Should I do this?

Anonymous 1d

I’ve had the same thought (ASD and ADHD couple household) but the question is: do you have the proper space for it, then do you have somewhere to apply the compost or friends who’d use it in a garden?

I agree with 1 but ALSO here’s some oatmeal advice+my recipe: I HIGHLY recommend making it in a pot on the stove instead of the microwave. By using the stove, you have much better control over what’s happening so there’s a little more flexibility. I also personally use milk instead of water, makes it a bit creamier and more flavorful. My favorite oatmeal has cinnamon, nutmeg, small, thin apple slices, dried black currants (or raisins if you don’t have access to dried black currants), and-

-chopped pecans. OH, also blackstrap molasses dissolved into the milk. Here’s how I do it: Fill about a quarter of a small pot with milk, turn the heat on high, add molasses on a spoon (take a tablespoon, dip it in, let some drip off the spoon once it’s just a bit more than thinly coated, and stick it in the milk), and let it heat up, stir occasionally with the molasses spoon. Once the molasses is fully dissolved, take it out and wait for the milk to start simmering, at which point immediately-

Once all ingredients are added, put a lid on the pot and check back on it every few minutes, stirring each time. Once it’s at the desired-

-consistency, you’re done! Also, if at any point it gets too thick, just add more milk and turn the heat back on if you turn it off until it starts simmering again. Also also, if you have extra by the end of it, pour enough milk in it to get it almost to how soupy it was while cooking it, put the lid on it, and leave it while you eat. Afterwards, put it in a Tupperware container in the fridge and by the time you eat it next, it’ll still be the perfect consistency and won’t get overly thick-
