Guacamole and Cheerios

There are all kinds of delectable foods from different categories that somehow blend beautifully when combined…

Like oatmeal and raisins. Chocolate and peanut butter. Macaroni and cheese.

Or french fries and ketchup (or the Rhode Island tradition of french fries and vinegar).

But guacamole and Cheerios?

That’s what greeted me this morning as I entered Audrey’s kitchen. Both William and Alex were busy mixing Audreys’ famous homemade guacamole into their bowls of Cheerios.

OK. I know that Audrey’s guacamole is good. Real good. And I certainly am game for a nice bowl of Cheerios with ice cold milk. But guacamole and Cheerios combined? Really.

I guess William must have read my mind. “Grandma,” he said, “this is delicious. We use guacamole instead of milk.”

Oh, good. Instead of milk. So guacamole with just plain old Cheerios. OK.

And then Alex chimed in, “This green stuff is de-wishous. Want some?”

“No thank you, Honey.”

But hey. I can’t say that it isn’t healthy. And more unusual combinations have become pretty famous.

Do you think I should tip off General Mills that they’re missing the boat on this breakfast special?
