Fun fact, I have porridge for breakfast every day. I've got used to it since my boyfriend and I started to live together. Before this I had a tea and some sweet things like cookies for breakfast. We have been eating cereal in the morning for approximately one year. Then we switched to buckwheat porridge. We add some fruits and toppings to the dish so we've not got tired of it. Sometimes we cook something else, for example, an omelette or pancakes. But we cook the porridge more often.

There's one more thing I usually eat, it's chocolate. I think it's a bad day if I don't get any chocolate.
