I decided to have Shredded Wheat this morning – not the preformed sort of sweetened little squares that are called Shreddies – but the bite sized shredded wheat. As I poured boiling water over them and then drained the excess water away, the aroma reminded me so much of my dad. He used to get the big bowl sized shredded wheat ready for us this way when we were kids.
A tinge of longing rose with the aroma.
