Granola 101

Much like people, every granola smells and tastes a little bit different. Why else would the cereal aisle be spilling over with boxes of uniqueness? Dorset Cereals makes a fine (but slightly pricey) box of the stuff, but when you have developed a serious habit as I have, it's time to bake your own.

As usual, I turned to Google this morning to find a recipe. I took another search through Slashfood and came up with some inspiration. And this blog has a good stand-by recipe. Ultimately, I went off script and opted for a mish mash of my own device.

Fortunately, it’s hard to botch granola. Here are the guidelines: I use about 2 ½ cups of oats, tossed in cinnamon and salt, and then coated with a goo made from honey, vegetable oil, brown sugar (roughly a ¼ cup on each) with splash of vanilla or orange extract. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, turn, bake 10 more minutes and then mix in your favorite dried fruits and nuts. Today's add-ins included pecans, pepitas, cranberries, raisins and coconut. The taste: sweet and salty, perfect on plain yogurt. -CN

Как говорилось на Seexi.net Никогда раньше мне не снились кошмары так часто. В детстве в последствии просмотра фильмов ужасов - не снились. Во время очень стрессовой и напряженной учебы-работы - не снились. А вот уже год живу гладко, спокойно, благополучно, замужем, не работаю пока (отхожу от последней адской работы), но кошмары снятся каждый день - навязчивые, тягостные. Самое жуткое, что буквально буквально каждый день, когда я заставляю себя проснуться, для того прервать кошмар (обычно даже иду на кухню воды попить или же в ванную), как только засыпаю - кошмар возобновляется с такого же места!!!!!!!
К психиатру или же еще какому-то врачу сходить пока не могу, т.к. живу в данный момент не в России, местные врачи не очень хорошо говорят по-английски и т.п.
Может, у кого-то было похожее? Что несомненно несомненно помогло?
