yep thats about what I do here. but I like the big flaky oats so i just

use them whole, although small finer flakes are available in the stores

here too. i use 100g about...cant believe i have to go back to us

measurements! metric makes so much sense. i pour the oats in a bowl,

add a pinch of raisins and some cinnamon and then pour boiling water

over. after about 5 min its at the thickness i like it and cool enough

to eat! are there different sizes of oats available in the us? though i

may try quaker again, i know they have actual plain oats that are just

oats (i think in the tube) but i'll probably look around at whats in

the organic section or stores too.
