Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.

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.

Ooh, ooh! I learned how to debone Cornish hens in my team-building corporate cooking class a couple weeks ago! It was really fun.
What percentage do you use?
Usually 1-2 cups, depending on the size of the recipe. I aim for about 1/3 oat flour, but I'm not going for low-gly, just tasty.
Speaking of cookies, my sister just emailed me a seriously decadent looking recipe for Brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodles. Forget about low-gly, this looks like a sugar coma in the making.
well crap, it is becoming clear that I have more work than I can finish today. And it looks like the weather tonight will not hit us anyway, so no real chance of getting an extra off. poop.
At least I have cranked out a good chunk.
I know no one else still watches Glee (wise choice), but did we know that Ioan Gryffud could sing?
Jobma to Consuela!!
Woo, there's nothing like being the only subject-matter expert who isn't on vacation this week.
Well, it was just a screening interview with a recruiter. Went okay. Guess I'll hear something in a week or so, if they want to bring me in to talk to a hiring manager.
Bah.
