Oatmeal Custard

My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. this recipe was posted in a september 1997 edition of the houston chronicle. it came from brennan's restaurant in houston, which is currently being restored after being destroyed in a fire during hurricane ike. this delightful recipe turns your familiar breakfast oatmeal into a rich and creamy dessert! raspberries and blackberries are used here but you could probably use strawberries or blueberries too.
