Given my bad eating habits (yes, I can finish an entire party-size bag of Cheetos by myself, and yes, it is disgusting, and yes, I am trying to wean myself of this habit by not buying Cheetos), I am trying to be a little healthier and health-conscious by eating oatmeal, which, unfortunately I find to be rather disgusting. I can't stand the sludgey consistency and the slimy grey goo that oozes around my bowl. I originally had been ding-ing it in the microwave (even though they are not instant oats), but it kept exploding all over the inside of the microwave.
I've just been putting hot water into the bowl of oats and eating it that way. Uck.
I've heard oatmeal tastes better with dried fruit or with brown sugar, but given that I don't really enjoy either of those options on their own, it's unlikely they'll improve upon the oatmeal. (Tried with dried cranberries just in case. No go. With frozen strawberries? Same.)
Thankfully, I have honey-sweet Bartlett pears and crisp Fuyu persimmons to take the bad oatmeal experience away.
