[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Next time email the clotted cream also - kinda lubes things up.

I was going to e-mail it after the scone. Apparently I should have e-mailed the clotted cream *first.*

t makes note for next time

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I'm having a hard time replacing pasta. The kids love it in all its forms and they don't like the wheat free version. We're doing more rice these days.

Laura, many many happy returns of the day. You are my first Buffista, and what an awesome introduction to such great people. I hope you feel loved and happy today and all year.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nice couch!

Mmm, clotted cream.

So I know I have a cold, but you wouldn't THINK I'd need a two hour nap in the middle of the day, when I got 13 hours of sleep last night. Apparently, you'd be wrong, though. Bleah. I have gotten NOTHING done today, which means I have to work really hard starting...um...in a few minutes.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I will never, ever, get back the hour I just spent in a "how to fill our your perfomance evaluation forms" meeting.

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

Frak. Long post got eaten.

Teppy, yes, please, on the recipes. Profile addy works if folks hereabouts don't want wheat-free oatish recipes. Also? Mmmmm, clotted creammmm.

We're doing a lot of rice, too. But somehow rice&cheese just doesn't ease the mac&cheese jones. I'm going to try the quinoa pasta tossed with a little coarse black pepper and sea salt, a dollop of cottage cheese and some minced garlic, though. I know it won't be the same as egg noodles, but damn, I miss that dish.

Bev, here's the oat scones recipe:

Oat Scones

1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups regular oatmeal
1/2 c. plain yogurt
1 egg
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 packets (1 TBS.) Splenda/sugar/fructose*
1 tsp. cinammon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice**
1 c. oat bran

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat milk til scalded.

Add oatmeal to the milk; stir; and let sit for a few minutes.

Spray an oven-proof large pie-pan (9-10") with non-stick spray.

Add yogurt to the oat mixture, along with egg and applesauce.

In another container, mix: baking soda; baking powder; salt; splenda/sugar/fructose; cinnamon; pumpkin pie spice; and oat bran.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and pour into the pie pan (the dough will start to bubble and rise) and quickly put into the preheated oven.

Bake approximately 30 minutes, or until browned.

After removing from oven, let sit a few minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Let sit 5 minutes, then cut into 8ths.

--------

*The choice of sweetening agent is up to you -- people on WW tend towards Splenda, so as to be sugar-free; WW Core plan allows people to use fructose; and if you don't care so much about the sugar-free-ness (after all, it's only 1 Tbs.), just use sugar.

**I imagine you could substitute nutmeg or some other spice, or just omit this entirely.
