Oat Milk

It's cheap, it's easy, it's oak milk!

1/4 cup steel cut oats
1 cups water

Boil on stove until it's nice and gluey, well past the point where most people would stop and eat it (~20 min). Make sure it doesn't burn.

Put in blender. Add 3-4 cups filtered water.

Blend, blend, blend. You want the oats to be tiny- like cream of wheat. I add a bit of honey at this stage and some cinnammon if I'm feeling spunky (so always).

Strain through a fine mesh sieve, put left over oats in a bowl to eat later! (or throw out, but I love eating them!)

Strain again. And maybe a third time if you have the time- you'll get less sediment.

Pour into an air tight container (I use a big mason jar) and store in the fridge. Shake it up before each use and enjoy!

Cost break down:
- A few cents in oats = 4 cups of oat milk
- 4 cups store bought = >$3

A Homemade Wardrobe

What if I were to make my own clothes for a year?


Pause.

Think about it.

Isn't the idea sort of magical?


My mom just gave me the extravagant gift of a Brother serger for my birthday in November. With the end of another crazy semester I haven't even had time to take it out of the box, much less learn how to use it. But just think! I could feasibly make ANY clothing item...

So maybe the idea's a little nuts, a little extreme. But that's what makes it shinny and full of promise.
