My previous post about oatmeal was popular. I would say "who knew?" except that's always how it is -- long introspective entries get no response, short ones instigate nothing short of ten. (I'm guilty of this too.) So anyway, a follow-up to steel cut oatmeal.

Yesterday I wasn't so keen on my breakfast, but then again, I made the mistake of doctoring it too dramatically by adding a tablespoon of flax seed and then honey. I forgot that I maybe don't like honey. And the flax seed soaked up all the moisture and caused it to end up burning and sticking to the pot. I ate it anyway.

Today I kept it simple. Halfway through I added a pat of butter, couple tablespoons of skim milk, a tablespoon of maple syrup, and a few shakes of salt. It tasted ok. But then I topped it off with raspberries and it was aMAzing. I tend to lean towards savory breakfasts, but not always, and if the right fruit is involved, I like sweet&salty together in the morning. My other hot breakfast cereal is some 814327 grain mix that I make and at the end add big dollops of peanut butter and strawberry jam (or apple sauce) and mix it up and it's like hot PBJ in a bowl. Ok, that sounds gross. But it's good.

In Other NewsTM, it has been confirmed that while I would have no-strings-attached sex with a guy who voted for Bush, I will not have it with a guy who's fatphobic. This is all concluded on thought experiments and past history, no current practices, as right now I'm primarily enjoying a chaste relationship with my new bedding.

I think my feelings about steel cut oatmeal are clear to long time readers but I support you in your quest for the perfect bowl. Mine is topped by a fried or poached egg and a dollop of salsa and plain yogurt, salt & pepper. Drink lots of coffee while eating.

You have worked your lj magic and I must buy a feather bed now! Or two! I also have the amazon.com free prime special, for the second time! They gave it to me once before and I loved it, but not enough to pay eighty bucks a year. I am a fool for free fast shipping. They don't ship feather beds either. They do ship boxes of peanut noodles though should I wish to stock up.

xoxoxoxoxo.

they DO ship feather beds. just only a select few brands. they also ship the pillows i bought....and the coffeemaker. and i'm tempted to buy a tv too, solely for the free shipping! ok, that's a fib, i was thinking of a new tv with my xmas bonus anyway, because ours makes everything green which is really bad when watching b&w movies.

i will try your egg and salsa and yogurt method, as i am intrigued by the savory oatmeal. i imagine in this meal, it's a little like brown rice (which i like with fried egg and diced tomato and beans and cumin).
