Brandied Irish Oatmeal with Blueberries and Cream

This Oatmeal is just downright decadent! I made it for the first time this summer when Blue and I were camping in South Haven, MI. I prepped the brandy sauce before our trip and pre-measured most of my ingredients. We made this with fresh Blueberries we picked while camping and served it with thick slab-cut bacon cooked in a cast iron skillet over an open fire. D-E-C-A-D-E-N-T!!! Need I say more?
