Have you all noticed that I am doing NaBloPoMo again, for the 4th year in a row?  After posting every day in July, and being told that quantity does not equal quality, I have been trying harder to be interesting and funny this month.  SO interesting, that I already had to delete an entire post due to the fact that it was about oatmeal, and was very boring.  You know the phrase, “You had me at hello?”  Well, I had the opposite feeling about my post.  It was like, “You lost me at: is making steel cut oats with all milk instead of water too decadent?”***  Oatmeal and decadent do not belong in the same sentence.

Then, I forgot I had deleted the post, and when Dave was making his oatmeal today without measuring anything I was like, “Yup – that’s what I was talking about.  Playing fast and loose you with your oatmeal.”   Dave just looked at me.  I sobbed and said, “No one reads my blog anymore.   Not even you.  Boo hoo hoo hoo.”

Then I remembered that I deleted that post and I said, “Never mind.  It’s just weird to me that you don’t measure anything.  Isn’t it always too dry or too watery?”  (and by “watery” I mean “milky”.) Dave said, “No, Goldilocks, it isn’t.”

See what I did there?  I turned a boring post about oatmeal into something mildly interesting.

The end.

*** But can you make steel cut oats with all milk?  I think I don’t like steel cut oats as much because I make my rolled oats with milk.  Steel cut oats recipes are all mostly water with some cream or buttermilk and they taste watery.  GAH. I can’t stop myself from talking about oats.  And trolling for comments.
