It's a good thing I keep my camera close to the couch. I snapped this pic during last night's episode of Top Chef, when the quickfire challenge was all about using oatmeal with another food product: fish (!), poultry, fruit, veg, dairy, etc.
(Don't you love how they embed commercials in these shows? The way the product--whether it's Glad containers or whatever cars they're driving around in or Quaker Oats--is displayed so prominently and discussed at such length. It's Tivo/DVR proof. Genius.)
I know the contestants only have like 15 minutes to make a dish, so I guess oatmeal cookies were out of the question. Darnit!
I think you should Photoshop your face onto that box of oats!

I thought of you and almost called while watching this last night. Looks like I correctly assumed that you too were watching! There was some mention in the show of a Quaker Oats contest. Do you recall this and are you interested?

I totally thought of you when I saw this challenge :)

Hi, Carol. Now there's an idea! I'm totally going to try that...will be a good excuse to brush up on my Photoshop skills. :-)

Hi, Lorraine. I did sign up for that Quaker thing on the Top Chef web site. But I think it's more about using oatmeal for quick savory/main dishes. We'll see what happens...
