Overnight Irish Oatmeal

As I've said before, I like to eat different things besides cereal on the weekends. I saw this recipe on a cooking blog that I visit and thought that it looked yummy and easy. Having said that, I don't think that I would make it and let it cook overnight again. The reason being that I worried about it all night long so that I didn't sleep well. I finally got up about 5 am to turn it on warm. I am glad that I did because it was starting to burn around the edges. The flavor of it was very good, but it was way too mushy for my liking. I think that I could get the same flavor just boiling the water with all of the ingredients on the stove top, but without the mushiness.
