McMorris House - Albany, OR

BrianMcM - while not really a restaurant, I must credit the source of my appreciation for oatmeal, my mom and dad's home. We had the occassional bowl of oatmeal as I was growing up, along with Roman Meal, Cream of Wheat, Malt-O-Meal and other members of the porridge family. But good ole Quaker Oats oatmeal, with bananas, brown sugar and evaporated milk were a mainstay. Now, when I go home to visit, oatmeal has become a daily offering and is accented with bran (watch out for the double dose), bananas, raisins, dates, nutmeg and brown sugar. My family experience demonstrated to me the range and variety of oatmeal cereal and also helped inspire this blog. Oatmeal = 5, Ambience = 5, Service = 5
