Any other milk-firsters out there?

Milk first. Then some cereal; not too much. Eat it. When the cereal's gone, add a little more.

This science-based approach to breakfast results in maximum crunch and a sog-factor of zero. I've been doing it since I was a kid, when I think I experienced some soggy trauma with daycare PB&Js.

People are disturbed by this approach, and I find that endlessly entertaining. It's as if the cereal-first approach were codified on some sacred tablet since the Before Times, and I'm going to burn eternally for my sacrilege. We recently went on a trip with our close friends. One of them was particularly put off. I tried to get her to explain her horror, and she couldn't quite articulate it. To paraphrase, "It's just wrong!" 😂

So, any other milk-firsters out there? Solidarity, my kin. Live your truth.

Edit: Sandra at Idiomdrottning sent me this video, which is a perfect example of this phenomenon! Skip to 11:35 if you're short on time.
