Thursday's Thoughts

Nothing much going on here, so just some thoughts:

(1) I'm on Spring Break! Yes, I have been on "school spring break" all week, so I haven't had classes, but I took Thursday and Friday off this week. I have done an astonishing amount of nothing today! It's been so nice.

(2) Ryan Star is opening for Bon Jovi tonight in San Antonio and I feel sad that I'm not there :-(

(3) Whenever I am watching an entertainment show, reading an entertainment website, or reading a magazine and I don't recognize a particular celebrity, I just assume they are on Glee. 'Cause you know, I'm the only person in America who doesn't watch Glee.

(4) I'm planning a Royal Wedding watch party. It's likely to begin around 4 a.m., so that presents a few challenges. There is an ridiculous lack of British theme party supplies available in this country! I called my go-to party supply store down in Dallas and they came up with a few things like flags, picks, etc., but the best they came up with for napkins was "I am Queen, Get Used to It" napkins. The chick on the phone tried to convince me they'd be "SO CUTE". Ugh! Puuu-leez! Not at my royal wedding watch party! I'm thinking I may need to make a trip over to the British Emporium and see what they've got. Anyone interested in attending my watch party?

(5) Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm totally not wearing any green and didn't even put Lola's St. Patty's Day collar on, but I do have my little garden flags out and my shamrock door welcome sign.

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
