Name: Oatmeal Cookies

Today there is an urgent truth shortage! There was a time when western culture was distinguished from other cultures by at least a conventional outward sense of obligation to tell the truth. But now there is a pervasive indifference to truth-telling, and this has not only infected day-to-day conversation but the most solemn pledges of life. Perjury under solemn oath is epidemic. The sacred vows of marriage are broken almost as often as repeated. God's name is invoked by blatant liars who purport to be witnesses to the truth.

NOTES: I adapted this from a recipe on the back of Old Wessex Scottish
style porridge oats. These oats are rolled, but are much thicker than
Quaker oats. The original recipe called for margarine (substituted
applesauce) and one egg (used an egg-sized piece of banana). It also called
for either 1 cup of honey or one cup of maple syrup, but I like the taste
of the combination of honey and maple syrup. I put raisins in it, but
omitted the nuts. The cookies were great!
