As you know, "Bloggy" the "Blog" Mascot (pictured) has been visiting San Francisco, where she has gathered lots of oatmeal tips for our popular regular feature "Oatmeal Tips." "Bloggy" claims - and I believe her - that the McSweeney's tutoring center 826 Valencia is a veritable hotbed of oatmeal tips. I turn it over to "Bloggy" now. She writes, "When I was there visiting the other day, the topic of oatmeal came up and I pounced for details! Jory John, Programs Director, starts every single busy day at the tutoring center with some instant oatmeal. His tip is this: a plastic knife works as a perfectly acceptable substitute for your missing plastic spoon. Ryan Lewis, National Ops Mgr, also insists on daily oatmeal. And finally, 826 Valencia intern Maddie Oatman (her real name, I swear), blogs about oatmeal on her food blog. Wow!" Wow, indeed, "Bloggy." Wow, indeed. Be like "Bloggy"! Send your oatmeal tip to "Oatmeal Tips" c/o "Writer" Oxford, MS 38655.
