Yucch! Instant Oatmeal–in any form–is pig fodder. Cooking real oatmeal
takes five minutes (you have to boil the water) instead of one. The real oatmeal
is infinitely better than the instant crap. Treat yourself to the best.

DIY site Instructables has a simple tutorial on making cheaper, tastier,
healthier instant-oatmeal servings than the ones that come in those paper
packets.In a nutshell, you mix a handful of ingredients (starting with bulk instant
oatmeal) in a plastic container or zip-lock bag, shake everything up and go on
your merry way. When you’re ready to eat, add hot water and wait a minute.You may want to experiment with the ingredients a bit (I recommend dried
cherries), but otherwise this is a smart and easy alternative to sugar-filled,
prepackaged instant oatmeal. ó Rick Broida
