I had Quaker Oats for breakfast this morning. Not the instant kind. It's way better than instant. But, steel cut are even better than what I had. It tastes more like food. Don't know how to explain it otherwise.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It's not thin when my mom makes it. My dad cooks oatmeal in a double boiler and does some mysterious thing that changes the texture considerably. That's more gruel like.

Personally I am a fan of mushier oatmeal so I tend to like Irish oats. Cooked with milk, of course.
Guh - that's the opposite of the way I like oatmeal. I cook it with about half the recommended water so it's less glutinous and you have more of the oat texture. Then I tend to prep it in the Ple-vian manner: brown sugar, raisins, cream. Or maple syrup and butter.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh. Look who else made a guest appearance on the Justice Leage: [link] (the second entry). No word on whether or not he flirted with Clark.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
In thinking about my evening, instead of doing work of course, I think I am gonna watch 2 movies tonight.
Bourne Identity - then break for dinner and JoA - then Napolean Dynomite. That should give me sufficient knitting time too, maybe I'll finish the back of my sweater. woo.

Hec's oatmeal sounds like my oatmeal.
I liked Blade II but I love Ron Perlman, so that probably skews my opinion.

Technically he hasn't voiced on JLU, has he?
I knew that "U" would be trouble.

I've had and mostly liked all different viscosities of oatmeal. Except the absolute gluiest. It starts to trip my texture issues then. Which I prefer at any given moment depends on my mood and whether the emphasis is sweet or salt. Saltier needs to be on the thicker side.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Mine, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
All the feedback I've had so far from people here is that it is very mushy. Definitely not thin like gruel
When I've had it (either because I made it or a restaurant did), it was creamy with nutty little chunks in it (I assume that's because the steel cut oats don't disintergrate in the same way that rolled oats do). As I said, it's good, but it's not my heart's image of what oatmeal should be.
And ftr I don't think of gruel as universally thin, but rather as, well, 19th century oatmeal. Have I been wrong all these years? Is it usually made out of something other than oats?
