I eat my vegetables and get my exercise and take my vitamins, and I even got a flu shot!
I know, right? I still have the plague!

Jamaican meat-filled pastry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Again proving my theory that every cuisine's version of "bread with meat in it" is awesome.

That sounds like a good theory. I think I will test it as often as possible.

Dana,
Wheatberries (and kamut) don't need an overnight presoak, but if you do, you can reduce the time spent boiling them. What has worked for us is to use a slow cooker for wheatberries overnight. Otherwise the 1:4 ratio means we are boiling FOREVER.
In terms of overnight steel cut oatmeal, I boil it in a pain then turn it off and let it sit overnight to absorb the rest of the water. I also do a 1:4 ratio of grain to liquid on these. In the AM, I will turn the flame under it for like 3 minutes to heat and drop in frozen fruit.

I don't have a slow cooker. (Which sounds kind of like heresy with the whole oatmeal discussion.)
I guess I will put them in to soak tonight. Thanks, Kat.

I'm dubious on meat+potatoes in bread. Potatoes+ bread is just too much for me. The ethiopian somoasas (I have no idea the spelling) I got last week were awesome in their spices, but potato+bread. Ngheh.
Need to ask the vendor if they'll just bake me the bread. Nomnomnom.

Dana, then I'd do a presoak. If you do 1:4 grains to water as your presoak, then don't change the water. Just boil it in that. The grains will soak up a (very) little before the boil.
Grace means we experiment with grains more. Kamut is my fave so far.
