Bugs

My luck ran out this week and after months of dodging "the stomach bug" that had been going around. Wednesday night (really 2:00 a.m. Thursday morning) the vomiting began. Worse than that though, was the fact that I ran over a 100' temp all day Thursday. I am and always have been really stricken by fever, so that was the worst part for me. I had to miss my classes last night and this morning. I haven't ever missed a class and feel bad about it, but there just wasn't any way I was going to be able to teach those classes!

Wednesday night, Billy and I went and tried out this place in Plano that I heard had fabulous calzones (as good as One Guy in Lubbock we were promised). They were really great (until of course 2:00 a.m. came around!). Prior to going to dinner, Billy and I got to witness a Lola rat hunt. She ran out the back door, saw a rat running along the fence, ran beside him until he got nervous and lost his footing, then he was all hers. She killed him in a second and at least we have progressed to the point that when I say "drop it", she does. Billy was really amazed by the whole thing... he said it was "awesome" and he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't have seen it himself. Who needs a cat when you've got Lola the little vermin hunter!

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
