Soreen

You wonder why I'm going on about Soreen?! Soreen is my 'take a break' food.  Yeh I know some may prefer the Kit Kat or Mars Bar, I do too, but the calories in those chocolate bars just rest on my hips taking its place forever a bit like a cat that lands on your doorstep, you give it some milk and the darn thing never goes. That's how I view chocolate, you feed your system with it, just for the reason of 'having a break' and it's a slippery slope.  So when I have chocolate, it's because of a special occasion, treat or just out of the blue I fancy it, that way I have a firm grip on it.

Anyway back to the Soreen.  Not sure, if any of you have ever tried it but I kinda love the stuff.  Well at least I do until I get sick of eating it all week!  I'm a bit like that, I can't eat the same stuff for more than a few times in a row, then I need a change.  I guess a lot of my life is a bit like that.  I like variation, same monotonous crap kinda makes you a tad suicidal.

Well, I eat my Soreen, sliced and buttered.  A bit like eating a fruit cake, excpet it's malty and a lot less in the calorie department unless you decide to be a bit heavy handed with the butter, then I guess it's a different matter.  I've always bought Soreen loaf and often wondered if they 'Soreen' had any other products on the market and lone behold, I found out they do a cereal bar! A 95% fat-free cereal bar with 143 calories, can you believe it?.. one packed with raisins, rice, malt, oats and wheat.  Just the kind of energy boost you need on a mid-morning break.  Now I sure am excited, though I 'm pretty sure my supermarket is not shelving the product, so my quest is to locate a supermarket that does and then maybe, convince my local supermarket to add a new product to their cereal bar line...well 'if you don't ask you don't get', that what mother always taught me!

To a healthy and happy break of Soreen..! :)
