Ending and Beginning

DW bought me some steel-cut oats (also known as pinhead or Irish oats).

I cooked them for 5 minutes the night before I wanted to eat them, then put the pot into a cardboard box and wrapped it in one of my boy’s sleeping bags. When I opened it up the next morning, it was completely cooked, but cold. I still had to warm it up before I ate it.

I like eating less-refined food, and I think it’s better for you. With the hay box, I can spend little more time and energy than the more-refined product with the use of my informal hay box.

Of course, I’d like to make a more convenient hay box that I can just fit the pot into and throw a blanket over the top of it, probably out of styrofoam.
