Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of December! 
Only 3 days until Xmas! I hope everybody is couchmaxxing and getting into the festive mood. 
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, “sober for one day.” Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don’t have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?
Take care 
have you tried the steel cut/irish style oats? serious gourmet shit and worth the long cooking times.
Miso paste is really good in oatmeal too and you only need a tiny amount so it lasts forever.
I have a bit of steel cut but I’ve always been daunted by how to cook them tbh also fr on the miso paste I mostly used it for miso pasta but I can see about giving it a try with the savory oatmeal next time I make it.
i put the oats in with a ton of water and set a 20 minute timer. Add in frozen veggies and fish sauce and whatever and then restart the timer for another 20m adding more water if necessary. it’s just barely rolling and no lid so the water can escape. After the 40 minutes i just let it go until it’s the consistency of risotto (0-10 minutes) and it’s fucking h e a v e n.
Usually enough for 3/4 servings and so healthy yet doesn’t taste like healthy food!
