Not Too Hot. Not Too Cold. Just Right...

For as long as I can remember I've always liked oatmeal.  A single-serve packet of flavored instant oatmeal is a camper's best friend.  Of course there are oatmeal cookies.  And oatmeal bars.  Finally, my favorite baked oatmeal.  But on a daily basis a bowl of steaming oatmeal or porridge.  Before the COVID shit show we vacationed in Ireland and lo and behold I fell in love with the best oatmeal on the planet.  Made from Irish porridge oats.  My oatmeal world was changed forever.

With the weather growing colder and the days shorter I recently restocked the pantry with an order fulfilled by my chosen importer of delicious Irish foodstuffs.  A case of porridge oats and three kinds of jams - gooseberry, black currant and fig.  If you're gonna eat this stuff anyway, I figured it best to stock-up before you-know-who slaps a tariff on these items to protect the critical US gooseberry, black currant and fig preserves sector of the economy. 

Today I rose to a sunny and clear 28F morning and after the coffee was ready I fixed myself a bowl of Irish porridge oats - with locally sourced dried cherries.

Not too hot, not too cold but just right...

Great way to start your day.....
