Special K Frutti Rossi



I am obsessed with this cereal and since all of my visitors have left and I can once again do as I please, this has become both my breakfast and my dinner (not all that cheap at the special Venetian price of 3.19 a box). Currently, at 10:49 pm I am enjoying a bowl before Gius gets home. It is too hot to cook and I don't feel like creating too many dirty dishes as I am already up to my neck in house cleaning-- even neat guests leave dirty sheets and towels and extra dust.

Other than that today I have eaten two cucumbers, olive bread, 4 Oreos (which are just making their way to Venice), some cheese and crackers, and a peach. My diet is so screwed up but it probably has to do the the overall weirdness that is Venice in August. The city is half-closed and although it is a slow tourist season Venice is teeming with Russians and Eastern Europeans who do huge group tours but stay on the mainland. People are either gone to the beaches or here but kinda anxious because the summer is ending and would rather be on vacation.

But alas, there is the simple pleasure of eating Special K at 11pm all by myself.

that's one of my favorites too...in the States it's about $5 a box..so with the dollar exchange, that's not a bad price in Venice!
