Cracked Wheat Cereal

The kids prefer Malt-O-Meal (if they HAVE to have hot cereal). I like oatmeal, but Wayne doesn't. So, he gets cracked wheat. The only thing is I have to remember the night before to get it ready. Place 1/3 cup cracked wheat in a bowl (top left). Add 2/3 cup water and a pinch of salt (top right). Let it sit over night (bottom left - doesn't look like there's a difference, but there is). Pop in the microwave for about 2 minutes - watch it! - sprinkle on some brown sugar (bottom right), add a little milk and eat it. Wayne's parents have this for breakfast every morning and usually add raisins as well. If you forget to soak it overnight, you can cook it on the stove - one part cracked wheat to two parts water - but it will take about 20 minutes.
