Quick Good Oatmeal

This oatmeal is a prepared a little differently..I saw this done one morning in Portland Oregon and realized it was a vast improvement from the glue one thinks of as rolled oats.

I like Bob's Red Mill extra thick rolled oats. I cook it in boiling slightly salted water..bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil. Add half a cup of oats..(traditional directions call for way too much water!).. and stir..cook quickly at first then lower heat..should be all done in 5 minutes. the oats are cooked through the when the water is absorbed but it does not become gluey..I like to add a few currents and a few sliced almonds a teaspoon of agave syrup and some hot skim milk.
