Irish Oatmeal

Rice cooker from the other night sitting in the dish rack. Still one of my favorite appliances. Makes perfect rice. Thanks again to my Chinese mother-in-law (does she become an ex when my husband becomes an ex?) for the useful gift. It's called a Comet Rice Cooker, perfect for someone named Halley.

Best kept secret. It makes great oatmeal. That thick nutty kind of Irish Oatmeal in a metal can.

I am finally meeting Dervala next week, so I should celebrate. Pull out the oatmeal, measure out a 1/2 cup, toss it in the rice cooker with the right amount of water. Flip the switch. It cooks, I keep cleaning my house.
