I love the smell ...

I absolutely love the smell of raw oatmeal! All the smell of a fresh, warm batch of Oatmeal raisin cookies lies latent in the raw oatmeal, and if you stick your nose in the bag you can let it seep into your nostrils ... it's heaven. Life should smell like raw oatmeal.

At this point, I also have to say that I love Bluetooth and that it allows me to snap a picture on my phone, send it to my lappy, and upload it to my blog in a matter of seconds. It makes blogging so much more fun.

Now, back to the oatmeal. I'm making Nutty Oat Bread, a spur-of-the-moment recipe created by Girl On A Bike. I love her ingenuity. And of course, as you know, I love oatmeal, so I may as well give the recipe a go!

Later:

Sorry to say this did not turn out well. The problem was, I trusted the back of the packet of dried fast acting yeast when it said I could use it normal bread recipes, not just in the bread maker. It lied. As the King of Siam would say, "It was a false lie."

I'm sure the recipe would be great with proper yeast. I'm going on a yeast hunt next time I am in a store. I tried to find it in Asda but I guess I wasn't looking in the right place.
