Rainy Days

I really enjoy a nice rainy day. The birds still sing, did you know? And all of the wonderful growing things in the yard are getting quenched, or maybe just drenched. But nevertheless this is a marvelous thing, a reason to celebrate. Celebratory Breakfast:

Baked Amish Oatmeal (easy and delicious!)
1 1/2 c oatmeal
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c milk or milk substitute
1/4 c butter or butter substitute
1 egg
1 t baking powder
2 t vanilla
1 pinch salt

Bake in small greased baking dish at 350F for 25-30 min.
I like to top mine with fresh fruit (especially peaches) and yogurt, but you can cook it with fruit or nuts already added.

Enjoy!


P.S.
Gutters are a pretty good substitute for the sound of rain on a tin roof.
