A Nook can't cook

Two items of note today:

1. Cooking:

I learned to make my own granola bars. I got the recipe here. Seriously, it's easy. You just bake some uncooked dry oatmeal in the oven for about twelve minutes, stirring it from time to time. Then you mix it with wheat germ. Then you mix butter, brown sugar, honey and vanilla in a pan on the stove until it's all liquid, and pour it over the dry stuff, and press it into pans, and bake it for about a half hour. You can add any nuts or dried fruits you want (I'm currently trying it with pumpkin seeds and cranberries, and some peanut butter added to the butter.) Have I seriously been buying granola bars from the store all these years?

2. Nooking:

In other news, our novel Kea's Flight is going to be available on the Barnes and Noble Nook Store soon, in addition to the Kindle store and Lulu Marketplace where you can already buy it. It should be up in the next couple days (it says 48 to 72 hours).
