I eat it with a little maple syrup and enough almond milk to cool it down. My usual is oatmeal, but this is a nice change once in awhile!!

Ok, thanks a lot JuicerJohn.JuicerJohn wrote:That looks like it might be big enough, but just barely. If you can manage a bigger one, I would recommend a 4-quart model. That is big enough to do 2 cups of beans, or a 5-pound bag of potatoes, or a pot of soup or stew.
A slow cooker is so versatile, but a small size would really limit its versatility.

I'm just so lazy about using the oven (it's tiny, only has one rack, the temperature is in Celsius, and it doesn't tell you when it's preheated -- thank you Korea -- but I could also use my toaster oven, so it's really just the laziness). Hash browns on the stove are delicious though. I need to get back into making those -- the frozen bags of shredded potatoes make it so easy!
I think it's so interesting how (not counting food intolerances, etc.) people have such different tastes. I have literally tried every grain I could get my hands on, including teff (delicious but only when you cook it fresh) and hato mugi (tastes musty), from back in my macrobiotic days. Barley, wheat berries, spelt, amaranth (definitely the grossest grain I have ever tried), buckwheat, rye. And now I basically only buy brown (and sometimes white, as a treat) rice. I would also maybe buy millet these days if I could brave the Korean market. I also really like grits, but they're not whole grain. I tried whole grain cornmeal once but it tasted bitter to me. And every once in a while I try to get into sweet potatoes but I just can't like them. Oh well.
