thoughts on tv {so far}

So have y'all started on the new premiers? I have been enjoying the premiers so far (of course it's only Monday). I spent a large part of last week watching Ken Burns' "The Roosevelts". That was a 14 hour commitment, so I really feel like I have accomplished something there.

Last week "The Mindy Project" premiered. It was awesome. Man, oh man, do I love that show.

Last night was a big night of premiers for me... 60 minutes, Madam Secretary, and The Good Wife. CBS drives me nuts on Sunday nights. They never budget enough time for stupid football. Then it jacks with my DVR, and Drives. Me. Nuts.

Anyway, I was very excited for 60 minutes. Big. Fan. I have a friend who is also a big fan, so we can always discuss the episodes. Total Nerd Alert.

Madame Secretary was off to a decent start. I think it has potential. It has great actors. I just wish they hadn't dumbed it down so much, and I also wish that there weren't so many inaccuracies. I don't mind not working my brain for an hour, but I don't want my brain to hurt for an hour due to the inaccurate depiction of the government offices. So I'm willing to give it a go, I just hope that it gets better.

The Good Wife... what in the world? Holy moly. This show is good. It's just so darn good.

I'm looking forward to more previews. I'm just about beside myself because Thursday is the "Big" night for premiers and Texas Tech plays football. Who in the world scheduled that? I mean, good grief!

Any thoughts on previews you guys have seen? Or am looking forward to?

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
