WINTERTIME GEOCACHING WITH MIKE AND BESS

 

A view of the Tammany Creek area from 10th Street, Lewiston Orchards

It was a nice day – sunny and warmer (the afternoon high was 50), but Mike deemed it too breezy for a bike ride. We decided to pick up some geocaches instead. We found three. One was missing.

And while we were driving around in the vicinity of Rosauer’s (grocery store), I suggested we stop for a few items we can’t find elsewhere. I didn’t have my list, but it was only four items, and we were able to reconstruct from memory – maple and brown sugar Malt-o-Meal, pie crust mixes, and tapioca pudding. I even found fruitcake mix – got the last one. It pays to check at Rosauer’s for those hard-to-find items.

“It didn’t take long to spend $25,” observed Mike. He calculated that a Malt-o-Meal breakfast costs $.38 per serving. I told him he’s worth it. KW

Yes, I think he is worth it. I think .38 per serving for breakfast is a bargain, these days.

Hi Chuck! You're right that 38 cents is a bargain for breakfast. It's just that the overall cost of the box of Malt-o-Meal ($5.00+) startled us, especially Mike. The box contains 18 -1/4 cup servings. Malt-o-Meal, oatmeal, and grits are Mike's favorite breakfasts. I am not a fan of hot cereal. Breakfast here is "on your own."
