Several years ago, I went on an extended steel cut oatmeal kick. I would make a biggish pot of the stuff on Sunday nights. When it was ready, I'd divide it between five glass bowls that had plastic lids that I'd bought specifically for the purpose. After they cooled down, I'd would stack them in the fridge. Each morning I'd pull one out, add a little milk and take it to work with me for eventual nuking. I'd also bring a small baggie that contained toasted slivered almonds and a few raisins. I did this every weekday for more than a year. Eventually I tired of the practice (although thinking about it now is making me hungry).
Over at Everybody Loves Sandwiches, Kickpleat has written about a different way to reheat the leftover oatmeal besides sticking it in the microwave. She pan-fried the slab of cold oatmeal in a little butter. Topped with yogurt and maple syrup, it looks like a delicious breakfast treat and makes me start to think seriously about restarting my old oatmeal habit, just so I can heat it up this way.
