Oh, you're still here?
Don't say I didn't warn you.

I won't lie. I totally went there.

| Creamy breakfast porridge with sweet Heinz 57 beans |
My hands felt just like two oven mitts.
This morning I had that fever once again, I can't explain, you would not understand...
This is exactly who I am. I'm a freak.
So essentially my desire to have beans, oatmeal and spinach spilled into my second ever savory oatmeal. Once again, the first bite took some mind adjustments. I wound up actually liking the dish, though I think next time I'd add in some actual garlic.
The Husband kept pretty reserved until I got out of him he hated everything about it except the beans. "Then," he said, "it's just beans!"
Indeed, sir. Indeed.

| Pretty much what I'd envisioned when I could have been fast asleep... |
Hate me all you want. Hate it all you want. I enjoyed every last bite.
(Besides, told you I was a freak, you can't stop me.)
In any case, it hit the spot and I think I won't be seeing it again until the dead of winter. It struck me as a dead of winter need-my-proteins-to-stick-to-my-bones kind of dish.
And guess what, The Husband?
Winter is coming.
(Yup. Totally went there too.)

1. Add oats, water and salt to a pan and bring to a boil.

5. Marvel at the non-faces your The Husband makes as you scoff your bowl down and satisfy the fever.

| I certainly enjoyed it. This bowl survived 3 whole minutes. |
