Head Above Water

Day One: Lox

When it comes to breakfast foods, I’ve always been a Waffle-Crisp-or-bust sort of kid. Growing up, sugary cereal was pretty much the only option. Eventually, I got so sick of it that I just stopped eating breakfast altogether. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I started consciously eating the mainstays instead of cold pizza or Froot Loops. 

I’ve noticed a great deal of people who’ve had periodic cravings for this mysterious thing called lox as of late. I had no idea what it was and felt a bit out of the loop. Nobody at our table even had a clue what it was (so before anyone jumps at my throat with the whole WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!? rouse, my parents are equally at fault here). So when a regular-looking breakfast plate arrived at our table much to my surprise, I felt like I copped out a bit here. However, a quick Google search dutifully informed me that  lox is basically salmon, and my fears were quelled. For some reason, I’ve never had salmon before in any capacity either, so my meal still counted. 

The results? 

I’ve never had a more enjoyable breakfast (save for that one time I got a hella-rad Star Wars watch in the bottom of Waffle Crisp on my birthday).

One plate down, 29 to go.
