I've been on an oatmeal "kick" lately, but take the easy way out. I buy fine, quick-cooking oats, put them in a bowl with a cube of brown sugar and milk, and zap everything for two minutes.

I do, but none of that instant stuff. I like the Irish oatmeal in a can that takes 30 minutes to cook. But I don't mind. It's worth the wait!

Do you people make yours with milk and sweetner?. Gil does it the scottish way which is water and salt
He thinks the way i do it spoils it.
I make mine with water and salt as well (old-fashioned way).

Same here - the pre-packaged ones have too many additives and preservatives for my liking.

When I was a kid, my best friend's mom would always make an extra bowl of oatmeal porridge for me when I came by to pick her up for school. Her porridge was just so much better than my mom's it seemed to me at the time.

After it's cooked, I put lots of brown sugar and homo milk with a bit of cream added and mmmmmmmm, good. My mom used to put a dab of butter in it too.

My favorite is Cinnamon Roll flavor.
Second favorite: Banana Bread flavor. But I love most oatmeals, it has to be pretty bad for me not to eat it.

I've tried having cold cereal for breakfast, but I just can't do it. Especially in the winter. It makes me so cold first thing in the morning. Plus I'm hungry like an hour later.
Oatmeal sticks to your ribs.


I also like Cream of Wheat, Coco Wheats, and Malt O Meal. Can you tell I was raised on hot cereal?

I'm like that, too. I prefer the Irish oatmeal. I can make do with the old fashioned regular oatmeal in a pinch, but I really hate the instant stuff. It seems pasty to me.

I guess we're just oatmeal snobs.

I LOVE oatmeal, but usu. have spices & apples, pecans, raisins in mine. I add maple syrup while cooking (anyone remember Maypo?) and then top it off with half-n-half

I love Cream of Wheat, too, but I get the rush & then crash unless I add extra protein to the meal.
It's great to see that there are others out there who also like oatmeal
