Porridge

If you'd asked me a few years ago what my favourite porridge was, I would have said grits.  I like all kinds of porridge, but lately, oatmeal has won my heart.  I eat it almost every morning.  I like mine with cinnamon, raisins, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.  Maybe add some chopped apricots and a little clove, nutmeg, and ginger, too, if I'm feeling feisty.  If I'm really feeling indulgent, I like it with maple syrup.  Sometimes, I go the Scottish route and have it with salt.

I'm always looking for new porridges (Hello, Gari!) and new ways to eat oatmeal (yes, I find it as exciting as Bert), so please leave a comment and share your suggestions.

P.S.  I used to work for these Time Travellers and got the cayenne pepper idea from the lady.  She had her oatmeal with sliced banana, flax seeds, and a pinch of cayenne.  Bosslady also used to laugh about instant oatmeal because oatmeal hardly takes any time to cook.
