Oatmeal of the Gods Recipe

A   L   O   H   A  !

"Take care of the luxuries

 and the necessities

 will take care of

 themselves."

     

 Dorothy Parker

" Some people think

 luxury 

is the opposite of

 poverty.

 It is not.

 It is the opposite of 

vulgarity. "

Coco Chanel 

"The only real elegance

 is in the mind;

 if you’ve got that,

 the rest really comes from it."

Diana Vreeland

Oatmeal

is synonymous 

with 'bland'

But Not

O A T M E A L

of the 

g O D S.

I eat this

most every morning

and will not here describe

the health benefits

of these ingredients,

but I will say

we prefer organic

for several reasons.

OOTg Recipe`

OOTg varies

depending on what

nuts & seeds I have;

BUT certain things

make it OOTg:

Curry Powder

lots of it, at least a Tsp.

Fresh Ground Pepper

to taste,

Cinnamon - lots,

Raisins - lots,

Raw Pumpkin Seeds-

generous dash,

Flax seed - tablespoon or lots more,

Psyllium - dash (shhh)

To these ingredients

I add a few (of each)

Almonds,

Walnuts,

Pecans,

Cashews 

(or others

 whatever available)

 Raw.

I add all the above

to 1 serving of

 Whole Grain Oatmeal

of my choice;

[ I like

Coaches Toasted Oats ]

then prepare the 'slurry'

per oat meal instructions:

generally 1/2 cup

oatmeal

(minus other ingredients)

to 1 cup water,

add dry oatmeal

and water to

 other ingredients

in a saucepan;

bring to simmer,

I like to add a dash
of Sriracha, and/or
grated garlic 
 to the 
cooking OOTg
while it simmers.

Simmer,

 occasionally stirring,

to your desired consistency

(I enjoy it pretty solid)

cover, remove from heat,

let stand 1 minute.

Plop into a bowl

occupied by a peeled

banana.

Optional:

Dust with Chocolate Chips,

or Nutritious Yeast,

or Currants,

or What Have You.

YUMMY!

NOT Boring!

Healthy!

Wow, it's difficult

to write a simple

unambiguous recipe!

Hope you try OOTg

and enjoy it.

Bon Appetite

Because of Tough

" If you've been up

 all night 

and cried 

till you have

 no more tears

 left in you - 

you will know

 that there comes

 in the end

 a sort of quietness. 

 You feel as if 

nothing is ever

 going to happen

 again. ”

 C.S. Lewis,

" Brave men are all vertebrates;

 they have their softness

 on the surface

 and their 

toughness

 in the middle. "

 a great deal in life, 
each additional pain 
is both 

unbearable
 and trifling. ” 

Yann Martel

Ready  for  Sleep

" Life 

is a process

 of becoming,

 a combination

 of states 

we have to go through.

Where people fail

 is that they wish 

to elect a state 

and remain in it.

This is a kind of death. "

Daughter Water

" - our jealousy, 

anger, hatred, fear - 

can be put to an end.  

When you realize 

that these emotions

 are only temporary,

 that they always pass on

 like clouds in the sky, 

you also realize

 they can ultimately be 

abandoned.  "

Tenzin Gyatso

" I am the daughter

 of Earth and Water,

" And the nursling of the Sky;

" I pass through the pores 

" of the ocean 

"  and shores;

" I change,

 but I cannot die...."
