review: *limited edition* (Giant) Limoncello Oatmeal

When I first saw the displays of Limoncello products at my local Giant a few weeks back my first thought was, it's back again already? I couldn't remember any of the products (food or otherwise) striking my fancy last time so I didn't bother to look closely. But the next time I just happened to walk past a basket of Limoncello oatmeal cups. Limoncello oatmeal?, I thought. That sounds gross. I need to try it.

Lemon and oats just don't go together in my mind, but I'd already tried the cookies--which weren't bad--and I really wanted to review something this month. The oatmeal itself was just okay. There was no fill line (as per the instructions) so I had to measure the boiling water myself and 2/3 of a cup was really too much. So I had thin, watery oatmeal that tasted like a lemon Oreo, but less sweet. Like I said, just okay.

fun on a bun...

Technically, the bun is optional but I just have to recommend these Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breasts.  I thought it sounded like a different kind of chicken sandwich for me and I'd never made a rub before. I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before. It smells like the primary ingredient in a packet of taco seasoning, so you can see why it would need to be balanced out with brown sugar. Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
