an odd question but mildly Davis Sq related, I swear

I posted this question on cooking in a more generalized way, but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to post it here.



Does anyone have a recipe that comes close to replicating the oatmeal that is served at Johnny D's?

Literally steeping them, like tea. I'm not sure why, but this causes the oats to expand better than boiling them on the stove. Maybe you could actually boil them for a few minutes, but the majority of the time, they should just be sitting and absorbing water. Keep them covered while they're steeping, though, because they'll still need to be pretty hot.
