My porridge recipe

[Fnaar]

It's pure, it's simple, and I like it.
The night before you want to eat it:
Put a serving of oats in a bowl (I eat a lot, so I put quite a lot in).
Add enough water to cover yer oats.
Put a plate/saucer on top (so no flies can shoot in it)
In the morning, microwave it for 1 minute.
Take it out and stir it.
Microwave it again for 30 seconds.
Stir it up.
Add a bit of milk. Sugar to taste. Natural yoghurt if you so fancy.
Hey presto! A quick and nutritious breakfast, requiring a modicum of organisation. Luvvly jubbly!

What happens if your wife/flat mate farts under the saucer?

It rarely hapens, in my experience, but then you just have to devise your own retribution at a suitable time...(e.g. burping towards their shreddies).

to taste, ffff, to taste. btw... you seem to be a madness fan... do you know "One Step Behind" (a madness tribute band).... I know them, I do....

 

[4F]

No not seen them. I have seen "Badness" play up at the local social club who were quite good

One Step Behind

 

[summerdays]

I go for the lazy method... put oats in bowl (plenty of them for me too) ... chuck in a load of dried cranberries (or raisons when I run out), cover with milk and then zap in microwave for 1 min and 50 secs ... then eat... (no sugar - I don't need it with the milk and cranberries).

Note I can't be bothered with that stiring or stopping half way through lark!

Yum yum (that way there isn't a chance for anyone to fart in it).

Can't beat Ready-Brek!

Open packet, fill bowl with saw dust ready-brek, add milk/water, put in microwave for 2 mins, stir, and enjoy cold and scalding lumpy breakfast/evening meal!

I'll give your recipe a try, fnaar. Thanks!

readybrek bloddy marrrvelous.
I just chuck some boiling water over it whilst I fire up the PC and throw some bones to the cats then a little milk and sugar voila ready in two shakes of a shook thing

 

[Mr Pig]

That's a really sucky way to make porridge!

For one serving:

Half cup of oats.
Half cup of milk.
Three-quarters cup of water.

Add sugar or salt to taste and heat in a saucepan 'till thick. Should take about five minutes.

Serve with added milk to taste.

The only good thing to come out of microwave ovens is a healthy distrust for technology.

 

[fossyant]

Zap cup of milk
Chop 1 banana
Bowl of oats
Chuck in banana
Pour in hot milk...

Oh you are 'ard if having mainly water........

Mr. Pig's basic recipe and technique. Use all water (what I was brought up on) with a pinch of salt. Served with milk and a sprinkle of Splendor (sugar substitute, doctor's orders) and fresh berries if I have any. Do the overnight soaking trick with muesli, which turns dry sawdust into heavenly moist succulent breakfast.
