I buy their dill relish and pickles at local stores here. I was pretty

I mostly do "instant" oatmeal. And I have been known to eat it for 
breakfast or lunch. And sometimes for supper. I've got a small pitcher
that holds the perfect amoun t of water for me. I do 5 of the little
bags of oatm eal, a heaping TB of butter and a good amount of powdered
creamer. Nuke the little pitcher for 2 minutes, Pour, stir, eat.

I've been known to get fey and do this recipe, as well
