It's that time of the year again folks:
When will I learn from my past mistakes?

Showing Signs
Earlier this week I saw a panhandler holding 2 signs that read:
"Hungry it's summer let's bbq"
"Do black panthers scratch and bite?"
I liked his spirit in the first sign. But what did the second one mean?

Feel your Oats
Now that it's almost summer, don't you want a steaming hot breakfast in the morning? Well I sure do! Here's how:
Use steel cut oat meal, it's so much better. Those rolled old fashion ones are good for cookies but not for breakfast.
Add 1 cup of steel cut oat meal to the slower cooker. Then add 4 cups water or milk (I've tried both):
Cover and turn on low and let it do it's thing for 8 hours. I always do this before I go to bed. Nothing gets me out of bed faster than potentially cleaning out burnt oatmeal from a slow cooker.
And wake up to yummy gooey oatmeal. I've dressed mine up with maple syrup, blueberries, but my favorite is sliced strawberries and brown sugar sprinkled on top:
Slow Cooker Oatmeal
What you will need:
- slow cooker

Purim Luck
A couple months ago I found a reusable bag full of these in celebration of Purim (it's a very Jewish area):
The bag has since been lost (I hate when I leave them in the shopping cart) but I did learn about this holiday:
Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.
It's basically a Jewish Mardis Gras. Minus the cause for bead throwing.
Anyway, the recipe above is for hamentaschen. It's a jam filled pocket. I haven't tried it yet but that's what the round cookie cutter is for. The biscotti and granola bar didn't stand a chance.
Have you found anything surprisingly fun and educational and possibly edible?
