Confusion

I have this t-shirt that I wear often...

It's not too thick, but it's not too thin...
It doesn't fit tight, but it isn't voluminous either...
and it goes with black yoga-type capris that are comfy to knock around in.

Lately, I have encountered people who love to comment on my shirt, only their comments are, well, a little off.  Let me give you some examples.

A couple of weeks ago, I ran into Tom Thumb and a lady checking me out says "Ole' Miss fan, huh?".  I register what she says.  Make no sense of it.  Then realize that she is talking about my shirt, so I say "No, Texas Tech".  She looks at me perplexed.  I walk off.

For the record:  This is Ole' Miss's mascot
This is not the same as Raider Red.

Example 2:  I'm in line paying out at Freebirds.  Guy checking me out says, "You know I see kids come through all the time that have no idea about Looney Toons".  To which I think to myself What is this guy on?  Why is he talking about Looney Toons?  I guess I looked confused because he then said, "That's a cool shirt with Yosemite Sam on it".  To which I reply, It's not Yosemite Sam, It's Raider Red.  You know...Texas Tech.  He says "Huh.  It looks like Yosemite".  I walk off.

For anyone confused...

Let me introduce you to Raider Red...

He's one of our mascots out at Texas Tech.  Not to be confused with the Masked Rider
So, if you see me in my Raider Red t-shirt.  Feel free to limit your comments to the following:

(1) Give me a guns up (see above photo)
(2) Say, "Wreck 'em Tech"
(3) Say "Nice Shirt"
(4) Say Nothing at all

Thank you  for your assistance!

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

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
