Yogurt, Müesli and Fresh Berries

The Swiss get away with a lot. Hidden in their mountain lair keeping time to the picosecond whilst the rest of the world goes about its business, unaware it's being observed and secretly judged for being late.

This mornings breakfast was made for me by my girlfriend (yes, thank you darling it was delicious).

Initially I found it dry and dusty with the berries being the only moistness. As the oats and other magic dust absorbed moisture from the yogurt the dish became more appetising. I think a few table spoons of honey might be a welcome addition to a meal a lot of people save for an occasion such as post-cardiac-surgery-convalescence. People see it as a chore rather like classical music or fine art, instead of a breakfast to be enjoyed.

One thing is for damn sure, it's not enough. You'll need a slice or two of toast to suppliment it. The disclaiming phrase part or a nutritious breakfast springs to mind. I'm not sure what brand of muesli I ate and I've found they differ wildly in their tastiness.
