I found a good oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe, so I decided to give it a whirl. I started measuring everything out and realized that something was wrong when I saw that the recipe called for 2 cups of milk.
Crap.
I scroll up the page and see that I had been following the baked oatmeal recipe. Oops.
Hubs already said that he wouldn't eat baked oatmeal. I couldn't just throw it all out, so I found the correct recipe and started making adjustments.
I'm reminded of when I met Hubs. I was a broken heap of a mess at that time. I had gotten out of a miserable marriage and had recently had a failed rebound romance. I was living in my old bedroom at my parents' house with my 3 year old and all of our belongings. And I was two months away from being laid off from the job I'd had for almost nine years. I still don't know what Hubs saw in me that made him want to stick around, but I'm grateful that he did.
