Partly because Stormii asked for it, but mostly because I am brain-dead today, I'm giving you my granola recipe.

3 cups oatmeal
1 cup coconut
3/4 cup pecans
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dates

Mix it all together and spread in a shallow pan. Officially, you bake at 350 deg. for 20 minutes, but I have better luck baking at 300 deg. for 30 minutes, and stirring every 10 minutes. You want it toasty, but not scorched. My kids used to eat it as a between-meal snack, and I like it as cereal.

Rush, the cat, has taken to jumping up on everything -- the higher, the better. When he finds a really cute place, I'm either busy squirting him with a water pistol (so he'll equate the kitchen counter with something unpleasant) or by the time I get my camera, he has moved. But I did catch him pretending to be a leopard:


And that, my friends, is all I could find rattling around in my head today.
