I googled puffed wheat for you all. It even came with a pic of the finished product in images. Can't work out how to attach a photo, sorry.

Now I have a craving for puffed wheat squares. Where can I get one without having to make a 27 cup batch of them?!?

Hey Sara,

Thanks for the post! And for reading (plus background music!)

I’m not a cooking person but if I ever get a sudden urge I’ll have to try a version of this recipe (a smaller one I mean).

This is going to be my shortest reply ever lol! But short post, short reply!

I love you guys! Hope you’re all going well and having fun on tour! I especially hope little Sid’s doing good! I saw my cousin who’s Sid’s age the other day, they grow up so quickly! (That made me sound old, but it’s true!)

Thanks for sharing!

If that winged heart in scare quotes doesn't show up in the next Tegan and Sara t-shirt design, I swear I will drown myself in 27 cups of puffed wheat (in a bowl).

Holy shit, 27 cups. How many servings does this yield? I can’t eat wheat, maybe i would try with rice chex cereal? And maybe half the recipe lol

this is actually so funny.. I would eat a lump of syrupy wheat cereal...sounds disgusting lol. I don't think Sara/tegan was cut out for the chef lifestyle, good thing the band ordeal worked out. Also, I was at Spencers the yesterday and closer was playing. It was great.

If I did anything like baking, I would totally try this.

The way this iconic recipe is both haunting, ultra Canadian, and endearing all at once. I'm not sure I'd want to eat it, but I'd do it to entertain a child and avoid a Canadian guilt trip.

What is ‘not pancake syrup’? Is that like simple syrup? Or corn syrup?

Also, I have a business side of the house question for you. You mentioned you enjoy them. Late last year, maybe, you and Tegan appeared on the Seth Meyers Show and after your interview, you performed Yellow. It was one of the best renditions I had heard. Now, the video is unavailable. Why?
