A devil in my left ear

Oatmeal is one of my favorites comfort foods. It's quick, tasty and satisfying - yes, i do find oatmeal nature very tasty - especially when I'm very tired or feeling the need to wake up slowly on my days off. I was extremely tired all day today because of a babysitting session that ended at two am, followed by a too short 5-hour night before work on tuesday. After this afternoon's nap, I needed a solid quatre heure (afternoon snack). Isleepwalked to the kitchen, took out some oats and a bowl. I had just opened the fridge to take out the milk when my eyes fell on a foil covered cup.

It was some leftover ganache from a chocolate cake I made last weekend. I almost heard a 'ding!' and thought "wow, that would be really nasty if..."

"Satan told me so" oatmeal - serves two:

• one rice cooker cup of rolled oats
• two rice cooker cups of milk
• four big teaspoons of ganache
• more milk, sugar (optional)

Set the microwave timer to four minutes. Put the oatmeal and the milk in a bowl. Heat it for a whole minute in the microwave. Take it out, add the ganache and give it a good stir. If you need it, you can heat it a little more to make sure it has dissolved. Once it has, add a little sugar if you need it - I didn't. Cook it for the remaining time. You have to watch it or it will easely overflow. Add more milk to desired texture. Cover with a plate and wait for a few minutes before eating - it's superhot.

See, I'm not much of a chocolate person. I like my oatmeal plain. It all just happened lol. If you have the time, do it in a pan. The cereal cooks much better that way. I have an excuse: I was in a hurry...
