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...
