The secret of no lumps: heat the cream or milk before adding it to hot potatoes

Thank you. I will try this, but the lumps give the memory of grandma.

Reminds me of my youth, sitting with my sister and counting plum stones found in our morning oatmeal before riding to school on our bicycles. Who needs a thousand words or a picture, when your voice becomes a magnet? You are my new fave.

Thank you. Wish you could hear me read at the coffee shops! When I worked at the hospital I made oatmeal for the patients and yes it would get so lumpy and so thick I would have to add water to it because I couldn't add milk because of people's diet restrictions. That's a good memory with your sister!
