Steel Cut Oats recipe by Reykjaviky

I have read so many recipes that say you have to soak steel cuts over night or have to boil them for 20-45 minutes. That's great if you want the same ol' mushy, bland oats. To taste oats like you never tasted them before, try this way. This "cooking" method truly keeps the oats chewy, yummy and nutty tasting. This ain't ya granny's or ya mamma's oatmeal! Not only very delicious, it ALSO keeps you feeling full for hours. I have lost weight eating this for breakfast and my cholesterol/triglyceride levels have dropped to better than normal:

1.) Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil
2.) Dump enough (organic) steel cut oats in to where there is about 1 1/2 inches of water above them.
3.) IMMEDIATELY REMOVE them off the stove
4.) Salt to taste
5.) Set aside for about 10 min. or more, whatever you choose
6.) You can add any organic fruit, ground organic flax seed, organic walnuts, whatever...

***If there is still too much water, just drain it. If there isn't enough, add more...it's just oats, NOT as precise as a rice recipe!***

Let the rest cool, store in any container you wish in the fridge. It's great hot or cold. (*if you add a touch of salt and organic extra virgin olive oil INSTEAD of butter and sugar and butter, you have your very own inexpensive recipe for a heart healthy breakfast that will keep you full for hours!)

BP lies again and again

I am so sick of BP lying over and over. I am sick of the administration sitting on their hands waiting for BP to do something. BP doesn't give a flying F*** about anything but saving money and making money, PERIOD. That has been blatently obvious for decades and now the earth and all it's inhabitants are paying for it.

This is our planets FOOD CHAIN for God's sake. This is more important than any war, more important than any politics. Once we lose our food chain...which by the way WE ARE PART OF...duh!!!...it's over folks.

Every millionaire, billionaire, environmentalist, average person just trying to make a living and survive should be raising hell. F*** Dancing with the Stars, Top Model, The Kardashians, Entertainment Tonight, Shrek, Toy Story, and all that other celebrity mind numbing bull crap.

This is our planet, this is our survival. This is it!!! I don't care if you live in a huge mansion, an apartment, a trailer park or under a bridge, this is going to affect ALL of US very soon and FOREVER. We all need to be emailing, calling, writing our government and DEMAND they get on top of this 24/7 NOW!!! Stop waiting for BP to do something, they're greedy idiots.

Sorry, just very sad and upset that I am witnessing the world ending because of a stupid, completely preventable off shore oil drill catastrophe. I always thought it would be nuclear war or something like that.
