I woke up Sunday morning and decided to pamper my stomach just a bit. I've always been a fan of oatmeal and other hot cereals (I had them a lot as a kid), so I made myself some McCann's Irish Oatmeal. For those who aren't familiar, it's a steel-cut oatmeal. Unlike the more traditional Quaker-type oatmeal which is rolled and bleached, the oats are coarsely cut and very much less refined. It takes about 40 minutes to make a batch, but when they're done, the taste is incredible. They have a very nutty flavor, a nice thick consistency, and a springy texture (not hard, not soft, not crunchy, not chewy, but all of the above) that is simply wonderful! I mix a cup or two of raisins in at the end, and top it off with butter and brown sugar in the bowl. It tastes great, it's great for you, and it sticks to your ribs for a few hours!

Anybody else tried steel-cut oatmeal?
