Baked steel-cut oatmeal

This is kind of inspired by this recipe. Amounts are what I did, but if I do it again I might slightly decrease the nutmeg and maybe slightly increase the sugar.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups steel cut oatmeal
• 2.5 cups boiling water
• 2tsp baking powder

Curried Pear Pie

Ingredients

Note: these are amounts for a nine-inch round pie. For the 13x9 rectangular pie, I used a double batch of filling and a 1.5x batch of crust.

• One batch pie crust for a double crust pie (I'm a fan of this one)
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 2Tbsp garlic-ginger paste (recipe follows)
• 1Tbsp ground coriander

This script ingests a CSV of last names and builds JSON output on the

file to weigh the output, but absent that field, it assigns equal weight to 
each name, allowing us to also process our TCamp 2012 attendence list.
