Ah. Maybe she knows you better than you think.

Perhaps she wants to keep the flame of jheri curl hatred alive and burning brightly within my breast and the plant is a subtle reminder that we must be ever vigilant against the dreaded jheri curl(and his grease and chemical laden brother the conk).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Has anyone here tried steel cut oatmeal? Has anyone not hated it?

A co-worker has brought me a cup of it, and the cooking instructions sound daunting and unrewarding.

Art Crawl!!!

I've had steel-cut oats and found it not at all difficult.

I possibly didn't do it properly but mostly I put the oats in milk to soak, then put it on a low-heat and found that actually it didn't take them as long to cook as the instructions suggested.

There was an article on it in...the Times, I think, this weekend.

What is steel-cut oatmeal? Is it supposed to better than regular oatmeal? Because regular oatmeal is already better than 98% of all other foodstuffs.

Well, at least talking about the plant here has made me actually go and water it. It might escape it's death sentence yet!

Steel Cut Oatmeal

This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heya kat! At my old job, I had the first plant I ever had that didn't die immediately. I decided it was because my watering schedule was a lot like nature -- sometimes it's dry for a couple of weeks, then it rains a lot all at once....

ita, as a general rule, I think Alton Brown makes everything as complicated as possible.

The recipe I was given at work involved simmering for 45 minutes. Alton's recipe seems like less work.
