| 547490 | 2007-05-06 04:59:00 | As Google knows well, you are all preparing it incorrectly: "Some say that porridge should be allowed to stand and than be re-heated, others say that it should be made the day before it is to be eaten. "In older times a 'porridge drawer' in crofters kitchens dressers was filled with fresh cooked porridge and when cold was cut into squares for the crofter to take onto the hills for sustenance"" Any babies born to these poorer families were put to “bed” in a drawer, usually above the porridge drawer, and the slow rising heat acted as a kind of central heating for the well-wrapped child". Is this how you keep your bairns warm beetle? |

| 547491 | 2007-05-06 05:09:00 | This was apparently common practice in not so "older times" in overcrowded Glasgow Gorbals tenements, or so I've read. When I went through the Gorbals in the early 1960's we saw bottles thrown out of upper windows. It was not a place to linger in. |

Throw the milk & sugar somewhere irrelevant, and get into muesli. Add water to the muesli before going to bed, place it in a safe place and in the morning your breakfast is ready when you are. Luxury! |

| 547494 | 2007-05-06 07:07:00 | As usual I have the answer. A measure of oats from any supermarket,no need to be selective here. Add milk,the amount with a liitle practice is easy,micro wave for two mins and bobs yer uncle. |

| 547495 | 2007-05-06 10:53:00 | For me, 7 days a week, it's 4 slices of Molenberg toast, 1 with Anathoth black currant jam, one with peanut butter and 2 with Vegemite, or 1 one of those with sliced tomato in season. Plus 2 cups of freshly brewed black coffee. | TideMan (4279) | ||
| 547496 | 2007-05-06 12:06:00 | Try some liquid honey on rolled oats instead of sugar for a real taste treat Ken That sounds really nice. I'll have to try it sometime. My usual choice of bread is Freyas Classic Seed, but when that is sold out, I just get ordinary wheatmeal of whatever brand is on special (except budget - that goes dry & horrible a lot quicker than other brands) |

| 547497 | 2007-05-06 20:20:00 | Porridge is great in this cooler weather we are having. In addition to oats, I add raisins and coconut, and if available: ground millet and a bit of muesli that has fruit added, or whatever I can find that looks nutritious. |
