Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Want me to look?

No, don't look! Whatever you do, don't throw me into the pile of oaty chocolatey cookies, Steph! Please don't!

OMIGOD, GIMME DEM NOW.

Or, at your convenience, should you not be as digitally obsessive as -t and me. (She does set a high bar, doesn't she?) Thanks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am not sure how many of you have seen Kanye's Bound 2 music video with Kim K. It is OVER THE TOP.

Well, James Franco and Seth Rogan have done a shot for shot remake of the video that I really appreciated.

It it because I actively decided I didn't need a hat when I left this morning that it is snowing like balls right now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

ita, I can't remember; do you use coconut sugar or palm sugar? This recipe suggests coconut sugar, but I think it could be tweaked to use a different sweetener: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Maybe I cut off too much hair?

Looks right to me.

Coconut sugar, Steph, but I have been operating like they're the same thing, since my bag says coconut palm sugar. Well, the only time that'd have affected me was dinner Friday, and I got out of it clear enough.

Thanks for the recipe! I wonder how much oat flour 3/4 cups of oats blended makes? I was gonna go straight there...well, all the cookies so far are experiments, so...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I regularly sub in a bunch of oat flour when I make chocolate chip cookies because it makes them extra delicious.

I am a ball of free floating anxiety today. Maybe because the day began with dropping off the car at the body shop as I was in a fender bender last week and needed to get the car fixed in the time frame allotted by the insurance company? Who knows. But dang, hard to focus when I feel this stressed out.

What percentage do you use? I've managed to find some detailed discussion about the baking properties of spelt flour, but not about oats. Recipes imply it can be 100% in some scenarios, but I don't know which. I do know you need to use more if you're subbing it as a thickener.

I bought a Cornish hen yesterday. Why the holy hell did I do that??? Ah, well, off to the recipes.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

You can substitute 100% oat flour in any recipe that isn't yeast-raised (ie where you don't need gluten development), but I find it tends to be crumbly and a bit dry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I bought a Cornish hen yesterday. Why the holy hell did I do that??? Ah, well, off to the recipes.

Ooh, ooh! I learned how to debone Cornish hens in my team-building corporate cooking class a couple weeks ago! It was really fun.
