Way to go, Connie! Sounds tasty.
I do have chili in the freezer, hooray!
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Brava, Connie!
I took a nap and vacuumed. Which is something.
Later I will make steel-cut oatmeal risotto with mushrooms and broccoli, which is very tasty (especially if you use chicken broth) and not too unhealthy.

Ooh, that sounds great! Someday I will be able to get oatmeal back into my diet.

Because books.
Oh god, flea. Such a pain.
We're having pancakes and bacon for dinner because I'm grumpy.

Sorry to hear that, flea.
I hope that helps, Amy. Nom.

Ew, what a PITA, flea. Dang.
we both placed 16th in our age groups, and under 200 overall, out of 2200 women, yay!)
Wow, that's very impressive!!
Also, I blame all of you for the fact that I ended up having an empanada for lunch. It was supposed to be chorizo, but I'm pretty sure he messed up and gave me a chicken curry one instead.

Nora:
Get a big wok or deep frying pan. Put 1 cup of steel-cut oatmeal in it with some olive oil & heat for a few minutes, stirring it around so it doesn't burn. Then add a chopped onion, some garlic, 2 cups of asparagus or broccoli, and a cup of mushrooms (chopped roughly, not diced, because they will cook for a while). Then stir in vegetable (or chicken) broth, 1/4 cup at time, over medium-low heat. Stir pretty much constantly. As the broth is absorbed, add more, until the oatmeal is tender and kind of creamy. It took about half an hour, and the first time I made it I used a quart of chicken broth--I think the mushrooms add liquid, too. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
It was much more flavorful than I expected, and makes a lot--easily 4-5 meals for me. I will probably freeze the leftovers.
