Does anyone besides me still eat homemade granola? I could totally make this a linchpin of my life after politics: Free homemade granola for all! Commercial cereal is all hideously overpriced, and it mostly uses up more calories during the consumption process than you get back once digestion commences.

I liked him for a while, then he just seemed to get to arrogant for his own good.

*Maple-Walnut Granola*
Click Here For A SpoilerIngredients: 4 C Rolled Oats (regular, not "instant") 1 C Rice Bran (optional) 1/2 C Dried Currants 1/2 C Dried Cranberries 1 C Walnuts, chopped fine 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract 1/4 C Canola (or other vegetable) Oil 1/2 C Maple Syrup
Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 250 F.
2) In your biggest mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix them well.
3) Add the wet ingredients and mix again. Make sure everything's well combined.
4) Use a big wooden spoon or spatula to transfer everything into a big glass baking tray (I use the rectangular Pyrex) or a couple of large cookie trays. Spread the mixture as evenly as you can.
5)Bake about 1 1/2 hours, stirring the mixture thoroughly every fifteen minutes during baking to ensure even cooking. It takes some elbow grease but the results are worth it. When the mixture is golden brown, and a pinch of it no longer feels/tastes oily or sticky, it's done.
6) Remove the tray(s) from the oven and let the mixture cool. After that, store it airtight. Makes about 6-7 servings.
(Tips: You can experiment with other kinds of fruits and nuts. I've used apple-pineapple and cherry-apricot, for instance. But watch your mixture carefully. Sometimes the sweeter fruits seem to cook faster. I've eaten them when they've gotten Cajun-blackened from overcooking, because I'm too cheap to throw food away. But I wouldn't call it a pleasant dining experience.
Some people prefer a full 3/4 C of maple syrup. I think that makes the granola way too sweet, but to each their own.)

Ahhhhhh. Thank you so much, Cleome. I'll be spending my weekend trying out that recipe.
Dev, I agree he got full of himself, but even then, he still did the occassional song I liked: the Cyndi Lauper cover, the Tarzan theme song, the better moments of his Motown covers album...
