Oatmeal Supreme indeed. I’m pretty impressed with your use of butter, peanut butter and walnuts. You’re a champion.

hi trent,
first off, love your site! the design / layout / content / and division of article and notes is awesome! also, i love oatmeal as well. well, i would make my homemade breakfast tacos or scramble everyday if it wouldn’t make my heart explode. but, since i want to live past 30, i usually eat oatmeal a few times a week at least. I started experimenting a little a few years back, and i wonder if you have tried these variations methods:

1. i’ve found that pouring boiling water over the oats and avoiding the microwave produces a much more desirable texture to both the oats and the additional add-ons.

2. the add-ons. i like oatmeal, but not by itself. as a kid i would usually just add brown sugar and butter. but i’ve become more adventurous as of late. here is my favorite recipe right now:

1 bowl of oats
1 tbsp of butter. pure organic glorious butter.
1 (or 2) tbsp of peanut butter
1/2 of a chopped up banana
handful of walnuts
some raisins if i have them

i called it…. oatmeal supreme! it’s great with a cup of coffee! hope you can try it one day! enjoi!

James, thanks. I’ve definitely been known to sneak a little honey in my oats from time to time. Not a bad idea.

I had not had oatmeal (or porridge as it was called in my youth) for many a year until I read this blog and I thought maybe it was time for me to reconnect.

I have been eating it every weekday for the last week and a half and want to thank you for re-introducing it to my life.

Personally I think Honey and Cinnamon is the way to go, but to each their own.

Also, congrats for getting into .net this month and Paravel too.

Love the page design.

However, the Scottish (famous for their love of porridge) way with Oats is with water, no milk, and a little salt. At least that what my wife tells me!

That’s too hardcore for me. I like it your way

I’m a lover of oatmeal as well. On this week’s agenda is a new recipe I’m trying for Maple Syrup Oatmeal Scones. Wish me luck.

Thanks, Matt. The texture came from a piece of an illustration I grabbed from YWFT a few years ago. I couldn't find the exact one, but they've got lots of good stuff.

This is such a lovely page design Trent! Love the background texture, did you create it or did you find it somewhere?

Some beautiful typography. I really like your individual comment reply’s too.

Great work!
