    No idea. Whatever is in the Keurig pod. But I make it with the strong setting.

      I like 'em both. Which one depends on the flavor and texture of the foods accompanying the slaw.

      Otherwise I agree with Jolly.

      Yup. Both are fine.

      Mrs. George likes the slaw from KFC. I know, I know....

      Oh come ON, man! No!

      We've recently gone to KFC for the first time in 20 years - there's one round the corner from where we live, and it's actually surprisingly good.

      Also, you can feed a family of 4 four for $40, and have enough left over for lunch the next day, which is way cheaper than even McDonalds.

      It's still way below my minimum shit food threshold. Chik-Fil-A is as low as I'll go out there.

      Oatmeal is even cheaper, and you don't need an inorganic chem specialization to understand what you're ingesting.

            Oatmeal is only as good as the trimmings, but there are varying qualities of the base oats.

                  I had cream of wheat last week for the first time in decades. Made it with milk. Special treat. Mostly had it with water as a kid. Milestones like that make you realize how far you’ve come in life.

                          During my childhood, my stepmother (German born) didn't know how to make oatmeal. She'd do whatever to it in the cooking pot, and then when it was ready to be shifted to the eating bowls, she'd scoop up a spoonful of this gelatinous goop and hold it over the bowl until it fell off and landed with a wet-sounding glop. This could take a full 20 seconds until the horrid stuff released itself. Then she poured ice-cold milk over it. The mounds of gray oatmeal would loom up out of the milk like doughy tumors.

                          I'd have rather starved.

                          I have seen preparations that looked palatable, But it's too late for me.

                                  I question your ability it make it. It shouldn't be soggy.

                                  During my childhood, my stepmother (German born) didn't know how to make oatmeal. She'd do whatever to it in the cooking pot, and then when it was ready to be shifted to the eating bowls, she'd scoop up a spoonful of this gelatinous goop and hold it over the bowl until it fell off and landed with a wet-sounding glop. This could take a full 20 seconds until the horrid stuff released itself. Then she poured ice-cold milk over it. The mounds of gray oatmeal would loom up out of the milk like doughy tumors.

                                  I'd have rather starved.

                                  I have seen preparations that looked palatable, But it's too late for me.

                                  This a great. You should ghost write Horace’s book.

                                    I make oatmeal every day. I use a quarter cup of steel cut and a quarter cup of rolled oats cooked in our rice cooker set at porridge. It comes out perfectly every day. The rice cooker keeps it edible for hours. Top it with blueberries, some keto granola from Costco and some cut strawberries.

                                      I like coleslaw. I make it with vinegar and mayo combined. And salt and spices, and just a touch of sugar. And Worcestershire.

                                        I also like oatmeal - either steel cut or old fashioned - but has to be made with milk, or a mix of almond milk and half and half, plus salt, a little butter, raisins and nuts, and maybe some fresh fruit and unsweetened coconut. So yes, it’s about the toppings…😄

                                          I tried that years ago, but I didn't take to it. I was very impressed with the inventor, after having googled him. Do you think Aeropress is significantly better? One showstopper for me is the effort of getting the water to an exact temperature other than 212. Not sure if your method requires that.

                                          Education is extremely important.
