Oatmeal can be a meal?

I never realized how fulling one bowl of oatmeal could be until today.

This afternoon my boyfriend and I wondered our way over to Magnolia to grab some mid afternoon breakfast. I had been craving oatmeal all morning and the day before and he was wanting his omelet

We walked in and got seated with in 10 minutes. We sat and pulled out some business we had to get taken care of for the week. Our waitress came and promptly took our food orders. We ordered mag mud (the black beans on the side), a bowl of oatmeal and two scrambled eggs, and an omelet with bacon and cheese.

We sat and took care of things then our queso arrived and we ate the whole thing with in minutes it seemed. Then finally our food arrived after we were scraping off the crumbs from our chip basket to savor every last bite.

I immediately put in my margarine and brown sugar. I mixed it in and the dry oatmeal immediately became a creamy smooth tan mixture. I took my first bite and that was the last of the bites. I began to shovel the oatmeal into my mouth and when it was half way done I began to feel the aftermath of it all.

I wanted to take a break and eat a few bites of my eggs but the oatmeal kept calling me back. I ended up finishing the delicious oatmeal and my stomach couldn't handle any thing else going into it, so my meal was done.

My eggs sat lonely on the table as the cold air crisped them up and prepared them for the cold air outside. Hopefully some raccoon had a nice meal out of my left over eggs, because for me oatmeal was more than enough for my meal.
