I planned on eating oatmeal this morning because I had cooked some in the slow cooker, but to my horror, I had put one cup of barley instead of one cup of oatmeal. So instead of eating oatmeal for the rest of the week in the mornings, I'll be eating barley for this week and next week for multiple meals. I also cooked some yesterday morning, so you can imagine how much barley will be in my refrigerator. I really had hoped to get a nice system going, cooking barley one morning, oatmeal the next, and then bean and vegetable soup. That way, all my meals would be done cooking and all I'd have to do is reheat on the stove. I guess the one advantage of having all this barley is that barley tastes nice cold from the refrigerator, and if you eat it cold without reheating it once, you get all the advantages of resistant starch.
