Steel Cut Oatmeal

source

Have you ever tried Steel Cut Oatmeal? Does the name constitute how the texture is supposed to be? How it should taste? Maybe like steel? Well here's a great LOL story for you. This is my own version of the story. I was not present for breakfast. I just LOLed for 10 mins after hearing the story on the way to church. It's funnier if you hear it in person and if you know HY. But I had to share this story anyway.

Lisette came to visit this past weekend. She crashed at Hye Young's all weekend. For breakfast Hye young made Lisette her usual breakfast, steel cut oatmeal while Lisette was getting ready. Hye young proceeds to pour her oats into a bowl, boil her water, pour her water into the bowl, give a quick stir, and served it to Lisette.

HY: Here Lisette. It's not that good, kind of hard, but it's healthy.
Lis: (taking one bite and spitting it out) BLAH. What is this?
HY: I just put fruit in it to cover the hard texture and taste. and i've tried many different brands to see what was best.
Lis: What? How did you cook this?
HY: Like I alwasy do, add some hot water.
Lis: What? Let me see the box
HY: In the cabinet
Lis: (getting the box from the cabinet) OH MY GOSH HYE YOUNG! You're supposed to cook it for THIRTY MINUTES on the stove or TEN minutes in the microwave!
HY: WHAT? I've been eating it like this ALL YEAR

HY's final revelation for this sunday morning: "This new way to cook oatmeal has CHANGED MY LIFE!"

My comments: So WHO cooks oatmeal with just a pouring of hot water? You have to microwave even instant oatmeal! Leave it to HY to think rock hard oatmeal is a real food and continue to eat it day in and day out because it is healthy.
