I load up on oats, and every week, I make a batch with honey and walnuts and lots of cinnamon. I like my granola on the plain side, then I can add whatever strikes my fancy in the morning. With yogurt and fresh fruit, it's the best breakfast. Except for my winter oatmeal. When the air gets that special autumn smell and I wake up knowing I must put my robe on QUICKLY, it's time to make the change. Instead of rolled oats, I bring home huge bags of bulk steel-cut oats. Every week, I bring out the double boiler, fill it with raw milk and oats, and let it cook for 30 minutes. I will never enjoy oatmeal any other way, quite as much as this. It keeps just fine in the fridge, and every morning, I dish out a good cupful, add a little water, and nuke it for 3 minutes. Honey and cinnamon top it off. So good. Granola is my summer thing.

But recently I was in the US and could not find my regular muesli. I had to have granola instead. What a taste treat. Mmm, granola, it is not so popular here.
