I cook up a big pot of McCann's steel cut Irish Oatmeal with water, chopped almonds or walnuts,dried blueberries or cranberrys and then keep it in the fridge. Take out a hunk cold, microwave it, add about 1/2 c milk and I'm good to go. If I'm feeling really decadent or doing more than 50 miles I add a tbl. of nutella (hazelnut paste and chocolate yumm..) and party down.

I have always added milk to my cereal, be it oatmeal or something else so I guess, especially with oatmeal that puts me in the "out" group. Maybe TE needs to do a survey.
