As both a child and an adult, I have enjoyed oatmeal, too.  But what I really
enjoyed was Wheat Hearts (put out by General Mills).  I grew up in Oregon 
where WH was readily available, but I have yet to see it in Boston.  Conse-
quently, I always buy it when I'm "home".  Is there anything equivalent else
equivalent to it?

I am relieved to see that I'm not the only one who had homemade rootbeer
growing up!  As I recall, we used green wine bottles to make it in.  The
fermentation time was long, and we had to turn the bottles periodically.  I
remember, too, the yeast that was left in the bottom of the bottle.  Was 
this common to anyone else?  Or did we do something wrong?
