Happy National Coming Out Day!
I recently discovered that oatmeal can be made from oats. I know it sounds common sensical, but it never occured to me that oats could be attained outside of the small brown Quaker oatmeal packets, and actually used to... make stuff. You don't even have to BUY the packets. Just dry oats (see the package your own food section of your grocery store - the part without the little kids sticking their hands in candy) and water.
And what's even weirder than being able to make your own oatmeal - it actually tastes good. I've never been a fan of oatmeal. It's weird looking, messy, and only tastes good smothered in butter, cinnamon and sugar, in my past experience. But the stovetop oatmeal I made from oats and water, with a little cinnamon sprinkled in after, is delicious. It makes absolutely no sense.
I made a birthday cake for an RA today, vegan but obviously containing processed yummies such as sugar, so I couldn't eat it. It was the ultimate challenge not to lick the batter from the bowl and spoon, but accomplished with relatively little whining. And I only had to walk out of the kitchen to take a break from the temptation twice.
I did however, instinctively lick a spoon with icing when I was done frosting the cake. I immediately realized my absent minded error and attempt to wipe the icing off my tongue before swallowing. But from what I tasted, that crap is way too sweet.
Sugar addict progress.
