Lillian, What a wonderful post! You made me miss the classroom. Unfortunately, you made me miss the crème brulee oatmeal even more! I went online and found a recipe that sounds close ‹ though it could not possibly be as good as I remember! http://www.spaindex.com/CUISINE/BananaOatmeal.htm I¹m going to try it for Sunday brunch. Thanks for sharing such timely reminders of why we teach. Later, Sandra Effinger [log in to unmask]
