Make it Through the Dark Tip #3

#3 Porridge. Every morning and as many times during the day as socially acceptable.

1 part oats / 2 parts cold water (or milk if you are rich) / sprinkle of cinnamon / wadge of butter / bring to the boil / stir (with wrong end of wooden spoon, not sure why I learnt this way) until thick.

Serving Suggestions:
 His = brown sugar, butter, milk // Hers = spiced stewed apples, honey, milk.

*edit - I use that end of the spoon because my family are Scottish and a Scottish friend just pointed out that in Scotland they use a spurtle to stir porridge, so I guess that makes sense.

    Porridge is definitely at it's best this time of year. I've been eating porridge for lunch lately and it's fantastic (lots of butter, honey and milk).

    I have my steel cut oatmeal every morning...and for other meals if I feel lazy during the winter months. It's a comfort food for me. Lately, I've been enjoying overly plump blackberries with mine - I'm taking advantage of being in California, with their berries aplenty, during my stay here.

    Porridge has been my breakfast every day for the past month or so.
