Yah I love that irish oatmeal but it's even better with a big slab of irish butter melting in the middle.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Oooh, since you're talking about oatmeal, maybe one of you can answer a baking-with-oats question! I want to make some oat muffins (prolly using this recipe, but substituting other dried fruit for the raisins), but we don't have any milk in the house. Heavy cream, yes. Milk, no. Could I just dilute the cream with water? Or will that do something wonky during the baking?

Jilli, that's totally what I'd do, but I have no idea if it would do something wonky. It would become one of my many culinary experiments.

You could just add the cream as-is and (I think) all it will do is make your cookies taste richer.

Oh, it would do that, and be very yummy. But oh-so bad for us, and I'm trying to at least wave in the direction of healthy muffin baking.

You could cut down on whatever other shortening is in there. You can substitute butter fat.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am making brownies now. I blame you all. And the angered weather gods who have made the outside cold and white.

Damn. Now I want brownies. Or muffins. Or potatoes. Or oatmeal.

Jilli, you should be able to do that without a problem. I do that kind of thing all the time.

Oh, and in semi-related news, it can snow here now. I just bought snow boots at the end-of-the-season (what?) sale at Sketchers.
