I am with you on the porridge problem. 'Oat so simple' is brilliant as you pour the milk into the little bag and it comes out lovely 2 minutes later.

So, that is that problem solved for me. Now I am concerned with how to make the perfect gravy. Any tips folks?

It has to be without a doubt jamie Oliver's consistently good gravy made with a vegetable and chicken wings base, my DS loves it so much he would just drink it:rotfl: not even bother with the roast:D

Ps you should like me, dh is often shocked at the amount of ponderings that comes out of my mouth lol x

I don't understand how people manage to make porridge in a microwave. Every time I've tried it the porridge explodes everywhere.

Now I get my porridge in the form of flapjacks.

I can't stand porridge made in a microwave or out of a packet it just tastes BLAH!!! its got to be in a pan on the stove with half milk and water stirring continually , then into the dish with a dash of milk and brown sugar , oh yes perfection!!

A handful of oats, a mug of water and salt. Heat up on hob and keep stirring as it thickens. Serve with milk in cup.

Oh my - that sounds quite revolting (no offence). I'm another one who likes porridge thick so that it sticks to my ribs :rotfl:

Does anyone remember the old tv ad where a couple of kids would tootle off to school with a ring of 'heat' round them after having porridge for breakfast? I always think of porridge as my own 'central heating'.....it keeps me warm and full for hours.

That ad was for Ready Brek.

My porridge costs £3.99 a bag! But that's because it's gluten free

Anyone know how to make gluten free porridge into a nice consistency? Mine always comes out runny so maybe I'm putting too much milk in or not enough porridge?! But I do what it says on the packet!

I worked with a gym instructor who used to teach about 30 classes a week and he actually took part in them plus he did personal training sessions so he was doing an incredible amount of exercise. He used to make up large amounts of porridge in the morning and put it in big tupperware containers. He made it really thick so it would set and he could eat slices of it throughout the day - he swore by it, said he would not physically be able to keep going without it (he was in his mid forties). I actually found myself behind him in the queue in Tesco one day and was very amused to see him load 10 bags of porridge oats onto the belt:rotfl:
