I made another new recipe by The Real Food Dietitians - Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal. It is very good, but so far I think my favorite is the pumpkin one.
I don't know how I get into such conversations, but I do, and I did. I not only entertained the dentist at my last appointment, but the dental assistant as well.
It was freezing cold out, so the conversation started there.
I was talking about tending the hens, which led to talking about dressing for the weather. I mentioned that I always take my cell phone and a house key with me, when I go outside for anything. They both giggled at my entertainment, when I told them I was once locked out of the house by one of the dogs, in the heat of summer, and had one dog with me. I had no cell phone, no key and we live in the boonies. Literally.
I guess I'm traumatized enough to continue to carry both a phone and key after that happened. Glad I could make them laugh.
Winter Tea
I recently shared a link for a seasonal stress tea recipe via Mennonites Can Cook blogspot. Well, they shared another recipe the other day for "Winter Blues" tea recipe. It looks interesting. Here is the link: Winter Blues Tea. I think I have all the ingredients to try this, other than the lemongrass and rose buds. I wonder if I could use my lemon balm? Is there a big difference in lemon balm and lemongrass? I used to have lemon grass planted in a pot, but it has since died off.
