I have a ton of oatmeal. Unfortunately, I have no milk to make it with.

I do, however, have Egg Nog.

Should I put the Egg Nog in the Oatmeal?

I use water. Tastes just as good to me.

But yes, do use egg nog. That's gotta be worth trying once. :p

is it instant oatmeal?

does the nog have rum?

is it that horrible goopy eggnog that you buy in the grocery store?

Euuuch.

Use water instead.

Yes. Follow by putting the lime in the coconut.

Oatmeal = porridge, aye?

If so, for the love of god no.

Why not? it might actually work well...

Tell me if its any good...I also have lots of Oatmeal and Egg Nog, lol...

Oatmeal = porridge, aye?
I would second this query.

From reading it on wiki, it looks like porridge's tragically retarded younger brother.

I would answer with The Source of All Knowledge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oatmeal).

that pretty much sums it up.

I think it's a little different from your porridge, judging by boxes I've seen at the import store.

The more I think about it, the more I think egg nog would go well mixed 3:1 with water, with flavors like Pumpkin Spice (the new one from Quaker) or Cinnamon Bun. Maybe even with Apple Cinnamon.

how would we know?

oatmeal is flattened oats. some are more ground up than others.

*sicks up in throat a little*

Get some decent milk, a little sugar and NOTHING ELSE BUT OATS. Then make porridge and be happy without yer cinnamon crap.

Problem is I only have one Oatmeal I actually like and its Apple Cinnamon...

The Maple Syrup and Cinnaomon...blech...so very bland, lol...

is it instant oatmeal?

Yes

does the nog have rum?

No, I ran out.

Yes

then anything will make it taste better, add the nog.

is it that horrible goopy eggnog that you buy in the grocery store?

It is, but it is organic. It seems to be better.

No, I ran out.

here is what you do then...throw out the nog, throw out the oatmeal and just buy some rum.

Yes
go ahead then but be prepared to toss it into the trash and start againwith a new nogless batch.

It is, but it is organic. It seems to be better.

Organic store bought nog is better, whatever you do, don't get the soy milk nog.....terrible.

Egg nog = milk, cream, sugar and egg, flavored with cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Makes sense that it could replace milk in oatmeals that are also cinnamon-flavored, no? That was the thinking on that.

Lmfao...That would seem to be the optimum solution...

I would second this query.

I don't know. It consists mainly of oats. You put water or milk in (tastes better with milk, hence why I am considering egg nog) and heat it up and it gets all mushy. Then you can put sugar or whatever on it if you want. Or not, if you prefer.

especially if the oatmeal is instant *shudders*

Egg in porridge - no. I wouldn't think that a flapjack omlette would be any good to anyone tbqh.

Aye this sounds like porridge.

When I'm too lazy to make my own, I like:

Cinnamon Bun (w/ added cinnamon and sometimes walnuts)
Raisin, Date, and Walnut (again, more walnuts added)
Apple Cinnamon
Pumpkin

But homemade is always best.

I have used egg nog in pancakes before. They were the best pancakes ever.

Why the hell would I get soy milk nog? Lol. Soy milk is only good if you put whiskey in it.

egg nog in pancakes? did it have rum?

No. I was a minor at the time. Still, best pancakes ever. When I flipped them over while cooking them, they literally went THUD when they hit the griddle.

There is no Soy Milk...For there is no Soy Teat...It is Soy Juice! lol

Soy milk nog is simply atrocious. Soy milk and whiskey on the other hand i should try....

i should try that, but with rum.

are you sure that tofurkeys don't have soy teats?

Nice! I wouldn't have thought of that. In fact, I hated the taste of buttermilk so much as a kid that I haven't tried it in 20+ years, even though I love buttermilk pancakes. I'm thinking I might need to get re-acquainted with that old friend, too. :tongue:

It's good if you put some maple syrup in.

i should try that, but with rum.

I'm beginning to see a pattern emerge.

that would give it some flavor, my major issue with the silk nog is that it is totally flavorless.

i just cant have the nog without rum.

I was talking about regular soy milk with whiskey in it.

I just did it, and it was actually delicious.

ah, that sounds good.....

I could imagine liking horchata with rum or whisky added (though my memories of those spirits' flavors are *very* distant), but soy? Sounds odd.

Edit: yup - a quick search tells me horchata with rum is popular in some circles.

