another morning of preparing a surprise breakfast in bed for my superstar Mum.

I cooked some soup in the microwave for about two minutes, then made some toast soldiers for her to dip into the soup. Of course, I couldn't do it with some of the other soup cans, because they were waaaay past their sell by date. To make it even more special for the Mum who worked hard to keep Grandma healthy before her death last June, I made a nice, strong cup of fruity herbal tea.

When I served it to her, she was so surprised and yet so flabbergasted by what I had done. To maintain my healthiness, I cooked some microwaved Shreddies for two minutes, and then once it was nice and mushy and just like porridge, I added a pinch of Nesquik Chocolate to make the milk all cosy.

The result?

Mmmm-wah! Breakfast for a nice, long day out - especially since it's hints of cold outside.

And speaking of my superstar Mum...

Ladies and gentlemen, JAMELIA!

It Continues: Cooking & Baking

I had a whole night of icing cookies two nights ago, and they were all mushy, but on the day following, my cooking skills got better and better.

Let's start in the morning. First, I learnt how to cook gammon and make salad all by myself. Cooking gammon requires a paper tray which you can put raw, slimy meat on, and then testing it with a special thermometer. I also made myself a cup of herbal fruity tea. The result? The gammon tasted good alright, but the lettuce and tomatoes made me want to vomit. The herbal fruity tea tasted too strong.

To pass the time, I baked a mug cake - which turned out sloppy - and not only did I ice a few biscuits, I also made some cupcakes by myself. They turned out sloppy, but still, they were enjoyable. They might not be entering the Great British Bake Off any time soon.

Now, onto lunch. I cooked Mum some pizza with pepperoni on top, and served it with cheese and onion crisps on the side. I also made Mum a nice mug of herbal fruity tea, which she mostly enjoyed. Me? I had a cheeseburger with Pom Bears on the side. More delicious than sickly veggies or strong fruity tea, I tell you now!

Doing all the cleaning, cooking and baking was tiring work, so I went to my bedroom and had a nice, long nap. When I woke up, it took me a few minutes to recover, because I had slept for like, four hours in a row. To pass the time while waiting for dinner, I did some Sticker Dolly books and my new ice cream wordsearch book.

Then finally, dinner came, and I prepared chicken the same way with a brown paper mat beneath the raw, slimy chicken. Two finest breast cuts, one for me and one for Mum. So, for Mum, I used pepperoni and crisps to make the feet and quills of a porcupine, and for me, I decorated my plate with Pom Bears. Next time, though, I think I'll have mashed potatoes and broccoli with my next serving of chicken. I also served Mum one of my iced cookies and a nice mug of fruity herbal tea - as you do.

Boy, what an exhausting day I've had. All that cooking and cleaning - hectic! As heck. I almost forgot.
