You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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?

Lee - on WAT the address in her notebook had an apt # with it. It is a stupid thing for me to be bothered by, still, I'm bothered.

My mom eats steel cut oats, she soaks them overnight. I have re-heated them fine. I have some but have yet to cook them myself. I like them fine, better for you than regular oats.

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

Ryan Reynolds and Thomas Jane both consumed steel-cut as part of their action movie workout regimens.

I am childishly entranced with this, although neither of them kept it up after the movies -- so it's probably better to use TV stars as unrealistic models.

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

msbelle, I just mentally translated that to suite/office number, once they showed up at the clinic. I could have been fanwanking/handwaving a little too much though.

I can't even.

Yeah. How unusual for the irish. Take something simple, perfect and life-affirming, that the Scots are doing right and make it drudgery, misery and eternal.

Example: hating the English.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I put some steel-cut oats in a gift basket for DH's grandmother for Christmas. I thought they sounded tasty--but didn't realize they were such a pain in the ass to cook.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I don't believe I've ever had steel cut oats. I make the 5-minute (as opposed to instant) Quaker oats pretty often. Sometimes I mix them with peanut butter. Other times I'll sautee half an apple with some cinnamon, cloves, and butter, and then mix that with the oatmeal. The latter tastes better, but the former stays with me longer (probably due to the fat and protein in the peanut butter).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

School? What school? I.e., I've been on vacation for WEEKS already and have more weeks yet to go. Life is good, although I am really incredibly accomplished at doing nothing.

Oats rock. I'm so psyched for Monday brekkie.
