Curious---do you have the real oatmeal (aka steel cut, Irish stuff) in France? It's the only oatmeal I will use. Lovely.

We have two kinds...the bonafide Quaker Oats (but not in a round box), and the cheaper version from the cheap Leader Price store. I've never seen a steelcut oat, so I'm not sure what it liiks or feels like...but the cheaper stuff takes longer to cook (I sometimes wonder if I should soak it first) and has more 'chew' to it.

I have to take back my comment---I do use the regular Quaker oats sometimes, especially to make cookies. And my grandkids like those packets of flavored instant oatmeal. Too mushy for me but they love it!
The steel-cut oats cook up almost like tiny barley nuggets. Chewy and nutty. They take about 45 minutes to cook but you can make a big batch and reheat leftovers in the microwave. I like the McCann's brand.

I have a huge bag of whole oats, hulls and all, from the feedstore...I wonder if I could cook those?

Chicken salad sandwiches and a bottle of Diet Coke Lime.

Sugar-free, chocolate, breakfast "brownie" with a sprinkling of grain-sweetened carob chips as the filling. Adding the chips was an experiment as I didn't have my usual filling of cream cheese and fresh strawberries. While the former was really good, I prefer the latter.

Oh...and a cup of decaf green tea!

Coffee and sauerkraut. There was some kraut leftover in the can from making the pizza.

toast and coffee.

susie: how was that pizza? sounded interesting. but, i don't know about sauerkraut for BREAKFAST, for me anyway. my stomach couldn't handle it. i do love that stuff, but rarely eat it anymore. so good on hot dogs (don't eat those anymore either) with chili, cheese and jalapenos.

Re: What's for Breakfast - Chapter 2

Sauerkraut pizza is surprisingly good. Kraut goes well with tomatoes and cheese, you can't really tell what it is, and it adds moisture to the pizza. Try it for just one time, and you'll see.

I got the idea from long ago, maybe thirty years ago, in a Family Circle or Woman's Day magazine ad for sauerkraut...there was even a recipe for sauerkraut chocolate cake by the same company (haven't tried that, but I imagine the recipe could be found on the Internet).

I have a Polish friend over here, Katie, that does wonderful things with kraut...she fries it in oil and onions, or makes a stew with mushrooms and tomatoes, a soup with kasha, pig tails, and carrots, turns it into a salad with sugar and grated carrots, cooks it with bayleaf, tomato, and salmon....

I gotta say that it wasn't all that hot with coffee for breakfast. I was just greedy and when I saw the leftovers in the can, sitting there on the countertop, I greedily ate it.

This morning I am being more reasonable and having café au lait and toast from homemade wholewheat and oatmeal bread.
