have had them on their own on a poor day too.
Ha ha - I read this - only there was something in the drawer so when he ate it he broke his teeth! (Note - check the drawer is clean and empty BEFORE pouring in the porridge!!!!) None of the Broon family would eat it so when he broke his teeth, they laughed!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:
I also make a kind of baked oaty biscuit made with porridge oats, water and cinnamon. Using a pie plate, I bake in a medium oven until water dries out and then serve with some kind of spread, butter, soya margarine or whatever you like plus chopped vegetables like cucumber and tomato. If I use tomatoes I usually heat them up in a pan first with some olive oil until they have broken down a bit. Add some fresh basil if you have any.
This reminds me of The Broons - I remember their porridge drawer and someone breaking their teeth on a toy car or something that was left in the drawer!!
I often make porridge with physillium husks stirred through which makes it thick - if I dont add enough liquid it makes it almost congealed and solid. I also add banana, sultanas, ground cinnamon and ginger and some some ground flaxseed and then top with pumpkin seeds and or chooped walnuts or pecans once cooked. I use a mixture of soya milk and water and old fashioned thick oats.
I do tend to reheat it in the microwave when I get to work though!
When I was little I like it made with water and topped with milk, salt AND sugar
