Split Peas and Oats

lillilahJoel had some oat flour, so I've cooked it up (making a mess, as often happens when cooking oatmeal in the microwave) and have added it to my pea soup (because I really don't care about taste, and it isn't like it tastes bad with soup). I decided to go with the equivalent carbohydrates of 25g of red lentils, which is 22g of oats. So far, I haven't broken out in hives, started coughing, or had a nervous breakdown. (Update: I'm a tiny bit itchy.) Interestingly, I've noticed that my temperature has gone up since I started taking the magnesium. I never saw anything over 36.6C unless I was sick. I mean _never_. Suddenly, I'm seeing 36.7 and 36.8. These aren't huge differences, but I haven't see anything like this before. So, that's interesting. Probably, this explains why my blood sugar is lower.
If I want to try cooking something different instead of eating the same thing every day (I'm not convinced that I want to), here are some recipes that look promising. I would need a blender for many of them, but Joel is looking for a better food processor for his falafel anyway.
* Lemony Split Peas
* Fried Split Peas - supposedly, green split peas won't work
* Split pea tortillas
* Red lentil tortillas
* Split pea oatmeal pancakes - egg-free
I'm most excited by the idea of the tortillas, since they have nothing else in them but that one ingredient. I'm a bit nervous about the idea of cooking them without fat. I've tried it before with corn tortillas and have never gotten it to work. We'll see. First, though, I need a blender anyway.
