OT: oatmeal lovers. . .

I love hot cereal especially in the winter. Yesterday at Winco (a local grocery store that is also in other parts of Washington) I was browsing the bulk foods area. I came across a "5 grain cereal." It looked like oats but contained oats, barley, flax seed and I forget what the other two were. It takes a little longer to cook, but it's really good. Since I now have a nice large panty I've been using my mom's canning jars to stock up on some of these bulk items. I've also been taking oats, grinding them in my Magic Bullet so that I have oat flour on hand. I've been using it half and half in some of my baking like cookies and muffins.

Oh Karen....what a chuckle you have given me....a large PANTY....you keep your oatmeal in your panties???  Hahahaha... just kidding...I couldn't resist!!!

The oatmeal sounds yummy!!!

Love ya...hugs....connie d

Oops! Could have been much worse. I'm always putting both feet in my mouth. My former size 13 panties would have certainly held plenty of oatmeal. Just sew up the legs and voila! A new container!

Karen...thanks for being such a good sport about this!!

Size 13....yup those would have worked!!

Love ya....hugs....connie d

Connie - you and I are thinking alike... I sorta wanted to go from nice large panty to a much smaller one after WLS.....

LOL.... Thanks Karen for getting me laughing this morning

Girl, you're gonna make me laugh out loud and get caught on the 'puter!  The cereal does sound delicious even if you keep it in your panty.  I have not tried baking with oat flour except the knock-off Neiman Marcus cookie recipe.  I'll have to remember next time I bake from scratch.

The oats grind up easily in my Magic Bullet. Haven't used it for much else, but it's great for that. Glad I was the "butt"  this morning and gave you a giggle.

  Large panty.... you are so funny!

did it have a brand name??????????????????????/ the 5 grain i mean!

Nope, that's the thing about bulk foods. Just a large container and a product labeled "5 grain cereal."
