Daniel's Oatmeal Recipe

Most mornings Daniel wants to have oatmeal for breakfast.  Here is his oatmeal recipe for anyone who wants to follow at home:

1. Grab one packet of maple syrup oatmeal and a bucket of quick oatmeal

2. Heat a little bit of water in the microwave for 15 seconds.  While it is cooking say "Oh no, I pushed the popcorn button.  It will be too hot."

3. Put the oatmeal packet in the water and just barely stir it so most of the oats are still dry

4. Open bucket of oats and put in two handfuls, spilling a decent portion on the counter

5. Stir just a little bit again, continuing to leave some oats dry

6. Taste a small spooful of partially wet and partially dry oatmeal.  Pause for effect and say "Hmm.  Not good.  I forgot to push the 'yummy' button"

7. Put the oatmeal back in the microwave for about 5 seconds

8. Take it out and really stir it so all oats get wet

9. Taste again and say "MMmmmm.  Really good."

10. Eat all the oatmeal
