I've had oatmeal both ways .... and find I prefer the butter (lots)
and salt (a smidgen). No sugar needed - especially if I am having

Lots of both, but then again I'm a saltaholic. I justify it by saying
I'm trying to keep my Blood Pressure up, either by nature or medication I'm borderline hypotensive. I get some strange looks when I tell the medico people that. :-) But then I seem to be some sort of a contrarian...everybody gets AFib, me I get V tach.

My BP averages 110/62. If a female takes it it might be a few points
higher (up to 10) than if a hairy leg pumps up the cuff. My cardio doc
says that just means I'm a normal (me???) male. Besides that for all the 'conventional wisdom' clowns parroting the "salt is bad" there are some rhinestone-studded, rhodium plated balancing opinions that salt has
little to do with your BP numbers.

It doesn't seem to affect mine. And I eat a fair amount of salt. Because,
as we know, salt enhances flavour.

Mine runs lower. In the 90's over 50-60's. When it got down into the 80's, when I was in ReHab, I would get yelled at. But we laughed a lot about my consistent 70 pulse rate. I told them I was going to have it retuned up one for my birthday.

My pulse remains fairly steady at whatever my pacemaker determines it
should be. Apparently my heart never skips a beat - even in the presence
of a beautiful woman.

Title: American Beauty
Categories: Cakes, Desserts
Yield: 9 Servings

MMMMM--------------------------COLORING-------------------------------
2 oz Red food coloring
3 tb Nestle's instant cocoa

MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
1/2 c Shortening
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 c Buttermilk
2 1/4 c Cake flour; sifted 3 times
1 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla
1 tb White vinegar
1 ts Baking soda

MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
1/4 lb Unsalted butter
7 tb Shortening
1 c Sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla
3 tb Cake flour
2/3 c Buttermilk; room temp

Mix together the red food coloring and instant cocoa; set
aside. Cream together the 1/2 cup of shortening, 1-1/2 cup
sugar and eggs. Add colored paste and mix well. Add 1 cup
buttermilk, 2-1/4 cup cake flour and salt. Mix well, add 1
teaspoon vanilla, vinegar and baking soda. Mix well again.

Bake in 350øF oven 30-35 minutes.

For the icing, cream together butter, remaining shortening
and vanilla. Mix very well with electric beater; add
remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time while mixing. Add
remaining buttermilk and mix well.

Notes: This recipe was handed down from my mother-in-law and
I have never seen the equal of it! For Christmas, add green
food coloring to the icing for a real Christmas effect. The
hand written recipe did not indicate pan size, type or
quantity ... but works well as a layer cake or in a
springform cake pan.
