The Onion is at it again on Bonds, although kind of in an indirect way. Sigh, pro sports.

This is another having-trouble-getting-started kind of day. Around lunchtime, I thought some steel-cut oatmeal would cheer me up. It takes about 45 minutes to make, but the results are well worth it. The secret is to toast the oats in butter for a few minutes before you add the boiling water. The longer you toast them, the less they fall apart and the more toasty they taste.

I added my usual granola and grade b maple syrup (the only way to go), but had no buttermilk, so I went with peanut butter instead, not because it was intended as a buttermilk replacement, but because it is delicious.

I think it worked out nicely.
