So it's another layover in O'Hare. Though almost over, now. I decided that this time I was going to hunt down the chapel. (Which I only know about the existence of because of one of the Dresden books, but, hey. It sounded nice. Y'know, barring ritual sacrifice.)

And I found it, but sadly it was on the other side of security. Next time I have a really long layover, maybe. But I found smoothies (O'Hare has astonishingly little I can eat.) And an electrical outlet. And I have twenty minutes in which to stretch.

Note: I wasn't requesting a longer layover, really. And anyway, it's only useful if I know about it in advance.

We boarded the plane. A few minutes before we were supposed to leave, someone realized we had no pilots, as the ones we were supposed to have were stranded in New York.

So we got off the plane again. Hopefully we will have pilots soon.

One of the results of training so much is that my normal breakfast cereal just wasn't doing it. Nutritionally dense, calorically sparse, and I'd be falling over by ten. But I still wanted real food. So:

Beat two eggs. Mix in enough whole wheat flour to make a wet dough. Add enough water to make a thin batter, and then enough oat bran to make it thick. (I usually used more oat bran than flour.)

To this add one chopped banana, some other kind of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, chopped apple...) and some crushed nuts. Whisk in 1/2 t baking soda.

Fry up. Drizzle with maple syrup.
