She left behind my hairdryer (I can't remember where it came from, but I can guarantee I've never used it); a banana (now gone); an apple (also, no longer); an open bag of oatmeal (porridge); and some other odds and ends.
I made myself a 'bowl' of oatmeal this morning.

Generally one adds some sort of liquid to oatmeal... :)
ReplyDeleteKnatolee:
DeleteI did! How else would it have formed a clump?
Yeah, this happens...
ReplyDeleteTravis:
DeleteTo you, too? Maybe we should start a cooking school.
Mitchell, your oatmeal looks a bit dry....just add some milk and stir it up, throw on some cinnamon and pecans.
ReplyDeleteLinda:
Delete"Just add some" and "throw on some" are very dangerous cooking directions to give to someone like me. I DID add some milk. See what happened?
the dish is delicious but the film is so sad. Charles Dickens wrote so sad novels..
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteI've been recently reading and/or re-reading all of Dickens. So much tragedy. But, trust me, my dish was not delicious. I don't think even Oliver would have asked for more of THAT!
Oh, you guys! Life is just a bowl of oatmeal and visiting cathedrals in Spain. I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteFrank:
DeleteStop by anytime. I'll go cathedral-hopping with you and make you a spoonful of oatmeal paste.
Definitely leave the cooking to San Geraldo or you shall waste away to nothing my friend :)
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteSo true... Thank the heavens for San Geraldo!
I just watched the musical Oliver on TV a few days ago. I've read the book since the first time I saw the movie and my what a difference.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteI just recently re-read the book. Fascinating and so much more tragic (and real) than the musical.
I took my kids to that movie when they were in grade school. They both started crying and we left the movie without seeing the end. Guess it really wasn't intended for little innocent tender-hearted kids. About that oatmeal... maybe you just like it chewy ;-)
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteI didn't even try my oatmeal. It was more pasty and clay-like than chewy. I probably should have sculpted something out of it...
Erm... mebbe stick with the instant stuff?
ReplyDeleteJacqueline:
DeleteJudy doesn't like instant. But this stuff supposedly only takes four minutes in the microwave. I had to stop it at 2-1/2 when I saw what it looked like. I WILL try again and I WILL succeed.
Tut ! Proper oatmeal (no instant rubbish) is a delight and cleans out the system of nasty every things. Keep practicing.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteI haven't given up. I didn't feel like going to the bother of cooking such a complex breakfast this morning. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
