I read somewhere that you can load up a jar with water and old fashioned oats, and whatever flavors you want.

Put the lid on the jar, refrigerate overnight, and it will be ready to eat in the morning. Plus it's in a jar and portable.

I've been meaning to try this.

Has anyone used this method?

yeah i think it's called summer porridge. this is a good site with some recipes. try it with chia seeds. it adds some nice texture.

there's also the alton brown slow cooker recipe, which tastes really good.

i usually just use regular oats and toss them in the microwave for a bit. add a scoop of whey and frozen blueberries.

For some reason I usually prefer my steel cut oats savory. So a little salt and butter spray.

You sound like an absolute pleasure to be around.

If he was as truly alpha as he pretends online to be, he'd not have to make his pancakes himself.

The reality though is his mother probably doesn't allow him in their kitchen anyway.

Are you saying male chefs can't be alpha? I make pancakes for my daughter. My real daughter. Not somebody else's daughter.

Nice attack, however; how can you be sure she's your real daughter?
Did you mean "nice attack" as in you recognize its quality or "nice attack" as in you think I attacked you first? Maybe she is your daughter, want to start sending child support?

WTF? You can dish it but can't take it. Crybaby alpha.

Might not want to throw barbs around about paternity of a child. Your fiancee (who was married to another man and up and moved in with you and still isn't divorced yet) decides haphazzardly to let you dribble in her...might want to give some thought that someone other than you has been spelunking in that cave and left something behind?

Where was it that I couldn't take it?

I was replying because in fact I doubt he has had a DNA test done (although I am sure he will say he has now).

Us having a baby was hardly 'haphazardly', it's clear it really pisses you off though.

Nope, no DNA needed. Put her baby pics next to mine and you'd think we were twins. Second daughter will be here within the next two weeks.

cuckolding has been a long time past time for married women, they usually choose men that are similar and have similar features and traits.

In all honesty, you can't be sure.

However; I will have a paternity test so there will be no doubts due to the divorce making that a requirement.

The proper response would have been "I feel bad your daughter got your ugly looks." This is why I give you a hard time so much. You aren't smart enough to see the low hanging fruit. Seriously, step up your game.

All of life is a game, friend.

This is where you don't realize I know this.

Whatever life you think you lived, I can guarantee mine has had more drama and things unexpected that that.

From having a call from an ex that another ex found someone with my same name at a company I worked for but had quit having her 'boyfriend/gangster' getting SWAT and helicopters at my old office.

I have also been in a lot of fights that didn't happen in a playground in my clubbing days.

That said I also studied a ton and had 2-3 jobs along the way.

I think you believe I am some gamer just trolling, I am being totally honest here.

No I think you just take this place way to seriously, always trying to prove this or that. Nobody cares about all that shit or what creds you may have. What's the point of dumping every little detail of your life on here when nobody is going to believe you anyway?

You don't understand because you joined in 2009.

I just like to talk, sorry if you don't believe it.

If you think this is all fake, then you are the retard that keeps coming back.

That took a strange turn.

Steel cut oats cooked in a rice cooker for me. Just put the oats and water in the cooker the night before with the timer set. Wake up to breakfast hot and ready.
