Oats, The Weather and I


Maybe I’m a bit too traditional in some instances, but here it is-I don’t eat oatmeal when the temperature is above forty degrees.  I live in South Carolina, as a consequence, I still have a small canister (18 ounces) of oatmeal in the pantry that I bought in 2016 (don’t worry, it says “best if used before September 22nd of 2018.”).  

So far this winter, I’ve eaten about four times as much as I did last winter, and it’s starting to look like I’ll be able to use all of it.  That would mean consuming more than 13 servings! In less than two years!  I can see by the forecast for the rest of this month that I will have at least five opportunities to eat oatmeal. (Brrrrr!) Is this a great country, or what?
