I have made pie crusts today too. One seems too wet, the other too crumbly. I am expecting too much, but I am hoping they will roll out like a dream like the pie crust I made here at Xmas. (I am at my parents' house.)
Also, My parents, after living in this house for 39 years, have put a shower head adapter into their old fashioned bathtub. It was so great, and their tub is so flat to stand in. Why didn't they do this 39 years ago? I had many years of washing my hair craning to get my head under a tap. And quick baths in an inch of water.
You people who eat oatmeal, do you do something to add protein? All-carb breakfasts leave me hungry again an hour later.
Steel-cut oatmeal is a more complex grain than rolled oats, so it digests more slowly, thus keeping you full longer. That said, I usually add chopped pecans to mine when I put it in the crock-pot. Nuts have protein, right? And maple syrup. And raisins.
I cook my hot cereal in soy milk instead of water.
Trader Joe’s has a quick-cooking steel cut oatmeal.

Nothing protein-y in the oatmeal itself; I just generally eat a handful of almonds with (or after) the oatmeal.
I usually buy the Bob's Red Mill 5-grain hot cereal. I like the taste better than plain oatmeal, and it's got flax seed in it, too.
I just ate TJ's steel cut oats for lunch, AIWFG!
Still in line. It's like an episode of Futurama. But overall, everyone's in good spirits and the people watching is excellent.
Jesse, I'm not sure what the Catholic school L&O thing is as I never watch L&O. Also, love the J. Petermen dress and the idea of the tea party.
I have to give a speech about the NICU to a group of Junior League women. Can't figure out how to do pictures as it is at someone's house.
In other news, we went to the Japanese American National Museum to see Kip Fulbeck's exhibit on Mixed Race kids. Noah went to a photo shoot for the book, but we hadn't heard anything. He wasn't in the exhibit, but
he is in the book. The shoot was over a year ago and Noah still wears that shirt and those pants! Funny to me.
K asked me if I thought being mixed race would be a big thing for Noah and I pointed out there are so many other larger identity shapers that it's likely being mixed race will be lower on the list (twin brother, twin brother of special needs sister, lesbian moms, etc.)