Ah, sorry. I forget sometimes that not everyone lives in a Hispanic neighborhood/near Mexico:

It's tasty. :tongue:

Just... don't... eat?

Just... don't... eat?

I was hungry. Still am. I think I might make a sandwich. I had grilled cheese yesterday, so I think maybe today I'll have salami... or ham.... hmmm.... decisions....

Instant oatmeal and storebought eggnog? *winces*

Buy regular oatmeal and cook it according to directions on the box. When it's at the proper delicious consistency, season to taste - I prefer brown sugar, a little butter and half and half. The half and half will more than make up for the cholesterol lowering properties of the oatmeal and it tastes damned good. Now I'm hungry for oatmeal. Damn you.

are you sure that tofurkeys don't have soy teats?

Silly person. Tofurkeies are birds. Birds don't have teats.

i should try that, but with rum.

Sorry, the rum is gone. The question is, why?

theres no egg in store bought eggnog.

raw eggs are a health hazard.

Actually I'm pretty sure there ARE eggs in it, just not raw unprocessed ones. They could pasteurize the eggs in the shell before adding them to the nog, or they could make the nog then pasteurize it with the eggs already in.

Now I'm hungry for oatmeal. Damn you.

It took pretty much all of my willpower to stop myself from making a bowl. :tongue:

Make the porridge with water and drink the eggnogg while eating it.

Raw eggs in my eggnogg... Desinfected with cognac *nods*

I was hungry. Still am. I think I might make a sandwich. I had grilled cheese yesterday, so I think maybe today I'll have salami... or ham.... hmmm.... decisions....

So... you had bread and cheese and salami in your fridge... and you were still contemplating egg nog with oatmeal?

So, what was the verdict on the nogmeal? It only takes a minute or so to prepare if it's instant, after all. Don't keep us in suspense. :p

I said a couple pages back. It was delicious. Worked out extremely well. Trader Joe's organic egg nog + quaker maple brown sugar instant oatmeal = yum. I shall try it with a packet of "cinnamon roll" oatmeal tomorrow and report back.

Yes. I craaaved oatmeal. It's cold.

Aha, I missed that completely. Good to hear. :)

Silly person. Tofurkeies are birds. Birds don't have teats.

what about the tofucow?

Sorry, the rum is gone. The question is, why?

because everything tastes better with rum.

do not use the eggnog. the eggnog is for rum.

add the rum after you cook the nog and oatmeal, stir and enjoy...

Throw out the porridge/instant oatmeal. Fry up all kinds of bacon with real maple syrup. Drink rum. Add some rum to the bacon because breakfast experiment are the best experiments. Fry up some eggs in the leftover maplerumgrease. May as well do some of your eggnog pancakes as well. Finish of the rest of the rum, pull out the whiskey. Have a damn good breakfast. Pour the soy milk down the toilet. Flush.

But then I'll have less food...

I don't have either of these currently and getting them would cost money, which I don't have.

Drink rum.
Can't do this for same reasons as above

See above

Fry up some eggs in the leftover maplerumgrease.
I do, however, have eggs.

May as well do some of your eggnog pancakes as well.
I don't have any pancake ingredients. Except the egg nog.

Finish of the rest of the rum, pull out the whiskey.
I don't have either of these currently and both cost money.

Have a damn good breakfast. Pour the soy milk down the toilet. Flush.
I don't have any soy milk. The only time I ever use it is when I'm stealing from my friends' roommate.

Problem solved. Just remember to wear a large coat when you go "shopping".

i always make oatmeal in water, then add either chocklet, or mayonaise and onions, just like i would for pancakes.

(it was a french canadian guy who told me about mayonaise and onions on pancakes, which he treated me to, and i liked it)

there's a lot of other things you can do with oatmeal to, interesting things you wouldn't normally otherwise think of. oatmeal cookies are of course obvious, but there's lots of other things like in sauces and gravies, and then also as stuffings.

as for eggnog, i wouldn't try cooking in it, because after all the raw egg, when cooked becomes cooked egg, but putting it ON your oatmeal sounds not all that much unlike my putting chocklet on it. i'd let the oatmeal cool a bit before doing so, for the same reason i wouldn't cook it with it.

cooking with eggnog is another things, recipies that involve eggs and milk and sugar, can certainly use eggnog substitution in proportion.
