But on reflection, I guess I use as many oats as will fit comfortably in my cookie sheet (which, luckily, has taller sides than most), but not so many as to make rearranging them as they toast impossible. Oil: not a lot. Just enough to hit more or less all the oats. I'd guess that for half a cannister of oats I put in 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil, but I just glug it in there and don't measure anything. Honey: doesn't really matter--it's not strictly necessary unless you want your granola to clump, which I don't, so I'd say honey 'to taste.' <BR/><BR/>What I don't think I mentioned in the post is that I put a little of the soaking water from the dried fruit in, maybe 1/4 cup or so, to moisten the whole thing so it doesn't get too dry before it toasts. You could also use some kind of sweetened liquid for this in addition to or instead of the honey. Orange juice works well, but I'd imagine that even Coke, if that's all you had on hand, would be fine. Or plain water. Just not milk or motor oil or anything like that :-)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815494575119528277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294743887544399032.post-56485148580246338642008-04-14T05:53:00.000-05:002008-04-14T05:53:00.000-05:00Well, keep us posted on the exam and defense.

Maybe I'll get back to it if they ever quit making me actually do work at work. What a bizarre concept!<BR/><BR/>Nice looking pizza there. I've been pizza deprived myself (also no-knead bread deprived) for about six months now, because my oven has decided to quit heating up all the way. Can't get those 500 degree temperatures - it maxes out at around 375. I guess I'll need to break down and buy a new stove...An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294743887544399032.post-23510976765631342002008-04-13T10:22:00.000-05:002008-04-13T10:22:00.000-05:00Awwww.
