In general, I don’t go to Starbucks either, but I was sad when the one near my son closed due to COV. The staff there treated him kindly, and when I would ask for a “decaf” for him they never marked it as such. He is autistic. Finding people who are kind to him in banal settings is difficult. The oat bar used to be my choice for long hikes because — like I said: small but does a good job of slowing down the coffee, and provided energy.
And so I posted another recipe? So? People are free to try it or not, but surely there are many Canadians on the forum who would not know what this oat thing might be and I found something I think, on reading the thread, is similar.
I was aiming to be helpful And do not see how my post could be construed as anything other than that.
Maybe follow-ups were not intended as such, but they read like unnecessary, cranky criticisms.... of an oat bar recipe.
