@Mikiesboy do the chia seeds need to be refrigerated? they aren't sold that way, but the container was sealed.

Also...keep them in a dry place. Moisture/humidity can make them sprout. Then you'll have a Chia Pet.

@Mikiesboy I just watched the strawberry oatmeal bar demo again, so of course I want to make it. 

Just one question, because it’s not stated in the video. Is that a 9 x 13 pan he’s using?

@Mikiesboy I made the strawberry oat bars tonight. Just wow.....!!

I did a double batch so I can take some to work. I also mixed raspberries and blackberries with the strawberries. OMG!

As I was mixing the oat stuff my husband asked what I was making. I told him and then he says "are there nuts in it too?"   So I added chopped pecans to the top layer. Nuts are healthy....right?

The only question I have is....how the hell do you get the chia seeds off of the sponge? They totally infiltrated my kitchen sponge when I washed the sauce pan. 😆 I just know the sponge will sprout by morning....Ch-Ch-Cha-Chia Sponge! 🤣

Does it help to know you’ve saved a sponge - mine  - from meeting the same ghastly fate?

Oh. The thumbs up became colorful. What happened? LOL.

Yeah, any of those berries would be great. Blueberry would be with lemon zest too. I think you can use anything you want, peaches, apricots, plums, apples, rhubarb would be excellent in there.

Nuts are healthy and add a lot texture and flavour. I put them in my apple crisp topping, along with orange zest.

About the sponge.. i don't know. We don't use sponges, so i cannot help with that. We use chia in our bread and i've never noticed them anywhere but in whatever I'm making ... lol, so what are you doing?

Myr, is experimenting with different icons. There's a blog about it, where you can express your feelings about it.

I laughed when the video said to "gently cook" the strawberries. I'm not a gentle cook...more like Emeril...BAM!😆

I'm also not usually too messy when I cook...I like to clean as I go. 

I have no idea how I had chia seeds all over the place. Pesky little things. 

Have a good day everyone!

Michael was like Emeril ... but has since learned there are other temperatures besides HIGH .. hehe.

Hey All,

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm OK. Hopefully I'll have take after next week to be back on the site.

I've got a flying visit home this week as I've got a Pre-Op Appointment tomorrow for Day Surgery on Monday to sort out my Kidney Stones.

I've also got my Second Jab on Friday.

Tuesday I'm back to my Dad's flat where Hopefully I'll be having the contents moved on Wednesday, so hopefully by the end of next week the flat will be empty and deep cleaned. Only the flat to sell and probate to be granted. 

Take Care All

Chris
