Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Chic hippie breakfast: Cold Oatmeal

If you even need breakfast other than a medium Dunkin (if Irish, a Guiness mixed with a raw egg), lots of people go for various cereals. 


Sure, tasty, but pure carbs. Might as well have a donut or two. 


Mrs. BD tells me that the ladies like a teacup of Cold Oatmeal for breakfast.   No cooking.

Sorry BD, the wife is calling BS.

Oatmeal gives your system needed fiber and ounce for ounce won't pack as many calories as donuts.

Like your wife, she eats the cold oatmeal. I think it's disgusting.

Couldn't do the cold oatmeal, although mine is sometimes cooled close to the finish. I add flax seed flour and chia seeds, because these are excellent water-soluble fiber sources, which is what is needed to pull out the lipids from the gut - the point for me having oatmeal, is to lower cholesterol. I also add fresh blueberries, raisins, grape nuts and some cinnamon - but no sugar.

It's not the same as eating a donut. Sugar and oats are two different types of carbs.

I like steel cut when I eat them.

I used to have a vegetarian girlfriend. She turned me onto cold oatmeal. I make a big pot and then put it in your refrigerator. For the next five or six days I start my breakfast with a bowl of cold oatmeal and sunflower seeds, raisins, coconut, walnuts, powdered milk and a chopped apple. Also a cup of iced coffee. I can make it in about 60 seconds. 35 years every morning.

For decades I have eaten uncooked oatmeal. Like Aggie, I have been known to add flax seeds or chia (ground up) to oatmeal. I weaken and usually add some sugar.

Old fashioned oats, chopped pecans and walnuts, zante currants, chia seed and flax seeds. Mix in covered dish, cover with lactose free milk, soak overnight in the refrigerator. Quick, filling, nutritious breakfast with a mug of black coffee the next morning. Not too sweet, holds off hunger until mid afternoon, slow and moderate blood sugar effect, good fiber. Doesn't take much of any of the ingredients.

I add a bowl of oatmeal to my protein shake 6 days a week. Need it for a physically demanding job and later work outs. Dr. says carbs for brain function.

I've never cared for oatmeal, but unlike almost everyone I know, I enjoy Cream of Wheat. Hot, please. I do like cold commercial cereal with milk.
