Porridge

The actual breakfast of champions. Get this inside ya and its going to be a productive day! Comfortingly cloying and superiorly sustaining. Porridge is good for both your health and your libido. If you eat this upon a cold and frosty morning, you're going to have more than enough gusto for your quota of snow angels! The following measures are to feed 1 person. So double or triple etc if you have more mouths. You can, of course, vary the liquids you use, as long as you keep the proportions the same. Porridge made with all milk or even cream gives a rich, unctuous result. Soya milk gives a lovely creamy nuttiness. Coconut milk is also good, but steer clear of using it exclusively. You need some water to temper its richness. That is unless you enjoy fat induced headaches or only intend to eat 2 bites?! You can even make it with fruit juice, although it's really only for those hardened health nuts among you.

Ingredients
Rolled oats, half a cup
Milk, half a cup
Water, half a cup
From here you can add whatever you like, but here are a few of ideas...
1 tablespoon of dessicated coconut,a teaspoon of almond essence a squidge of runny Honey and a pinch of salt.
Half a cup of mixed frozen berries, a squidge of strawberry dessert sauce and a sliced pear.
A grated small apple, a handful of raisins, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and half a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Method
Put everything into a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring regularly until the mixture becomes thick and side-stickingly gloopy. Serve hot.
