I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I, too, prefer savory. When it comes to oatmeal, I usually don't eat lunch on days I have it, so the calorie count can bite me.

I hate the taste of artifical sweetners, and never add sugar to tea or coffee. I'll have a vanilla latte or a Coke every couple of weeks.

What I need to watch is fat. I love fat. Gimme some chicken skin, don't trim that pork chop or pot roast, fry that bitch in duck fat -- lay on the grease!

Poot. I was thinking about starting dinner, but my nails are still wet. Maybe if I can chop the vegetables very carefully...

OMG, Leonberger puppy. I've only seen pictures/video of the adults.

We saw one of those at the dog park recently. Like an ewok.

Teppy and Scrappy are me. I live for sugar. I worship it. I crave it. I love it.

My own.

My precious.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, it took me a while to find a non-facebooked raw footage version of that video. Several of the news sites have it, but they cut it, and it's more astonishing watching it just happen, six minutes from dry streets to houses leaving.

Given the choice between something sugary and something savory, I will almost always choose savory. Good when I'm eating a giant pile of spinach. Not so good when it's a giant pile of french fries.

This is me. On the one hand, I've never had a cavity. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure my thighs are about 95% cheese.

My preferred oatmeal is made with salted water and then mixed with toasted almond slivers, dried cranberries, and a pat of butter. Maple syrup is for pancakes.

I'm going to try my oatmeal tomorrow with blueberries and some cream and a touch of raw sugar.

How long does the crock-pot oatmeal last in the fridge? I've got three cups left so a day? two?

Art Crawl!!!

You know, when I make a big pot of oatmeal - I usually freeze it in batches. I've never just kept it in the fridge.

Given that it's just grains and water, and maybe dried fruit and/or nuts, there's nothing to really "go bad". I've certainly kept it for days. To reheat, I generally add a bit of milk when I heat it back up.
