OMG I love hot farina

Just polished off a bowl made with some dried cranberries, vanilla, milk, butter and sugar.

I love love love this stuff. You keep your slimy oatmeal. Farina for me.

1. I like Co-Co Wheats
 
and steel cut oats, right now I'm eating some Bob's Red Mill Seven Grain Hot Cereal. I love hot cereals! I like a dollop of honey and cream on top. Some fruit if I have it. Butter and sugar is also good. I could eat hot cereal for every meal.

8. It's really good!
 
And it's got flaxseed, that's supposed to be good for something, I think.
Sometimes I end up skipping lunch because the cereal is so filling. I eat breakfast late because all I want is coffee first thing in the morning. So my meals are coffee, hot cereal, dinner.

9. I was afraid to say
 
...but I skip lunch too when I eat hot cereal in the morning. For most of my adult life I skipped breakfast and lunch, especially breakfast, except for coffee - which I drink all hours. Terrible, I know.

25. I love Bob's 8-Grain cereal.
 
And, the 10-Grain. Yum! Can't find either around here any more. I like to eat them like grits, with a pat of butter and a little bit of salt, rather than with sugar and cream. Butter and a little bit of brown sugar is good for old-fashioned oatmeal that hasn't been cooked to death. Bob's Red Mill makes great oatmeal. It hasn't been rolled so much that it won't hold its shape during cooking.

5. That's how I feel about buckwheat groats...
 
YUMMMMMM... a recent addiction for me.

And the nutrition numbers are great - 1/4 cup dry has 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein.
 

Buckwheat?  Isn't that a dog whistle?

That was my childhood fave. Wonder if they even make it anymore...

I crave it every once in a while. Malted milk balls too! Love malt.

I can't eat it anymore because of the carbs, but I think about it now and then. Mmm.

I like Dinty Moore beef stew.

I use a wooden spoon to mush it up into a paste.

Sounds delicious. Need to try it.

When I lived in Tucson, many years ago, AC was extremely rare, but every home had a swamp cooler (Evaporative cooling through a roof-mounted unit, cube-shaped and about 2.5 feet on a side).  It's a cooling technique limited to extremely-low-humidity areas, but it was far and away the dominant method used there, probably considered old-fashioned now but I haven't stayed in touch with anyone there over the years.  Something in the reviews that were quoted about Amber's digs made me think it had evaporative cooling rather than AC.

When I was in basic (San Antonio) we were put in air conditioned halls. Everybody got sick, and I mean everybody.

Later we were moved to what was called mob dorms, I don't recall what that stands for, but anyway, they were not air conditioned and everybody got well.

I like Dinty Moore beef stew too.  When I was a kid, I could eat it cold--right out of the can, congealed globs of fat and all.  I haven't had it in years, but I just bought a can of it for this weekend.

Dinty Moore is definitely on my list of must-haves for the pantry.  I don't eat it often, but I like it.
