I'll ask my Swedish step-mom about it. I'll just casually throw it into
the conversation. "What do you think of getting a bowl of say... oats
and letting it sit in milk overnight and then say... eating it... hmmm?

BTW, how was it? I've tried it but it wasn't my thing. People have told
me that it's good but maybe I'm not a very natural person. Maybe instant
Quaker Oats ain't the best thing to try it out with.
