Wed AM breakfast

And what was sitting in my belly at the start of the ride.  Yeah I ate a pint of my final mix at 3:30pm, a mere 90 min before the start of the smackdown.  That or be famished on the ride.  Catch 22 situation.

Right so what was it?

This

Except not quite that.

I didn't have scottish oats but the Bob's Red Mill Scottish ones I tried at Bend Nats were pretty awesome.

I used some steel cut oats.  I toasted them on high heat with the butter till it smelled toasty and the butter was all absorbed.  Certainly could use Coconut fat or other veggie fat to make it vegan.  Cooked it up nice and toasty, popped in some water, brought it to a boil, and covered and set it on the back of the stove for the night.

Best to add a touch of salt with the water.  Why not.  Helps with flavor, esp if you use unsalted butter (if you use unsalted butter make sure you're purchasing butter w/o the flavor added - if it needs flavor the butter is shit quality - not real food IOW).

For my 'toppings'

A bit of Bob's Red Mill ground flax seed (store in fridge)
Rasins
Sugar (brown or vegan usually)
dark chocolate peanut butter 

I added a touch of whole milk at the end of the morning cooking.

But simple. Melt butter, put in oats, crank heat, toast, add water, bring to boil, turn off heat, cover, put on back of stove, wake up in the am, crank heat back up to boil, finish cooking (couple minutes) and dress it and eat it.

So

good

yum

but a bit dense to eat 90 min before the smackdown
