There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

"We have trust issues." Mylar

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!

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

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.

That's crazy talk, Lee.

I pretty much water the monster jade plant that came with the office every friday.

It really needs to be repotted, but I'm kind of afraid to move it, as its armsbranches are coming close to suspending the pot in midair and I'd probably break a lot of them.

I know pruning=good, I'm just resistant to it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have steel cut oatmeal sitting in my kitchen, but I never make it because of the long prep time. When it occurs to me that it would taste good, I'm hungry right then, y'know? I think I originally bought it to be an ingredient rather than a meal, though.
