Semi-philosophical question: Is nudity inherently sexual?

I'm gonna go with yes. There's definitely a biological imperative that pairs genitals with sex. Animals see exposed genitalia as sexual excitement, it's just that most of the time even though they're naked, their genitals aren't really exposed. Since we don't have fur, we need clothes. That said, I think nudity can be desexualized among groups of people who are comfortable with each other.

Ask me anything!

Making Granola

I ran out of granola yesterday. Instead of buying more, I decided to use that box of oatmeal that no one eats to make some for myself. This recipe is loosely based off the the one from Chow.com.

Granola

- 2 1/2 C Rolled oats
- 1/2 C Sliced almonds
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 300 F. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add:

- 1/3 C Honey/molasses mixture
- 1/4 C canola oil

Stir everything together. Spread evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 min, stirring once or twice. When you pull the granola out of the oven, stir it a bit as it cools, or you'll be left with a large, solid sheet of granola. When it's cooled add:

- 1/2 C dried cranberries.

Store in an air-tight container.
