Hey, you heard hopitus... that's very fashionable! I do the same
thing and while I might be immature, I'm not mentally disabled.

You may already have one, but if not I find a head torch very useful for
looking into dark spaces, especially if you need both hands free.

I don't have that sort of shoulder, either. Recently, I bought a
shoulder bag (because Mum always commplained when I brought a backpack
to the theatre or some other 'posher' environment). I went to the
theatre with it. I had a terrible time trying to get it to hang on my
shoulder. I had to lift it up all the time, I tried pulling on the bag
to keep the strap pressed to my shoulder, I tried to hold the strap all
the time at the shoulder, but my arm started hurting at being bent that
way for a long time. I don't know how anyone manages to carry a shoulder
bag.

Normally, I use a big, camo-coloured backpack with a lot of pockets.

So mentally handicapped people can be more sensible in some ways. :-)

INGREDIENTS FOR ONE BATCH OF APPLE CRISP:

1 cup (125 g / 4 oz) all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cup (330 g / 12 oz) lightly packed brown sugar
1 cup (90 g / 3 oz) oatmeal
1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) apple pie spice (or substitute your favourite)
2/3 cup (150 g / 5 oz) softened butter or margarine

6-8 medium apples
lemon juice (optional)

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 375�F (190�C.) Grease a 9" x 13" (20 x 30 cm) baking
dish.
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter. I
just do this with a dinner fork. You don't need a fancy pastry
blender or anything. It doesn't have to be perfect, but try not to
have any really large lumps in it. Set aside this crumb mixture while
you prepare the apples.
Pare, core and slice apples. I make them a little on the thick side
because I like to take a bite of a good chunk of apple when I'm
eating, but if you have the patience to slice them thinly and you
like your apple crisp that way, you should go ahead and prepare them
that way. Feel free to use your food processor to cut down on slicing
time!
At this point you can squirt a little fresh squeezed or bottled lemon
juice on the apple slices if you like to prevent oxidation, but this
is a matter of personal taste. The apples will change colour from the
spices and the baking anyway. Arrange your sliced apples in the
bottom of your baking dish. Again you can get really pretty with this
and arrange all your uniformly cut slices so they overlap in the pan,
but you don't have to. Unless you're shooting a cooking video nobody
will ever see your artwork but you.

isnt' that just Apple Crumble?

How does a crunch differ from a crumble?

Tell your mom that it is the latest in fashion among the sensible
fashionistas in the US. Then try not to giggle.

Nah, I need a bat belt with all the tools of the motherhood trade.
Wipes, spare clothes, bandaids, drink, small toy (for distraction in
boring situations), spare clothes, tissues, kiddy tylenol, mobile
phone, keys, earplugs, emergency sewing kit, torch, screwdriver/nail
file, sticky tape, sunnies, etc etc

or, in other words, a giant and unfashionable tote bag where all that
sort of stuff along with a mysterious sock, some fluff covered candy,
hair pins, ex-tissues, small change, an old and out of fashion half
melted lipstic, a few tampons etc etc all sit in the bottom and
jingle

In other words, the one you already have?

My mother liked large purses. She used to carry a little doll-house
sink, about two inches long, in her purse, so that she could pull it out
and say, "I have everything in my purse INCLUDING the kitchen sink."

I have to carry a laptop computer to and from work, and have learned to
always hang the strap from the opposite shoulder. Otherwise, as my
shoulders are somewhat sloped, the computer bag invariably slides off my
shoulder at some point.

Is a "bat belt" the same as what we might call a "waist pack"?

"Bat-belt" is a reference to the comic-book superhero Batman, who wears a
utility belt containing an unlikely variety of tools. I have been known
to refer to my belt as a "bat-belt", as I commonly have a cell-phone, a
Leatherman multi-tool, a key-ring, and a bag containing my blood sugar
meter, insulin, and other medicines, hanging off of my belt. My current
belt has a series of grommets spaced along the full length, and the bag
with my medical equipment is slung off of a carabiner hooked through one
of the grommets.
