Oatmeal Project 2024

Way back in June, I had this realization of “Turns out, when you buy jumbo things of oatmeal every time it’s on clearance, on the theory that it’s a great versatile base you can make a lot of meals with…you just end up with a cupboard of uneaten oatmeal.”

So I bought a bunch of toppings, and started eating 1 variant Bowl Of Oatmeal per day. (I kept track of the variations on Mastodon, I’ll put the whole list under the cut.) Didn’t keep up that pace, I dropped down to 1 bowl every 2-3 days, but after almost two months, I had finally worked through all of it!

…yeah, I finished it off the day before the almost-week-long power outage. You know, exactly when it would’ve been most helpful to have a big stash of food that can be stored at room temperature and will stay fresh and edible for months. Sigh.

I said in the Mastodon thread that maybe I should buy more, but having looked at the contents of my cupboards again…pretty sure what I need next is a Rice Project.
