After I got choppers, I came to prefer hot oat bran cereal and it's very fast to cook. Just having coffee +cream & sugar for now to get woke up......

Cold snap here is making my son and I hunker down and stay in. Busy day yesterday with laundry and other chores so I'm still tired.

Irish oatmeal is made differently than regular oatmeal. Instead of the groats being rolled, Irish oatmeal's kernels undergo a steel-cut process. Using giant steel blades, the oats are cut into small pieces that, rather than being flattened, retain their shape, albeit smaller. Irish oatmeal (also known as coarse cut and pinhead) is less processed than the rolled variety.


There's more than you probably need to know here:

Enjoy your week, KY!

If I recall correctly from trying it years ago, it is easier to chew (with lousy dentures) than regular rolled oats.

Will give them another try and you have a peaceful week, too!......

So does Shaw, one of my cats, who calmly walked up to the first time plate and tried to walk away with both.
I keep a better watch now. ☺️😽
