Note to self (and anyone else who makes oatmeal in the microwave): Eventhough the Quaker instructions say to add 1.5 c. of milk for 3/4 c of oats, do NOT listen to them. Add only 1 cup. Otherwise, you'll have to cook it much longer than usual and then it will overflow in the microwave. And when you're starving because it's 12:30 and you were at the gym at 10 and didn't leave until 11:15, then had to run an errand, that extra 5 minutes of cooking time (and then the cleaning up of the overflow) can drive you INSANE.
