Approximately 15 years ago, my daughter's first 'real' boyfriend was Chris. His mother was from the Phillipines, where she learned to make many wonderful dishes centering on rice. Now this is Chris' story. I wasn't present. When he was a youngster in the first grade in the D.C. area, one of his classmates brought in some Kellog's Krispie Treats and shared them with Chris. He immediatly fell in love with them, majorly. He came home and told his mother about them and described them as thoroughly as a first grader could. His mother thought they were made from real rice and not from Rice Krispies, which she was not familiar with. His mom began attempting to make sweet rice treats for Chris, none of which included marshmallows or Rice Krispies. Her atttempts at times were rather bizarre, and according to Chris, not very inviting. He never really forgot Krispie Treats, but ceased mentioning them to his mother. When he and my daughter began dating, he was a freshman in college. He was at our home late one Sunday evening, preparing to return to school. I decided, on the spur of the moment, to make him a batch of Rice Krispie Treats to take back to college in the D.C. area. As he watched me, he absolutely went wild. He then told me, after tasting the finished product, the story from his childhood. He had not had a Krispie Treat since first grade, but still remembered the scrumptious taste. It became tradition for me to make an entire recipe for Chris when he departed for college dorm life, instructing him step by step how to properly prepare them. I feel he continues to make them himself, wherever he may be. I'm 58, and my childhood memory also involves that we also had Krispie Treats and canned pears for Christmas breakfasts when I was growing up, the four kids in my family. Perhaps not the most nutritious of breakfasts, but all of our favorites. Way too much sugar and not enough protein, but DELICIOUS!!! Thank you, Kellog's, for allowing me to tell the story of Chris on your website. Andrea Chiles, PhD,RN Christiansburg, VA 24073
