Everyone knows Weetos are the way forward. I eat a bowl every morning and I look stunning in my red bikini/dress/whatever.

There was something in the paper the other day saying that the calorific content per serving is tosh anyway because most people's bowl of cereal is about double their estimate.

I always think that something like a bowl of unSpecial K (or Rice Crispies as Mort said)can be crushed to about the size of a dice - that's how much food you're actually getting - I think that makes sense, doesn't it?!!

Now porridge on the other hand.....

There are a lot of people looking for a magic bullet as far as weight loss goes or else there wouldn't be so many silly diets in women's magazines.

I dunno. Most cereal is crap anyway. Rice crispies? Cornflakes? Not a lot in there is there?

Wrong, sort of - there's lots and lots and LOTS of sugar and an amazing amount of salt as well.

My grandma was a porridge obsessive and had to use the same pan and the same wooden spoon for it just wouldn't work. The microwave was a definite no-no! :smile:

It's true - you need your porridge bowl to be a porridge bowl. And metal spoons are useless - lip-burny and sticky.

But ;) gotta own up, I mostly use a microwave now. Fine as long as the oats have been in the water long enough - and no porridge-pot to wash! Hooray!

Usually use the pan but at work use the microwave as there's no cooker. Reheated porridge in a microwave is worse than cooking it from those little packets.... xx(
