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!
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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.

What's the Polish half going to post about?
The other half is American.

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?
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...

ita, my DH loves the Ong Bak movies like whoa.
Huh. I think I will buy the regular oats, then. I like the bigger cut.
I put dried cran, walnuts, a fuckton of cinnamon and some vanilla in with mine, with some brown sugar and I use milk.
I also like raisins and almonds. I use whatever I have. You could add dried fruit or nuts of any type, I think: cherries, blueberries, apples, sunflower seeds, pecans. Some people add a little flaxseed, but I am not that ambitious.

Mom puts some peanut butter in her oatmeal, mostly for the protein but it also tastes good.

It's funny, I buy lots of oats to make muesli, but I never really think to make oatmeal unless I have steel cut.

Good thing you live in a city where you don't need a car, eh?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I love oatmeal, but I'm like Tep and like the whole, rolled oats.
I'm on a rolled oats kick at the moment, but I also adore steel-cut. I have my oatmeal with a wee pinch of salt, a pat of butter and a tablespoon of good, dark maple syrup. Perfection.
