We laugh about his stupidity. It is really dangerous to laugh. I am convinced twitler is NOT stupid. Ignorant, but not stupid. He has a plan. His comments are aimed at encouraging his racist base. His antics are carefully designed to remove our focus from one divisive move to the next outrageous stunt. He is using a laser pointer and laughing at all the “cute kittens” falling over themselves to chase the red dot. He is removing as many department heads as possible to gain power. He has a plan folks. He is not stupid. He is ignorant, divisive and EVIL.

Missing Oatmeal?
I am SO excited. It is amazing how difficult things can lead to a new idea. Being grain-free has been surprisingly easy for me, with one exception. Breakfast. I like eggs – just not in the morning. I have been making do by eating dinner leftovers or yogurt with honey and chopped nuts. I really miss oatmeal. Yes – it is gluten free, but it is a grain, so I need to stay away from it.
Well – I just had dental surgery and am on a soft-food diet. While grocery shopping for something – ANYTHING – to vary my diet I found this. Hodgson Mill Gluten Free BUCKWHEAT Creamy Hot Cereal. Yay!! In spite of its name, buckwheat is NOT a grain. The only other ingredient is ground flax seeds.
I made it this morning following the directions for the microwave. It can also be cooked on the stove. It was delicious. I added a little honey. I also used a mix of heavy cream and water to add richness. Yum!! Next time I plan to use some maple syrup and see how that tastes.
So there is a bright side to dental surgery after all. Hopefully I will make more discoveries. I probably will be able to go on a more varied diet in a week or so. The whole process will take a minimum of 4 months – so hopefully there will be some more good finds on this long road!
