Week 6 of not having a stove.
It's becoming painful, yo. When so much of your happiness relies on your ability to cook and prepare food, not having a functioning stove is a terrible blow. We've been dealing with our electronic company for weeks trying to convince them to turn on our gas. Every time, it's "You need to do X." So then we do X. We wait. We call back. They say, "You did X, but you still need to do Y." We say, "You never told us that, but okay." We do Y. We wait. We call back. Etc.
FOR SIX WEEKS.
So here's some muesli. It's mostly all I've been eating for breakfast since I'm not a huge fan of cooking rolled oats in the microwave.
Also, my new apartment does not receive great lighting...hence the ugly pictures I've been posting lately. Sigh.

As someone who only ever cooks his oats in the microwave and that at least 5 times a week, I can't understand, how you prefer raw oats over microwave cooked oats :D But although I really don't like raw oats, you did a great job on still making it look good on the pictures! :D
ReplyDeleteMine always boil over. Also, I don't have air conditioning in my apartment, so I'm usually hot in the morning and don't want a hot breakfast. :(
