But, yeah. Naked Mole Rats are pretty cool.
My new project: a documentary about a Naked Mole Rat Irish folk band. Done entirely in robotic topiary and narrated by Martin Scorsese.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
In fact, I cook it with less water so it's more oat-y an textured.
I use the full amount of water, but cook it a little longer so the end result is thicker. I like it to be able to hold up a spoon.
Porridge in general I have with a little butter and salt, sometimes cream instead, sometimes plain, very rarely with something sweet.

I love oatmeal, but I'm like Tep and like the whole, rolled oats. In fact, I cook it with less water so it's more oat-y an textured.
And by the time I've put in butter and maple syrup I might as well be eating pancakes, I guess. But heart healthy pancakes.
As far as I know, nutritionally there is very little difference between steel cut and rolled oats. Some trace minerals and such lost in the processing, but both are whole grains with the same amount of fiber and protein. You should happily eat the one you prefer.
And real maple syrup has fewer calories and more minerals than honey.
Finally, fat is not the enemy.

It's probably not a good sign that, when I brought my car in for service this morning, they started adding up the cost of repairs and then asked me if I'd considered buying a new car, right?

Oh, and since billytea's antennae shot up when I mentioned Naked Mole Rats, I should note that today is Platypus Day on the Disney Channel.
Happy Platypus Day, billytea!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Steel cut oats simmering on the stove. I went the overinvolved CI way, including toasting the grains beforehand. I love oats in all its forms, but I really really like steel cut. I wish it weren't so time-consuming to make. But I'm making plenty of it, so I will be able to reheat a few servings.
Watching Ong Bak 2. I'm not entirely clear on whether or not there is a plot, but I'm not overly bothered.

I'm right there with you, and I haven't even taken it in yet! Well, tuneup, clutch, probably need new tires, possibly time to replace the brake pads...
