Has anyone here tried steel cut oatmeal? Has anyone not hated it?

Love it. chewier than any other oatmeal -- I add dried fruit in the last couple of minutes of cooking. I am planning on doing the overnight method sometiome between toninght and sunday night. Left overs reheat well.

Stovetop method - not hard, just takes time. I have heard of people ( including my parents ) soaking it over night - I never did.

Steel cut oats. Taste better - more oat flavor. more fiber which means it is good for my diabetes and for things like cholesteral. and I like chewing.

Alton Brown - doesn't add salt while it is cooking - I 've tried it that way - I noticed no difference in the cooking time - and It tastes better if you add some salt while cooking.

cooking time

I usually use 1/2 water and 1/2 unsweetened soy milk ( ups the protien). a little slower - because soy milk does bad things if it gets to hot. I tend to use 1 1/2c oats to 4 cups liquid.

Now I am going to make yogurt sorbet....

there is a teacher here that was keeping her pregnancy a secret, but I think every single person knew. She was big. I think she is officially out on leave now.

I thought Biggie-Kim was hard fact and out in the open. SHe was pregnant with his baby and had an abortion. Don't know what is currently going on with Faith, I am ignorant of current music stuff.

You can also prevent guacamole browning by squeezing a little lemon juice on it.

oh yeah - Jesse go get chips and eat that guac. mmmm.

now of course I want guac and chips for dinner instead of oatmeal. I think the two together might be grossest combo ever.

For Burrell, two definitions of guel from the OED:

Thanks, sarameg! Now I'm feeling all vindicated about the oatmeal, but a little weirded out by the idea of adding meat to it.

See, you both need to make it with much less water.

I never use water, or at least I never use just water. It's so much tastier made with either milk or soy milk.

I just thought that it wasn't nearly as much fun as the original Blade.

Can't argue with that. I expected it to be realy really bad, so I was pelasantly surprised.

I think the two together might be grossest combo ever.

msbelle makes me laugh.

Burrell, it's so nice to be posting with you.

but a little weirded out by the idea of adding meat to it.

I've had a thick oatmeal with bacon crumbled in it. And butter. Mmm, grease.

OMG! I forgot:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRACLEMAN!
