Chocolate oatmeal
Nov. 13th, 2010 10:32 amI can't decide if this was the best idea (because it was delicious) or the worst idea (because it probably had like nine thousand calories).
Recipe: You've got a big block of fine chocolate in your pantry, right? The kind you buy by the pound. Well, chip about a quarter cup of shavings from that thing, and put them in a bowl. Prepare oatmeal as normal (1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, dash of salt, sugar and cinnamon to taste, simmer until sufficiently gloopy), then pour the oatmeal over the chocolate in the bowl. Stir until chocolate is evenly distributed. Decadently serves one.
Note: I only did this because we're low on groceries and the only even vaguely breakfastey food left in the house was oatmeal, and I had the chocolate pre-chipped in the fridge from about a week ago (when I intended to make ice cream with it). This was an improvisation, not a purposeful attempt to give myself heart disease
