I'm such a failure!!
I come in to work and I always make some breakfast. Lately I've been microwaving a mug of oatmeal! So I got a new kind from the store this weekend, and I follow the directions.. and I go to take it out of the microwave and like 2/3s of it is boiled over and all over the microwave plate! So I get it out, wash it off and try again. This time I put it in 30 seconds shorter. Luckily this time I remembered to keep an eye on it, and when I check on it it had JUST started overflowing. AGAIN. WTF? Stupid oatmeal. At least I haven't set off any smoke detectors lately.
Re: I'm such a failure!!
You should try vegan overnight oats. No microwaving necessary. takes five minutes.
I have a Green Monster for breakfast (spinach and kale this morning). Also takes five minutes and is portable
I love oatmeal. It's cheap, filling, discourages tummy fat, promotes heart health, and has 150 calories.
It's probably the best lifestyle choice I make all day... It's all downhill after breakfast! LOL
Yeah, but it tastes like moist cardboard.
I"m going to have to agree. YUCK!
okay, my next suggestion is to use your office kettle (or bring one), but there's probably someone there who drinks tea, and pour the boiled water into your bowl after you put your packet of oatmeal in.
Good for you if you are eating oatmeal, but those packets of oatmeal don't fill me up unless I eat two!
You can buy plug-in kettles!
You don't have those in your office?
It does. It's true. I doctor mine with Splenda, cinnamon and/or nutmeg, and raisins. It helps.
Electric kettles are like $15 at Walmart and are fantastic.
Yes. Also called Electric Kettles. I was trying to think if there was an American word for "kettle" lol....
damn Hayley, you do suck. hahaha JK
I agree with the electric kettle! Worth it!
I love the little packets with fruit and cream!!!
Matt cooks ramen noodles in hot water. We drink massive amounts of tea in winter, too. Hot chocolate?
I had one in college. I loved it!! I also used it for Ramen noodles. And Easy Mac. You can also use it for instant coffee.
You guys are all crazy, oatmeal is delish! Mmmm
Who likes porridge? *raises hand*
Is porridge REAL? I thought it was just a made-up word for oatmeal in Goldilocks and the 3 Bears!!
AGREED! What is porridge?
Is it another Canadian thing? Were Goldilocks and her 3 furry companions Canadian??
Update: I'm a moron. Porridge is wheat. The box is CLEARLY labelled in HUGE letters, cream of wheat. So oatmeal is oats, porridge is wheat. There ya go, lesson for the day has been learned.
Porridge tastes really good with cinnamon, sugar and just a splash from a bag of homo milk
I'm dying....
Me, too. "Homo milk" will never cease to make me giggle.
Ok when I was in London we went to Pret and had porridge for breakfast... and it was oatmeal. I was SUPER confused bc I was pretty sure that porridge was cream of wheat... Ugh. But the Starbucks in London also sells oatmeal as "Porridge" SOOOO maybe its different in England than in Canada??? Who knows.
Has anyone tried Swiss Style Oatmeal??? It's cold and made with Yogurt! It's AUH-MAZING! You can make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge and it's ready when you get up! I like to put apples, dried cranberries and almonds in mine!
LOL on Saturday I was a little drunk telling someone OH MY GOD DID YOU KNOW IN CANADA MILK COMES IN A BAG?!!? AND THEY CALL IT HOMO MILK!!!
how the crap do you pour milk out of a freaking bag?
