Now tagless for your comfort.

I think Owen just pulled a Nilly. DH is playing Uno with the kids at the end of the table and Owen had a 7, 6 and a 1. He looked up and said, this is a Fact Family. (factors?). He proceeded to tell me all the ways they relate in addition and subtraction.

He's already ahead of me in math.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I guess you're not doing the crossword tournament?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sadly, I'm not. Boooo.

But google suggests there at least used to be a pattie place in the nearby train station, so I will totally swing by there soon.

What are these "patties"? Not hamburger, I take it.

I eat my vegetables and get my exercise and take my vitamins, and I even got a flu shot!

I know, right? I still have the plague!

Jamaican meat-filled pastry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Again proving my theory that every cuisine's version of "bread with meat in it" is awesome.

Totally! I love them all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like a good theory. I think I will test it as often as possible.

Dana,

Wheatberries (and kamut) don't need an overnight presoak, but if you do, you can reduce the time spent boiling them. What has worked for us is to use a slow cooker for wheatberries overnight. Otherwise the 1:4 ratio means we are boiling FOREVER.

In terms of overnight steel cut oatmeal, I boil it in a pain then turn it off and let it sit overnight to absorb the rest of the water. I also do a 1:4 ratio of grain to liquid on these. In the AM, I will turn the flame under it for like 3 minutes to heat and drop in frozen fruit.
