I finally found the Irish oatmeal (McCanns) at a local supermarket. It
tastes good. Amazing that is tastes different from rolled oats. They
even smell a little differently....more like oats from a field smell
if you've ever been around those.

Another thing I tried was using the 8th Continent light chocolate soy
milk to make instant pudding. It works great. I don't follow the
recipe. What I do is dissolve a packet of Knox gelatin in hot water,
then add more water to bring the volume to 2 cups. Then I use just 1
cup of the soy milk (90 cal), white chocolate sugar-free instant
pudding along with 6 packets of Splenda. Stir like crazy after adding
the liquids and pour into bowls. I make only 2 large servings each
with only 100 calories from this. Try it. It is really delicious! Of
course you could use fat-free milk instead of soy milk and that is
what I had been doing....but this actually tastes better. It's
probably the chocolate in the soy.

Two culinary discoveries in one day. I'm ecstatic. dkw
