It's a wintry day in New England, and thoughts turn to comfort food, fireplaces, and good snow tires. Marian Burros of The New York Times extols the virtues of oatmeal. I'm a fan of McCann's Steel Cut Irish, but some of the others on her Taster's Guide (Bob's Red Mill, Country Choice) sound pretty good.
I've been jonesing for a nice bowl of Irish oatmeal with buttermilk and brown sugar. I like golden raisins cooked in; Chris doesn't. (We usually alternate.) We tried Alton Brown's Overnight Oatmeal recipe, but didn't have half-and-half. As a result (I think), it didn't come out very well. So, we'll have to try it out again with all of the proper ingredients and see how it goes. I'd also like to try Alton's recipe for steel cut oatmeal. Cold cereal fans can go visit talljay.
