Oats As Cholesterol Sponges
a: Oatmeal ~
b: little sponges

Food As Painting
a: Oatmeal ~
b: blank canvas
What: "Fortunately, hot oatmeal is like a blank canvas. What you do with it is limited only by your imagination. You might add just a touch of brown sugar, or a bit of milk"

Flavor Wise...
a: Oatmeal ~
b: a new home
What: "Eating oatmeal is like having a new home. It's cool but all of the walls are blank and you have to decorate it up to match what you need. Oatmeal is just those plain white walls but everyone has a lil sum sum they throw in it to make it delicious."

a: Oatmeal ~
b: slug slime
What: "Oatmeal is like slug slime, only lumpier," says Alice Flaherty '94, the book's author and an unrepentant picky eater. "My parents would boil Scottish steel-cut oats for nearly an hour, and I would watch in disgust as the concoction belched steam bubbles into the air."

b: tofu

a: Oatmeal ~
b: Soul Food for the Scots
What: "I'm Scottish, so it's not a big stretch that I love Oatmeal, like any Good Scot! We grow up eating tons and tons of Porridge, and then anything else with lots of Oatmeal in it. Oatmeal is like Soul Food for the Scots!"

Substance It Has....
a: Oatmeal ~
b: tofu :a metaphor for life
What: "We've been eating oatmeal for breakfast for a few years now. Whenever people hear "oatmeal" they usually visualize a boring bowl of bland porridge. There is also the "my kids won't eat it" factor. Oatmeal is like tofu :a metaphor for life. It's boring, until you choose to make it exciting."
