Ken, I am wondering it that photo with the CHS on the ball could be Chapel Hill School, I believe at one time there was a school there at the Church.. May be OD or some of the folks from around there would know....

Dorothy, Yes, as Jeannine said, they are usually packaged in a 28-ounce can. I buy them at Wal-Mart or at Publix. They are usually stocked with the regular oats. Cost about $5.xx a can, but they really last. They have a sort of nutty flavor and are very tasty. I discovered them a few months ago and have really enjoyed them. They do take longer to cook than regular oats, though. Often referred to as "Irish Porridge". Ken -----Original Message----- Ken - I've read about steel cut oats and how good they are for lowering cholesterol....but have never seen any at the store. Do you buy them at Publix? Or do you go to a specialty store? I may be looking in the wrong place. Thanks. Dorothy

We don't have Kroger's down here - but if they have them, that means Publix probably does too. I am just looking in the wrong place....that happens often!

Hey Ken, No St. Patrick's celebration or meal for me. I do cook corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots once a year, New Year's Day, to go with my black eye peas and cornbread! Some tradition, huh? Maybe I'll wear something green tomorrow if I think about it.

Gang, Is anyone planning on celebrating their Irish heritage this year with any traditional dishes or whatever? I am going to fix corned beef with savoy cabbage - steamed in a crockpot with plenty of beer... (even though tradition says it's not a real Irish dish - they say that thick sliced bacon and cabbage is the authentic version); baked winter vegetables (parsnips, carrots, turnips, potatoes, seasoned and sprinkled with olive oil); and Donegal Oatmeal Cream for dessert. That is made with McHann's steel cut oats, whipped cream and diluted fruit (like Polaners). I have been eating steel-cut oats for a long time, and if you've never had them, once you try them you will never go back to Quaker oats again... ha. I think I'd rather have this kind of heritage meal than the Scottish haggis..... barf. Ken

Nova, Thanks for researching this for me. I knew you had connections from your past projects with the local library, and couldn't think of anyone better to find the answer to my question. I just hate to have a location in my genealogy database that doesn't have a complete city/county/state reference. I have thought that the Oiltown name was somehow shortened to "Oilton" through the years, even though there are references galore referencing "Oiltown, Ok". I have found references to Oiltown as late as the 1960s - 1970s, so it is sure curious to me. I know it existed as early as 1910 - 1930. I have tried to track down the people in the obits I have found that indicate they were born in Oiltown, Ok from the mid-1910s - 1930s. If I could find an OK census index with the parents of these people in it, then I could narrow it down to about what county it was in. Thank you again for all your help. Hope you are having nice weather out there. We've had some cold again, but looks like Spring is trying to bust through again!! Ken -----Original Message----- Ken, I checked with the Oklahoma History Center in OKC, two different departments checked their resources, they didn't find a town named Oiltown except, of course, the Oilton in Creek Cty. (pronounced oil ton) In one of the departments a lady said even if a boom town or oil town received mail for a month, it had a name. I don't know how, back then, anyone would know to send mail someplace in just a month's time? After the oil towns or boom towns got the oil wells up and running, the towns either disappeared or the single workers moved on and the married people with children sometimes stayed, starting permanent schools, stores etc. Those are the towns we still have. I was wondering if Oiltown was on an official document where info was not provided by the family, or was family lore? That's it for now. Wish I could have helped more. Nova
