Oatmeal was kind of a mushy mess. It made me feel as if I were a farm animal ready to feed in the troff. Paste of oats with raisins and brown sugar used to be the standard. Until I was offered some steel cut, down in Arizona a couple years ago. This was a memorable breakfast, for I also learned that eggs and rice could be a reasonable staple in tough times.
The Steel Cut have texture, meusagelatenous, dang I hope I spelled that one right, and above all, they actually look like oats. The whole food version of rolled out instant meal is satisfying with its buttery flavor. Just a pinch of sea salt brings out the butter, so you don't really need any other acoutraments.
People walk by as I eat my steel cut oats and to their surprise I haven't added sugar, fruit or some other taste enhancer. I just like the real thing, cut a few times and boiled for twenty minutes. I never measure the water, and when it boils I throw a couple handfuls of oats in there and let it do its thing. Since I am a firey person, red hair and all, I need the oaty goodness to calm my inflamed body and balance my hormones. It's nice for a BM as well. So take it easy on yourself and get the full effect of the steel cut.

- Well, I feel that creativity will find the cure. But first we must find the cause, that holds the not the effect, so dear to it, as it does the solution. To deal with problems of our present circumstances, the focus should be based on a survival of the truth-wherever we can find it. The negative outlook will only lead to more negative results. There is a need for the type of change that only happens when we look to the answers that are all around us, as the first step and means to our survival. Dwelling on mistakes of the past, will only see that we repeat them. We are here to create the new, and through that, we will see what was once thought of as the old. Harmony on Earth is and has always been here. Human kind has lost their collective intention and relation to one another. It is our choice to see the desired moment in time and manifest that piece--to bring about peace.
