Veal and Rabbits and Colloquialisms
My boss bought me coffee. A “veal” cappochino. I think he was getting me back for how much I tease him about his bright orange floral gym bag.
While walking to the bus, I passed a guy who was peering into a coffee shop through a set of binoculars. When I walked by, he turned to me and emphatically asked, “Do you have any rabbits???”
On the bus yesterday, I ran into a cast member. On the way home, I ran into a housemate.
People at my work (mainly David and Paul) use really funny sayings. Such as: “I’ve got a fish to fry,” and “I’m going to eat the frog,” and “One sandwhich short of a sack lunch.” This amuses me so much that I have begun to compile a list on my computer. Dolcie made fun of me because of how excited I was about this new side-project. It goes along nicely with my recent obsession of collecting words for my personal lexicon, all organized in a black plastic recipe file box.
Today I made flaxseed onion bread and agave cranberry/apple cookies.
I can’t wait for Thanksgiving!

Ah-Mazing Oatmeal
Oatmeal doesn’t have to be boring. If put together properly, it can be a meal in itself!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup soy milk or water
1 apple, cut into small bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon agave syrup
Peanuts
Combine the oats and soy milk/water into a saucepan over low-medium heat. When it starts to cook, add the flaxseed, cinnamon, and agave syrup. Stir occasionally. Once the oats begin to absorb the soymilk/water, add the apple chunks. When the apples are cooked and the consistency has become more substantial, remove the oatmeal from heat and let cool for a moment. Pour into a bowl, top off with peanuts and violla! Delicious, exciting, healthy oatmeal! For a more tropical appeal, try bananas, coconut shavings, and sliced almonds instead of apples, cinnamon, and peanuts.
