Uncooked oats: For the days when you'd like to eat like a virtuous horse. Inspired by Mark Bittman’s opinion piece on oatmeal in Tuesday’s New York Times, we experimented with “instant” oats for breakfast this morning with 1/2 cup thick rolled oats, a sprinkle of brown suger (1/2 tsp in my case; 1 [...] Hot Tea & Slippers: The secrets to surviving Minnesota winter 2010-11. This blog has been neglected for way too long.

(Those months were also filled with [...] The local food trend is growing like crazy, and that’s great to see; but I think it should go one step further: I think we all should get to know our food producers and feel comfortable with their practices.
