Oatmeal

Okay, with a title like that no one is even going to read this post. Well, what should I call it gruel? BTW, what really is in porridge. Is it just a nice way to say eat the thing because it is good for you.

When I was young, oatmeal was terrible. It became like this thing that was impervious to milk if it wasn’t eaten right away. It was just oatmeal, milk, and the kid who didn’t want to eat it at that time. Now I even like the stuff. Of course I make it differently.

I bet Brent is a gruel guy.

      EJ, I take it you are not an oatmeal lover but why take it out on me.

    Socks don’t get on Weaties… they go on boxes of “Woolies.”

      Can I get those boxes in Trumpian Orange? “Make America Gruel Again”

    Oatmeal was for winter mornings on snowy days before we went out to walk through the drifts to school while Dad cursed his way through putting chains on the Plymouth.

    His salty command of naval language was the proper seasoning for the hot paste that we were told ‘would stick to our ribs’.

    I always associate oatmeal with the fuel before the storm, proving there is no fuel like and old fuel.

    I did remember going on camping trips and eating Quaker Instant Oatmeal. That is where you make things on a campfire and think it is the best thing in the world. All I did was add hot water and I had a gourmet breakfast among the trees. I liked the raisin and cinnamon ones.

    In my youth, my Okie forebears would occasionally afflict me with okra. Boiled okra. Was it gruel? No, but is was cruel.

      Japanese like okra. They like the texture.

      My father inflicted me with cocoa. I mean cocoa is good but this had that skin on the top of it.

    Oatmeal is for making cookies.

    4-5 days a week I start with a bowl of oatmeal lightly seasoned with unbleached sugar and a shot of soy milk. That is accompanied with a plate of scrambled egg whites.

    Weekends are treat time. Saturday is a whole roll (8, not that halfwit roll of 5 communist nonsense) of Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls. All by myself, no you can’t have any. All of them in one sitting while still warm and the icing that drips off them is liberated from the plate timely. That is washed down with a pot of coffee.

    Sunday is a whole roll of Grand’s buttermilk biscuit. Yep, every single one of them taken from the warm oven 2 at a time covered with at least half a stick of butter. Accompanied by a side of scrambled eggs and turkey sausage (gotta stay heathy and keep the cholesterol or whatever down) and the obligatory pot of coffee.

    Breakfast – the most important meal of the day.
