Hey, the New York Times says that we are cool! We rarely, if ever, get into the hip crowd, so we will take it when we get it. How do we rate such an achievement? We eat oatmeal, almost every morning. Even better than just eating oatmeal, we favor the steel-cut option and the old-fashioned, rolled variety. These two came in first and second in the taste testing, with all those quick and instant varieties getting labeled, "Acceptable" or "Oatmeal gone awry."
We, of course, eat our oatmeal for fiscal and nutritional reasons. When one compares the cost of a 50-lb sack of oatmeal ($28.76) to the box of cold cereal from Trader Joe's (between $2.00 and $4.00 a box), you just can't beat it. Think of the books, the trips, the music that can be purchased with the savings! Just one way that we have done the one-income life.
But, now we are cool. Who would've guessed.
