A Spin Off of Keep a Word/Drop a Word and Music, Pics, and Whatnot

[Bliss Doubt]

I have heard that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. For me though an idle mind breeds curiosity, usually about something that I really hadn't ever thought about or even cared about. And sometimes that leads to learning interesting things. In this case my idle mind suddenly wondered "Why the heck is that band that's playing this weekend called Whistle Pigs? What is a friggin' whistle pig?"

As it turns out, I might run into some of gopher's distant relatives on Saturday. Apparently it is another name for a groundhog or woodchuck, which still left me perplexed until I found this video. Hey, it's music related, sort of.

That is absolutely music. I would choose that over many a recorded music track. It sounds like that little guy is doing call and response with a bird friend.

and

"...an idle mind is the devil's workshop." The most difficult thing about transformative meditation is emptying your mind, stopping those tumbling thoughts. When I'm dealing with a complex situation in work, if I just back away for a while, have a coffee and a vape, that's when the solution comes through. So I'll leave it to some prissy church lady to make inner quiet the devil's tool.

I looked up Whistle Pigs. Love their stuff!

Why doesn't that work for me I dream about homemade chocolate chip cookies with a big glass of milk to dunk them in, Ahhh the good ole days

Awe Jimi, you're breaking my heart. I'll post something in the cooking thread (not the diet thread because I don't know how to figure out the calories per serving). Recently I made kind of a chocolate chip oatmeal by baking it until browned and crispy on top. I'd rather have it than something made from flour, sugar and eggs.

Later. I have to make it again to get it down in writing.

Sounds like my Mom's cookies....

She uses chocolate, but I like these a bit more: https://dinnerthendessert.com/oatmeal-cookies/

Or, the no-bake healthy version: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/healthy-no-bake-cookies/

Obviously, the ingredients can be edited/changed for dietary concerns, but oats are pretty universal I think.
I've even ground up oats into flour before in a spare coffee grinder...

I get bags of USDA quick oats in the food boxes, I should make some.

Oatmeal cookies are very forgiving and easy to bake (or not). Plus ya can add dates, raisin, nuts, etc.

Well actually I'm thinking in terms of a chocolate chip cookie for you. I've always thought oatmeal chocolate chip were better than regular. Oats have so much more flavor than wheat flour.

We'll get around to it later, I promise. I want you to be able to have a treat for Thanksgiving.

Incidentally, the name of that album, Foulbrood, is a devastating bee disease. European Foulbrood can be treated, but American Foulbrood requires destruction of not only the bees, but every part of the hive needs to be burned.
