And down comes the cowboy!

Today, we took down the cowboy. See, we had a big, brick cowboy over the mantle, with unfortunate Dorf-like proportions. Since it's been raining since... Forever... It seemed like a good project. It took much less time than expected---only an hour---because, as it turns out, the 400 pound brick cowboy was just glued to the drywall! Squirrelly!!!!!

Also today, two new discoveries. Why, oh why, have I never sprinkled Garam masala on popcorn before?!

And, British flapjacks. Fundamentally rice krispie treats, made with oats:

1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar. (or 1/2 cup white+1 T molasses, if you happen to have used up all your brown sugar!)
1/4 cup honey
2.5 cups oats

Mix the first three in a saucepan on medium-low heat until a smooth sauce.
Take off heat, stir in oats.
Pour into a greased 9-inch metal cake pan.
Bake at 350 for 25 min or til browned.

Wowza! That's a good oats recipe!
