Yes, I DID go all the way to Le Pain Quotidien, a fabulous bakery in New York City, and ordered organic steel-cut oatmeal with fresh berries. I had pretty much threatened to do this a few weeks ago.
It was entirely worth skipping croissants and danishes to eat this masterpiece instead. Creamy and nutty, it made me realize that I need to figure out how to utilize milk in my version of steel-cut oats instead of simply water and/or orange juice.
Entirely Adequate 
Is that basil? It looks delicious!
It was mint … I somehow couldn’t imagine a minty bowl of oatmeal, so I set it aside. Pretty, though.
Ahh.. mint makes more sense than basil, it was pretty none the less!
