Washing Elephants

Well, it's still HOT! I'm sure you are sick of hearing about it, but I'm sick of it being HOT!

Today, I ventured out into the heat to take my friend Billy to lunch for his birthday. I told him he could choose where we were going (since it was his birthday and all) and I would try really hard not to veto his choice. He speculated this meant I would only veto about 11 of his choices instead of the usual 20 vetos, but actually, he selected Pappadeaux, so there was NO veto!

On another note, I found a deal on my favorite cherries at Sam's. I LOVE Ranier cherries, but they usually cost a mint. I found a 2 lb package at Sam's that cost about the same or a little less than 1 lb. usually costs.
Look at these babies!
JOY!!! These perfect cherries bring me joy.
What doesn't bring me joy is laundry. As usual, there is plenty of that to go around. Today I decided that some of Lola's toys needed washing. Specifically, her 3 identical pink elephants (though I think she finds each one to be very unique because she always insists on having all 3 out at once) and her little mini (a little dog that looks like her).
Since Lola's babies were being washed, I got a help with the laundry today.
Keep going, you are not finished Lola
*yawn* Oh Lola, you can't be tired already!
Yep, she's tired already. So much for the help!
Clean elephants = Happy puppy

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
