good weekend. :)

Saturday we had Indian food and ice cream with Littleredhead and Groundctrl - which seems to have become our yearly tradition around the Curtis Library Book Sale in Brunswick. Always awesome; my only regret of the day was having to part from them.

But part we did, so that we could go on to accomplish Many Things, which mostly involved buying stuff for the new place... starting with a few CDs at Bull Moose Music. :) So now we have second hand Led Zepplin (Physical Graffiti, which both Eor and I used to have copies of and lost) and Shonen Knife (Genki Shock - a completely random pick of mine because they had a song on their called "S*P*A*M" and I want to know if that's a cover of "Spam" by Save Ferris). (At the book sale we got some Weird Al Yankovic and Soul Music as read by Tony Robinson, along with... well, a LOT of books. I can't list them off, but I know I went through the Sci-Fi section like a tornado.)

My unruly memory has also made a blur of what we bought and what we've been getting done, but I know it's a lot. I know we didn't get home until 7pm on Saturday, with armloads of stuff, and we stayed in mostly on Sunday, getting things put away and sorted out, erecting more shelves, etc. Slowly this place grows more like a home.

Today is my final day for getting the old place cleaned, so I have to be motivated and organized. A lot to ask, seeing as I did 'motivated' all day yesterday, and doing it two days in a row is usually completely out of the question for me.

The 'music' listed below is actually a lie, at this point - it's what I was listening to Saturday night when I started this post. Then I realized it was 10pm and I was falling asleep.

Whi is it that sometimes Firefox asks me if I want to save the tabs I'm working with and sometimes it just warns me that I'm about to close all my tabs? Is there any way to encourage it or fool it into letting me save the tabs for my next session?

Oh, I forgot! I got myself some steel-cut oats, the type that take a half hour of simmering to cook. I got them because I wanted to make cookies or scones or something nice, lumpy, foodlike and baked (but not overly sweet) to munch on with tea. But, the only recipe I've found thus far was on the back of another steel cut oats package which claimed you could cook their product in only five minutes, yet gave no explanation as to how this was possible. If those oats cook in five minutes, though, I'm not sure I could use exactly the same recipe for the ones which take a half hour. Possibly I could, but just leave them soaking overnight in the fridge? Anyhow, I didn't buy that package, I bought the half-hour type. Which were much more expensive. Mainly, I suppose, I bought them because they had the lovely tin. I figured even if I didn't buy more oats to refill the tin, I'd like to use it for something else.

Anyway, my point being: Share with me your recipes for baked goods made with steel cut oats!
