Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

I hadn't actually scrolled down before. If you have a crock pot, that seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

But I still laugh remembering my mother calling me with an emergency tone in her voice to tell me that crepes are not the big fucking deal (her words) Alton was making them out to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cook's Illustrated did an oatmeal test a while back, and concluded that steel-cut kicks the collective asses of other oatmeals out there, and is therefore worth the extra time/effort. Not being a fan of oatmeal in any form, I have yet to confirm this in my own kitchen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's crazy talk, Lee.

You could be right. I also think bacon=teh gross, so most people don't agree with me when it comes to breakfast food.

Ha! At least Jess agrees with me.

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

You know, the only e-mails I get that suggest I get a better e-mail program are spams. What precisely is my motivation, then, to heed their terse admonition?

I think I'll try the crock oatmeal -- how does it reheat?

I'm bored. Can someone make the afternoon go faster?

You could take a nap, Sue.

Ooh, I think I'll have a BLT for lunch. Possibly with avocado, if it's ripe. MMMMMM.

My boss might have something to say about that.

I just found my favorite survey comment yet. :

it would be nice if upgrades to the system/database could be carried out without downtime of the [xxx]

The [xxx] is composed of the system hardware, software and databases, as well as the raw data. It's like asking for the text of a manuscript that's in a word file on a computer even when the power is off.
