Yay for intellectual ferocity. It’s been a joy virtually watching Matilda grow up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I need to tell someone how perfect my steel-cut oatmeal is this morning.

You know how cats and dogs stick their faces in jars trying to get all of the good stuff? That's me right now.

Our wings are not tired.
Perfect oatmeal is indeed a good way to start the day.

Nice! I discovered steel cut oats way too late in life. A lot of my mornings could've been way better, is what I'm saying.

(I prefer rolled oats to steel cut. Not worth the extra cost, IMHO)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I also prefer rolled oats, generally, but congrats, Dana! A perfect breakfast is a thing of beauty.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I like the texture of rolled oats better than steel cut oats, but if someone made me steel cut oats I wouldn't turn them down.
Today's mystery: why is the cat walking around yodeling mournfully? The reasons could include (but are not limited to): he is a cat, he saw a bug he can't get, he saw another cat outside, he expected to see another cat outside but there was no cat, he ate all his wet food and now it is gone, 11:15 a.m. is yodeling time, no apparent reason, and he knows it drives me nuts when he yodels for no apparent reason.

All of the above?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Y'all can have all the oats.
(And all the raisins, not that they were mentioned. And especially all the oatmeal raisin cookies.)
I prefer grits, myself. With butter, and a little soy sauce.
