But tucked away in a cupboard, there were the regular oats that you cook to make oatmeal, and today was a good day to remember them. I decided to make oatmeal as part of our lunch.
Now, the directions on the container said to add salt and water, but in our house oatmeal always went with sugar and milk. So I took a cup and a half of whole milk, boiled it with two tablespoons of sugar, reduced the heat, then added a cup of oats and let them cook for about five minutes. Then I served it in two bowls, one for me and one for Bow.
It was still kind of hot when Bow asked for his bowl of Oatmeal. But he enjoyed every bit of it.
