Oatmeal:
secret for a long

AT LEAST half of my ancestors arrived by boat, in Nova
Scotia, from Scotland. I’m told that most of them arrived
with their kilts, a Bible and what was left of a sack of

oatmeal.

They prospered and lived to
amazing ages —~ probably the side
effect of cating all that oatmeal,

Seriously, it has been proven
that oatmeal does wonderful things
for your health. People who eat a
regular amount of this simple stuff
get fewer cancers.

It is easily as good as bran for
keeping your digestion moving in
the right direction. You can even
mix it with water and apply it to
your face — makes quite a mess
but improves your complexion at
least as well as any of that stuff in
the expensive bottles,

If I'm left on my own — no ar-
my to cook dinner for — I keep
things simple. | make myself a

bow! of old-fashioned oatmeal
porridge and go to bed early. Try
it sometime, especially if you've
had trouble sleeping.

Unfortunately, not many fami-
lies are content with a bowl of
porridge these days. Presenting
oatmeal in any form isn’t easy and
the last thing you can do is explain
how “‘healthy’’ the stuff is.

Here are some recipes that are
quick to prepare and feature the
old Scottish answer to a long life.

Oatmeal Muffins
1 cup regular oatmeal
(not the instant kind)

1 cup buttermilk
Ys cup margarine
Y2 cup brown sugar

lege

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
VY teaspoon buking soda

1 teaspoon salt

Stir the buttermilk into the
Oatmeal and let it sit for a few
minutes, until the oatmeal soaks
up the buttermilk. Beat together
the margarine and brown sugar.
Add the egg and beat until blend-
ed, Add the oatmeal mixture and
stir. Sift the remaining ingredients
together and stir into the first mix-
ture, just until combined — batter
should be lumpy.

400°, 20 minutes.

When my kids were going to
school, I'd prepare the oatmeal-
Margarine ete. mixture the night
before and refrigerate. In the
morning Id stir in the flour and
bake the muffins while everyone
was getting organized.

With half a cantaloupe or
grapefruit, a glass of milk and, for
adults, a cup of coffee, you've got
a real head start on a day,

I’ve printed this recipe before,
but many years ago. It deserves
reprinting because it’s such a good,
inexpensive way to get oatmeal in-
to your diet. Another plus — if
everyone oversleeps you can't feel
guilty about having cookies for
breakfast!
