Pickles by Brian Crane for February 19, 2020

Now tomorrow all you need to do is change out the remaining oatmeal with ice cream.

Earl probably wouldn’t make a very good spokesman for the Quaker Oats Company.

I just need milk and sugar.

I like rolled oats (not so much real oat meal). I even chew a spoonful of them from time to time for a snack. But I have to admit, when you boil it into mush, it’s a lot  better with additions. Though by strong preference, not  the way they flavor it when they call it “haggis”.

I like oatmeal but I like it with additions like what Earl puts in, and it is healthy.

Instant oatmeal – yuk. It’s like pablum. I like mine with a bit of local honey.

Can this be applied to Brussel sprouts?

Oatmeal with milk, fruit and nuts it gives you all the goodness and nourishment of milk, fruit and nuts.

Without those you get rickets.

I’m eating my oatmeal with raisins as I type this; I was going to put in blueberries but I forgot. I love oatmeal, especially when it’s nice and sticky like wallpaper paste <3

I hear that! Disgusting stuff!

Oatmeal in the AM and Cake in the PM … must keep things even ;-)

Nothing can make oatmeal taste good. It’s just mush. Yucko.

Chocolate chips.

I like it with Brown sugar, raisins, butter and cream. I use whipping cream. Cinnamon is okay too.

Earl…the anti-Wilfrid Brimley…

what’s wrong with plain oatmeal? Adding fruit and stuff to it ruins the flavour and the texture,

I love oatmeal, and I love Cream of Wheat. It’s grits I don’t like.

Loaded oatmeal is yummy!

That philosophy works for other foods too. Steak sauce for steak. Crackers for soup. Vegetables & condiments for burgers.

I had oatmeal today with brown sugar, pine nuts and sunflower seeds. Yum.

I’m gonna guess that Earl doesn’t have diabetes…

milk and sugar

Butter and honey.

I like old fashion oats with raisins, walnuts and cinnamon. Good stuff, Maynard.

I’ve notice that Pickles is the one comic I read that NEVER fails to get a guffaw, a giggle or at least a big smile from me every single day. Thanks, Brian!

I agree, I agree, I agree. The only good oatmeal is when it is used in baked goods.

Cookie dough and some time in the oven.

I like my rolled oats with cinnamon, flax meal, walnuts, and chopped prunes.

Earl’s add-ins work for Greek yogurt, too

+ half&half :)

Hey, disbeliever, thou shall not blaspheme oatmeal.

I’m with Earl on this one. I don’t even like oatmeal cookies.

every time I eat a bowl of oatmeal now I swear my mother is in heaven laughing her butt off because as a kid I’d put so much milk in it you could drink it (which I did)

I loved plain oatmeal in addition to the ones I put raisins in and cinnamon and blueberries and banana’s and more….

There is absolutely nothing you can put in oatmeal to make it taste less like oatmeal! Worst stuff ever!!

Amen to that!

I like oatmeal. Like grits. Like mush. Like spinach. Like flax seeds soaked in pickle juice. Like beets.

I’m a liker.
