I've been flailing around for a new easy-make breakfast now that I'm not allowed to have a toaster in the office. (For years, breakfast=chai and a bagel) Today I've tried a sideways version of the chai and grain concept, cooking oat bran in 1/2 water and 1/2 milk... and a hefty dose of chai powder.

I've also seen an interesting idea that doesn't count as "easy make" but ought to be able to be mass-make-and-freezable, and which ought allow me to up the veggies in my diet. It's to cut a baked potato lengthwise, scoop it out until there's about 1/2 inch of shell, and then essentially bake a frittata in said shell.

I read that as 'a lobster.' Need new glasses.

when did they ban toasters from your workplace?

That has got to be the most seriously off (and entertaining) misread I've ever heard of.

Same time they banned radios, apparently. I was expressly told it was considered a fire issue (!)

It gave me serious pause for a moment.

It shouldn't. Every office is more homey and productive with a lobster.

...okay, toasters I can understand, though we haven't had a toaster catch anything on fire (well, badly crispy) since grade school--but, radios?!? Will they replace the toasters with toaster ovens, and radios with a spiffy stereo system?^^
Also, that last thing with the scooped-out potato sounds fabulous! So does the chai-oatmeal? And office lobsters. (Aquariums are RELAXING! They should be standard issue in big office buildings, with raffles to name the fish and other inhabitants (and pick them)--ooh, they'd have somewhere to tuck all those bi-color lobsters! <3
