msbelle, I was all worried and I kept thinking, WAIT, my links included nothing oogy!

Whew. Glad it wasn't content based.

I'm having steel cut oatmeal with maple and mango this morning. Perfect for rainy days.

What is even happening?

West Coastistas, don't forget (like I did) that deb is going to be on the CBS Morning show. If you want to catch her in the hands of David Evangelista, set those VCRs or TiVos before you leave for work.

Have been dying for steel cut oats ever since the convo the other day, although each time I remind myself to buy them, I then crack up, remembering JohnSweden's comments.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Want oatmeal. Am trapped between tv and computer till after the Deb makeover airs.

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

I was so knocked out last night that I forgot to get the steel cut oats started. I will have to do so tonight.

All the oatmeal discussions had me standing in the cereal aisle last night, contemplating purchase. Which I didn't, because while I like it, I rarely eat it anymore and do not have the functionality in the morning for anything more complex than my coffee and certainly can't contemplate eating anything that...well, nutritionally useful before noon.

My hands and feet are chilling. This is annoying. Anyone have a beverage they need to cool down?

We often have oatmeal for a light supper, when neither of us has brain power to cook something complicated, like adding stuff to noodles.

sara, go run your hands under hot water. My mom always told me to wash dishes when I complained of being cold. It works.

My mom always told me to wash dishes when I complained of being cold. It works.

It would certainly break me of complaining I was cold.

I've done that even though the water available can only loosely be called hot. Now, if I could sit and do my work with my hands under water, that would be great. Unfortunately, not quite an option. This is a winter is STUPID issue.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

My easy cook supper is scrambled eggs. For some reason I find them more acceptable for dinner than oatmeal. Oatmeal is just too firmly ensconced in my brain as "breakfast only."
