Eating some oatmeal right now, actually. Here in Minnesota, USA, warm cereals (primarily oatmeal, Malt-o-meal and Cream of Wheat) are very popular in the colder months (September through April or May, most years). They also rock when you're sick, especially with a sore throat (as I am today). However, I almost always cook mine on the stove top, not in the microwave.
