Gah! Overslept...

mousmeI was going to try my hand at granola bars today, thinking I had all the ingredients, and wouldn't that make a great snack for climbing a mountain? Except, looking through my pantry, I have no oats, and I am not sure about using oatmeal as a substitute —I'm worried about texture and consistency, and today doesn't seem right for experimentation. Sparing myself unnecessary stress is the name of the game, so no granola bars. I am disappointed. I also can't think where I would get just plain oats in this city that's so fond of processed foods.
The banana bread is in the oven, and the silver lining is that I now have time to go poke at the garden and see if any of the tomatoes have ripened. I am experimenting with the banana bread, and have put some of the mixture in a bundt pan, to see if it'll come out well that way. I will have to keep an eye on it to make sure I don't overcook it, but otherwise I can't see that it'll make a huge difference.
Then I have to dig out bedding for the guests tonight, put the beds together, and after that with any luck I'll be golden.
Now if only I had awoken at the time I'd wanted to, I might not be feeling quite as rushed.
