Oatmeal Surprise

In accordance with "the Dineh way"—as per Tony Hillherman's Jim Chee—and using the water with which your rinse-out the coffee pot. AND Knowing that when you boil vegetables they loose many of their nutrients—hence the preference for steaming—one must wonder about the water canned vegetables are packed in... I offer thee the secret to oatmeal surprise.

For a surprisingly good and subtle but sweet treat, cook (plain or instant) oatmeal with greenbean juice; the water from canned green beans.

Don't ask how I know, or how I figured this out, I cannot remember. But if it sounds so odd, consider Dim Sum green bean rolls.
