Apple Raisin Oatmeal

Here's our every morning apple pie tasting hot breakfast cereal:
1/3 Cup regular or instant oatmeal
2 equal(1/3 Cup) measures of water
A sprinkle of salt across the top
A good dribble of vanilla extract
1/2 gala apple seeded( cut in half)
and in thirds then small diced
Healthy sprinkling whir grapes and then well mixed

Microwave this in ceramic round individual bowls
(this makes 2 servings)I use white corning-
4 minutes on high- check too see not too much water
Left- micro til it bubbles a little and fruit plumped.
Next section a large pat of butter quartered.sprinkles
With raw sugar for best taste. Not necessary to sweeten if
You want super healthy.

Wish I could write more tonight but I have a two month old
Gtandchild in a children's hospital in Chicago who I visited
Bringing cinnamon- maple syrup infused French crepes with braised apples
Raw sugar and syrup added- gala apples again- for the doctors and nurses with me.
This brave little two month old boy with down's syndrome and multiple heart defects is fighting for his life..his chest is closed but the sternum is still open.
It's a tough thing to deal with as a grandma and watch my daughter stress herself
To the point of exhaustion..she is there everyday for a month.have to go to bed so I can get up tomorrow to go see little Zach tomorrow and encourage his battle back to good health.
It's definable a struggle.good night for now! Mary Kay Abblett
