I'm going to try my oatmeal tomorrow with blueberries and some cream and a touch of raw sugar.
How long does the crock-pot oatmeal last in the fridge? I've got three cups left so a day? two?
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

You know, when I make a big pot of oatmeal - I usually freeze it in batches. I've never just kept it in the fridge.

Given that it's just grains and water, and maybe dried fruit and/or nuts, there's nothing to really "go bad". I've certainly kept it for days. To reheat, I generally add a bit of milk when I heat it back up.

Excellent. Then, I can make another small pot in a few days to last me the rest of the week.

I'm tempted by all the crockpotty oatmeal talk, but seriously, I only have so much space in the kitchen for appliances! I have a coffee maker (two, actually--roomie has one), a toaster oven, a kitchenaid, roomie has a blender, I just got the sodastream...I have a decent amount of counterspace, but am scared it's all taken up by small electric appliances!

meara, we have a tiny one--it maybe holds five cups of liquid--I keep it under the counter and it's great!

Har. I'm not doing too bad, actually. I've ruined my manicure about as much as I usually do when I'm NOT holding a giant knife.

That's why I love my appliance garages so much. I shove it all in there, close the little garage door and it looks all neat and tidy. Except the penguin. That didn't fit, plus, you gotta have that on the counter! Also the KitchenAid. I bought it red because I wanted it to be seen!

The status is NOT quo.
OMG. I CANNOT WRITE ANOTHER COMMENT.

I want an appliance garage sooooo much. The first time I saw those in a kitchen? Ooooh, kitchen porn, baby.
I have very little counter space and it's mostly taken up. But I tried storing the Penguin away and I forgot about making fizzy water for a week. So that's out again.
