I ate the other half of the batch this morning, and it was just as good as yesterday. So sitting made in the fridge for 24 hours extra doesn't hurt it at all. In fact, I liked the walnuts better this time, they seemed more a part of the oatmeal than something just tossed on top ( Read more... )

Usually I eat the same breakfast every day: A Quest protein bar. They're very yummy, but quite expensive, and as I like to also have one in the evening after dinner, I somehow got up to eating two of them in a day.

Listen up, brain. I know DST kicked our ass this year, but that should be responsible for ONE hour of lost sleep, not FIVE.
