My goal for the day...

...was to make oatmeal look good in pictures. It is now impossible for me to tell whether or not I succeeded. However, this is best TASTING oatmeal ever, so I will share:

- steel cut oats cooked in salted water
- dried montmorency cherries (or other tart cherries)
- maple syrup
- chopped toasted pecans
- butter
- evaporated milk

Cook the oatmeal according to directions, adding some salt to the water. Add the cherries about ten minutes before the oatmeal is done cooking. Serve your oatmeal, and doctor it up with the remaining goodies listed.
