Hi guys:)
I decided to buy some of those delicious McCanns steel cut oats 
instead of the old rolled, instant kind...
I had a vague memory of how good real oatmeal is from back in the 
days of going to sleepaway camp and various travelling/wilderness 
experiences....There is no comparison. Yummy yum yummy! It's a 
horse of a different color, flavor and texture....It is well worth 
the initial prep time of 30-40 mins cooking time, as you can reheat 
the leftovers if you make extra by just adding some more milk and 
mushing it up over a low flame...A little butter, salt and 
sugar...Today I reheated some from yesterdays breakfast and added a 
teaspoon of applebutter, and some cinnamon to vary the taste :)
The oats texture are really what make the difference, kindof like 
popping teeny little grapes in your mouth...Pop more than, crunch...
Also, instant oats is really stripped down to the least healthy part 
of the grain...
Go for the whole oat! You won't be disappointed :)
Peace,
Deb
