I'm sure I saw this recipe and a picture tutorial for making it on a blog somewhere this week, but now I can't find it. And soon after I saw that, I came across the same recipe in one of these food storage books that I have. But now I can't find it, either. However, that didn't deter me from trying it this morning. The recipe is simple, and it turned out good. I think this will be my new way of making oatmeal on the mornings that we have it.
1 part oatmeal (1/2 cup per person)
1 part milk (see proportion, above)
1 part water (see proportion, above)
Put this in a pot, add a shake of salt and a handful of raisins if you like, and turn the heat to medium. Stir it every two or three minutes, keeping the heat on medium, until it begins to bubble. Still keep the heat on medium and keep stirring it every couple of minutes, until it thickens up and looks nice and creamy. This takes about 15 minutes or so, I think. While it was cooking I ironed Jim's clothes for the morning and checked my email (gotta set a timer for that one so I don't get lost in my own world and let the oatmeal burn!).
Serve with whole wheat toast and butter, milk and a little sugar and cinnamon if you like.
Keeper!
