Peppercorns is a good way of describing them. I know some people add milk and warm them to a mush. Regardless, I think they're vile. I'm with you: bran flakes are better!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Arlene: I think because people had a sense of taste and knew how to collect priceless pieces. Today's wealth seems to be more about simply possessing the latest gadget or disposable whatevers. Grandma June would have liked this house!

I couldn't tell for sure from the enjoyable video, but my memory is of oversized peppercorns, and just about as hard.<BR/>I am afraid I am a Bran Flakes man, as supplied by Kellogg's UK.pierre lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371090008924140199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-65932947026767637972008-11-19T23:13:00.000+01:002008-11-19T23:13:00.000+01:00She certainly liked weddings!!

Some of the pieces and art in Mrs. Post's collection easily rival a number of the treasures in the Smithsonian system.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Wayne: Thanks! Grape Nuts are a vile cereal. Actually, it's one of those cereals you either love or hate. There's no in-between.
