TWIDI (1) How I Make Oatmeal

TWIDI = The Way I Do It

Well, we all have certain ways of doing things. Just for the fun of it I will make an occasional post that tells how I do things.

Today's entry is: How I Make Breakfast Oatmeal

1 cup of water (2 half cups) in a small saucepan
dash of salt
boil (heat 6/10)
stir in 1/2 cup Quaker oats
bring to a boil (heat 4/10) (turn down heat if it's going to boil over)
skim the scum off
stir in 1/8 cup of dried fruit
turn off heat
cover for 3 1/2 minutes
eat w/ brown sugar on top

I like it this way because I don't like scummy, goopy, solid oatmeal. I like oatmeal with some texture. I put a heaping teaspoon of brown sugar on top, eat the top half, then put another teaspoon of brown sugar, and eat the rest.
