Revenge of the pinhead oats

As I have a long drive ahead of me today, to Raleigh, I figured I needed to make sure I had a nice breakfast before I headed out. Of late, owing to my terrifying travel schedule, I’ve allowed breakfast to fall apart. I know that it’s the “most important” meal of the day, but I just haven’t had time to cook anything of substance.

Today, the substance was pinhead oats, or steel-cut oats, or whatever you want to call them. To paraphrase Alton Brown, there’s a reason we feed horses rolled oats, and you shouldn’t eat them as oatmeal. Anyway, this morning’s combination was simply oats and milk with a pinch of salt, and then I sliced up my remaining Turkish figs and added some Demerara sugar) on top. Yum.

Easy and satisfying.
