This morning I was rudely awakened by the front door buzzer. It was the postman with a cylindric package from Barcelona. Inside was a large, large box of Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal- the slow cook kind. I love oatmeal- I especially love oatmeal raisin cookies- directly out of the oven. Taped to the bottom of the oatmeal box, like drugs, were 5 CDs- A Stephen Sondheim collection-"Into the Woods", "Sweeney Todd" (2 disks), "Sunday In The Park With George" and "Company"


And so, tonight I will be baking cookies and singing along with musicals. I know very little in this world but I know for a fact that the Marais got just a little bit gayer.

No one says Quaker Oats quite like Wiford Brimley

Yay! You got the package, it's only been like 6 weeks since we sent it out. Evil gluten-filled stuff makes me vomit! But I do remember it tastes real nice. Check out my new blog: glutenfreegoodness.blogspot.com/

Guess what? I need to send you & K my Best of 2007 vols 1-2! It's beautiful!

What a joke, I just bought that same oatmeal here in the supermarket in Beirut two days ago. I know how to cook the porridge, but how do you bake the cookies?
