When I do this, I use oats and my own flavors (cinnamon, brown sugar, whatever). I mix the dry ingredients together, then add enough milk to just cover everything. I do this in a deep bowl, then heat the whole thing until the oats are soft. I never have it spill, unless I forget and use a smaller

I don't remember what the directions were, but I usually divide the time into thirds and stir. If the oatmeal is quite warm after the second stir, cut down the time for the last cooking. Also, it is helpful to use a taller bowl. Carol On 12/6/2011 2:15 PM, Allison Fallin wrote: Hello,

I'd think Couscous with redcurrants in it would be great. (Don't have a recipe, but I bet there are some on the web) Tabouleh or hummus also might be nice with it, as would Baba Ganouj. Dolmas might also be nice -- any Mediterranean or Greek dish might go well with it. -Original Message-
