Susan, it was a JOY to spend our time together at Rancho La Puerta. I am busy writing about the adventure, so make sure and check back. And DO let me know your thoughts about the oatmeal. Love you!

Hi Patti,
It was great chatting with you over some memorable dinners at Rancho La Puerta last week. I plan to make the crockpot oatmeal tonight. I just have to get the dustballs out of the crockpot before I start, I am not sure that they would add anything special to the dish.
Take care,
Susan Parks

Steel-cut oats are made by cutting the oat kernel into chunks. In the U.S., Quaker-type oatmeal (both quick-cooking and regiular) is made byrolling and flattening the kernel between rollers, so you end up with flakes. Steel-cut oats retain their chunkiness when cooked.

I have some steel cut oatmeal in the pantry that I’d forgotten about until reading this… I know what we’re having for breakfast this weekend!

Patti comments: Hi Bron, do you have Irish Oats in Australia? Not quick cooking. Our cannister (see in the back of the photo) is a “product of Ireland,” 100% wholegrain Irish oats.

Patti comments: also known as Irish Oats. See the white/gold/black cannister in the back? Maybe you will recognize it on the store shelf.

Dumb question for such an easy sounding recipe…what is steel cut oatmeal?

Hi Patti, will be giving this one a go with Autumn around the corner.BUT, what the hec is “steel cut oatmeal”? I think maybe a quick cooking oat? Finer cut than regular? Obviously an americanism??!! We call it porridge here, so it will get a name change for the Kiwi/Aussie palete.
You will be warming up now I guess, few spring flowers arriving?Look forward to hearing from you,Cheers Bronwyn
