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.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Lee and Jessica are obviously smoking the bad crack. Oatmeal is the bomb. (Although I will cut Lee a little slack because she does recognize that bacon is of the devil)
Being crock pot-less, the steel cut oatmeal would have to be pretty damn spectacular to make me spend that much time preparing it.
And Jesse! Yay, hi. How is school?
