gement | I am actually making a post about oatmeal.

I hereby thank

tylik for teaching me that if you dump some oat bran in a bowl with water and microwave it for 3 minutes, you get delicious hot breakfast cereal exactly the consistency that I like. This is not quite as exciting to me as the new flame, but it's surprisingly close.

I eat both breakfast and lunch at work every day. I strongly prefer to eat things that I can buy as 1 or 2 ingredients at the grocery store, keep in the freezer or desk drawer, dump in the microwave if necessary, and eat.

Because I've been doing this for a while, my available hot foods include broccoli, spinach, frozen peas, strawberry-and-cream soup, toast-and-cottage-cheese, sausage with potatoes, and scrambled eggs. And now hot cereal.

(I'll also eat canned stew and hot pockets, but I tend to keep those in reserve for when the fresh stuff runs out. I don't go to the store often enough to keep things like spinach constantly available.)

Me and Bert, baby. Me and Bert.
