Day 4 - Porridge

This morning I made porridge.  I have my old favourite porridge recipe that my grandfather "Bill" used to make, but I thought maybe, just maybe Jamie Oliver might have something to offer here... and the recipe in the book, is a little faster and simpler...so why not eh?



We decide to forgo the toasted almonds, so save 8 minutes.  I set the temp and set the time

... and Jamie suggests that if it isnt runny enough, just add a splash of water....well I ended up setting the timer for another 4 mintues, then upping the temperature and another3 and another 5 minutes, before deciding it was good enough.  I dont think I like it super stodgy, but I do like it at least as thick as the above picture looks like it is!

On the whole we were all happy with the end results, and my favourite part was not having to clean up the microwave from the jug boiling over!!  I will probably make it this way again.

Result = Sucess
