Cheetos.

... - purists would probably say I'm preparing it wrong (I'm sure I am; NOT a morning person).

While I'm not a fan of cooked oatmeal, I do like raw oats (perhaps, some equine in my ancestry?).

So, I've hit upon a quick and easy method of preparing oatmuck.

Boil some water, in a teapot, the microwave, whatever.  It must be boiling, though.

Take some old-fashioned oats (NOT quick or instant) and place in bowl.  Add sugar/sweetener to taste.  Add some non-dairy coffee creamer for richness.  A pinch of salt (essential).  Add some powdered milk for protein (or not) again, to taste.  Note that ALL of the ingredients are dry at this point.  Mix well.

By now, the water is boiling.  Pour enough water over the mixture so that it's almost soup-like.  Not too much.  Too little is better, you can always add a bit more boiling water, if it's too thick.

Stir thoroughly.  Let stand for a minimum of 2 minutes.  5 is better. Stir again. The oats will have "cooked" somewhat in that time (but not to the traditional mud-like consistency-- there will be some "raw" oats left).  I always garnish with a bit more raw oats, and a sprinkle of sugar to make a sort of "top crust".

Enjoy (or try to...) 

The thing I like about the above, is that I always have a "boiling water" container around-- so that doesn't get "dirty".  And I prepare everything else in one (1) bowl.  The ONLY thing that gets dirty is the prepare/eating bowl and the spoon.

Lovely sour dough bread with wonderful stinky goat cheese!

All bought in Malmö 600 km south of where I sit now by my loving SO (other girls might get flowers but I get stinky cheese  ).

As it's Shrove Tuesday, pancakes.

Laura came back from work, and we set to. While we were making yummy pancakes, she revealed that she had worked in a pancake place for 3 years! The woman used to make them professionally! We had good pancakes....

Home.  Drinking leftover "fountain" iced-tea.   At least it was labeled as "iced tea".  It somewhat resembles 'iced tea'.

Not unlike Dubya resembles a human being....

Filtered water, as we're STILL on a boil alert...

Gonna have to change filters in our reverse osmosis unit MUCH earlier since we've been toting gallons of water to Mom and 2 others in her apartments...

Just had a huge mug of hot chocolate.  It's a cheap mix, but, if you put coffee creamer and some powdered milk in there, it's quite passable.

And that's the nice thing about hot chocolate-- the worst cup is still pretty good..
