They are the only mammal to lay eggs AND they have a bill kind of like a duck. They are also one of the only living mammals to produce venom! I have loved these little freaks for a long time.
Honorable mention to chickens, especially roosters. Nothing will brighten your day quite like some silly little chickens.

They’re fascinating. They‘re brilliant engineers, they swim, they slap the water with their tails to warn other beavers, they have their own waterproofing oils, they can hold their breath underwater for 15 minutes, their dens are cool, they are monogamous which I think is cute.
Either beavers or owls. Or those monkeys that chill in the hot springs in Japan.

Because it makes me think of Goshupon and it bops front to back. Also kinda unrelated but it brought me to the song Smearious by Zelooperz and that song also rules.

In the fall I will dice and cook down leftover apples with some cinnamon and sugar and leave them in the refrigerator to use in our oats for the week.
When I have some extra time in the morning and those apples in the fridge, these are the oats I make:
*this recipe works best with OLD FASHIONED OATS. Quick and steel cut will not behave the same way*
Fry oats in unsalted butter and salt until slightly golden brown.
Add liquid, and cinnamon apples. cover and simmer to cook.
Fry an egg! Leave it runny and salt the egg.
Taste the oats to see if they are as sweet as you’d like. Add maple syrup, honey or whatever you’d like to adjust sweetness as needed. Also the option here to add just a smidge of lemon juice.
Put your oats in a bow and put the egg on top.
Top with fun stuff like roasted and slated pepitas or walnut halves.
ENJOY!
I did not include quantities because I do not know them. I wing it every time.
Frying the oats at the beginning is a game changer. It changes the texture of the oats and the way they absorb water, and it adds a layer of savory flavor that really steps up your oatmeal game. I recommend going for a dryer oatmeal so you can really see the texture difference. When it’s cooked, if you prefer a wetter oatmeal just add more liquid and keep cooking!
