Quaker Overnight Oats

I never liked oatmeal - ever.  It was only after giving birth that I tried it and realized, it was not so bad.  I think it was because a yummy tablea was put together with the oatmeal. I then, would always always put chocolate something on my oatmeal.  What can I say, I'm a creature of habit!

I have been very curious on the overnight oats.  I have been seeing on my feed that friends have been doing it left and right.  Fact is - I always cook my oats, I always buy those *Quick Cook* ones instead of the instant.  It was my sister in law Sasa who told me to get the quick cook ones, instead of the instant - and she's very particular with food and so I believed her.  Hehehe.  

When I received a Quaker Whole Grain Rolled Oats kit, I was so happy to see that it was a *quick cook* varian.  Yey!  Seeing the plastic canisters - well, I had no reason not to try the overnight oats anymore.  Delaying is O-V-E-R!



I was so happy to receive the kit as it had instructions on the glass canister!  It was easy peasy!  Woohooo!!


No need to guess how much oat and liquid to put!  I'm glad there's a line I can follow.  The kids saw me do this and they want to do it themselves next time.


Here's me trying my best!  Haha..



I found Chia Seeds, so I put them in too..



Now, it's ready to be stored overnight in the ref....  Excited for the result!



I was so excited to see and taste the overnight oats.  This is fresh from the ref:



The verdict?  Well, I won't ever go back to cooking my oatmeal again!  I have decided that these overnight oats taste so much better and the texture is perfect for me too!  Glad to have been part of this activity!  I'll try and scout some fresh fruits to go with this.

I never knew it was this easy.

Want to try this at home ?

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
