Scouting the yellow pages for home cleaning services.

Did you know there is a cleaning company called Rent-a-wife Ottawa? Yeah..seriously. Not, you know, rent a cleaner, but rent-a-wife.

Went to the hair dresser today. Remember my poll for hair colour? Red won by one vote, but my personal bias for blue skewed the results, red needed a bigger lead than that. So they put bleach in my hair, and I sat for half an hour or so....in what was a bloody painful half hour. When she rinces it out, she says I need one more bleaching to finish it off, it was still a bit yellow. I told her forget it, I am not putting that stuff on my head again. So blue was out (blue on yellow gives green). We went red instead, but since I was already as blond as I was, it came a brighter red than I expected.

I just cooked steel cut oats for the first time.

Not a resounding success…but not a failure. The directions told me to turn it to medium heat….I think I need to go much lower, maybe even simmer. I have a layer of brunt oats in the bottom of the pot, despite stirring.They are also still a little hard….edible, but a little hard. I am hoping a simmer, and a longer cook time could help that. I read one suggestion about soaking them overnight…I may try that. I also saw a receipe that subbed some milk for water, I will definitely try that.
