Oatmeal is a comfort food at my house. A nice warm bowl with brown sugar and milk (and if the kids aren't home I cook mine with raisins). Crunchy oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites.

Lately it would have been better used in a bath, to sooth my poison ivy rash on my arms and one knee. (Smart stuff here thought she could get rid of it easily before the leaves come out by cutting out the vines over the creek. When brushed against, the sap in the vines is so much more potent than the oil in the leaves that this has been one uncomfortable month, and it isn't over yet).
