My step-dad has the Quaker Oats made with water rather than milk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) Apparently this is the "proper way" to have porridge/porage. Maybe one of our Scottish friends will tell us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You mean porridge can be made with milk?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I've always had it made with water, both as a child, and at university. (Don't think I've had any since then, but my children both had it made with water as children.) Not my favourite breakfast, but it was certainly the "proper way" to have porridge in South Yorkshire in the '50s and '60s.

Actually, I seem to remember my mother telling me that Scots put salt on their porridge rather than syrup (or brown sugar) and milk as we did.

Does it really matter how you make it and what you put on it - it tastes disgusting however its done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Traditionally, yes, porage has salt on it. But for me, I make it with milk (not water) but I don't add anything else. I can't imagine adding sweet stuff or sugar to it...

We should have had a porridge thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Organic oats from the health food shop taste nicer than Quaker Oats and make a softer texture if soaked in water overnight (just enough to soak up the water and soften them), then add some milk in the morning and heat in the microwave. Eat with brown sugar, a little more cold milk, cornflakes sprinkled on top (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif), or with salt, or Drambuie....

You can add it to the recipe thread if you like. It is time that we got some more ideas going there.

I've always been so tempted to go into the "what makes you happy today" thread and reply NOTHING!

I'm just a bit jaded because my summer holiday has coincided with the only cold I've had all year, and it's a long-drawn out one I've had for over a week now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've been tempted by that too!
Although these days I'm trying really really really hard to be a bit more positive about things so have held back :/

Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Really fed up because I can neither sing nor play my flute at the moment. Thanks goodness for the piano.

Argh. Scared for tomorrow, I think I am happier not knowing, and may possibly keep it that way.

Not being well enough to play isn't much fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I have blisters on the sole of my feet from an allergic reaction and so piano with any peddles is off the cards for a bit!! not good!

I'm scared too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I may just dig a big hole and sit in it forever (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
