    Best ever Oatmeal !

    i am a big fan of steel cut oatmeal. but i am finicky & do question the freshness of canned and bulk products…. am i just imagining a rancid undertone ? now i can  enjoy an organically grown - heirloom grain - stone ground to order ! bowl of oatmeal. what a treat ! 

    check out anson mills - for their product list ( polenta - rice - grits & more) and read about their passion & mission. they do it up right.  ( we are pleased to offer the polenta at ASTI and now offer the oatmeal at FINO sunday brunch).

    this slightly toasted steel cut oat is more refined - and certainly tastier -than your usual.  it takes about 20 minutes to cook with the usual 4 parts water/ 1 part oats.

    i like to eat oatmeal in the usual ways… cooked with chopped apples & cinnamon…..topped with sliced bananas and brown sugar……..

    but my new favorite……..

    bacon ( or preferred guanciale with it’s salt & pepper crust) - rendered & mixed with maple syrup ! meaty-fatty-salty-spicy & sweet !

    now that’s breakfast of champions !  thank-you anson mills !
