McDonald's has oatmeal? Why in the name of all that's holy would someone go to a fast food place for oatmeal? Mmm, love the steel cut kind with brown sugar and whole milk.

When I went to Bostonin late December, I grabbed McD's oatmeal and it was so disgusting!!!!! I'm afraid to click on the link and find out why!
I couldn't resist, I clicked, I read, I regret!

The most insidious thing is that places like McD warp our taste buds — particularly kids — so that they "prefer" the gunk over actual food.

How sad that McD's needs to add so many things to their food. It makes the 'treat' of eating out scary instead of fun.

Oh Wow! That is amazing and rolls my stomach.

Gross, but not surprising!

That makes me sad. Also now I'm wondering if I should check what my kids' favorite maple and brown sugar oatmeal has in it. I don't want to check, I think. Although I have been considering just making it from scratch…

Urgh!

I just bought steel cut oats the other day and I'm now feeling the need to cook up some proper oatmeal!

Love them. I was surprised how different they are from regular rolled oats. I have to switch off because I love them both. (and rolled oats are way cheaper and faster to cook)

I heard about the oatmeal being a total joke, but hadn't read about it til now. And yep, it's a joke alright. Sigh.

Mark Bittman is one of my foodie heroes! He tells it like it is. I LOVE that he e-mailed McDonalds to ask them WHY?!
Muum

also going to try the steel cut oats. my daughter says they are delish.

Welcome to Old School!

The Damsel in Dis Dress is your teacher for today. Her qualifications are that she is "old." Old School is where you get to learn about some old skills and other thingies that Grandma used to know like the back of her age-spotted hand.
Why would you want to learn old stuff? Two reasons. 1. Last time the Damsel checked, the economy was still tanking. Some things you'll learn in Old School will help save money. 2. Other things will help you be more self-reliant. You'll learn how to do things that Grandma used to do all the time, but people have forgotten. But why, Damsel? Why? Because the day may come that we'll need those skills, and it's part of being prepared. Plus, the Damsel thinks it's nice to keep those skills from being lost.
