Oops, forgot to close that. Hopefully I learn how soon.

ION I seemed to have lost my ubber simple, super yummy, one pot no dishes easy cleanup brownie recipe. Plus all I've found are for 9x13 pans, and I have a 9x9 pan. Ack. Silly moving thing.

I have yet to be in a coffee establishment that does not serve other beverages. You can also say "hey, let's go criticize other chefs' desserts. Or alternately, steal their ideas!"

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Nora, AB did toast the oats in butter on the stove top, but he also mentioned putting 'em in the oven as another way to cut down on stove top cooking time, and that is what we had been after. We're hoping to make the steel cut oats we got at the local co-op easier to fix up in the mornings before work.

Barb, thank you for finding that - the directions sound reasonable. So that is what we will do.

Edited because co-op and coop are really not quite the same places.

basically, the night before, Tom toasts the oats in butter and then adds boiling water to it. He covers the pot and we go to bed. This softens the oats up to cook 'em up nice and quick in the morning. I think he just adds some milk to it and brings it up to a boil (there may be some more water added as well).

Works great. Mmm, I may request he do that tonight for breakfast tomorrow!

Erika, that totally sucks. I'm sorry for the bullshit.

Erin, congrats and I hope you get good news on the other 1/2.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Happy birthday Jessica!

Eek, Sox! Sorry things are so rough. Why are there so very many stupid people in this world?

Today most of my appointments canceled so I'm drowning my sorrows by having a lunch date with a friend.

it's not the ones in the wild that bother me. it's the captive ones, what lurk in offices.
