Dessert For Breakfast

I realize this photo makes this oatmeal look like something a forlorn and mistreated child in a Roald Dahl story might have for breakfast.

In reality, it’s on par with having pie for breakfast—strawberry rhubarb pie, with a dollop of cream.

Not much of a recipe here, but for guidelines on cooking steal cut oats, see my post on the magic properties of the stuff.  Along with the water and oats, I added chopped rhubarb, strawberries, a grating of lime zest, and a spoonful of brown sugar. By the time the oats were cooked, the rhubarb and berries were softly stewed.
