mmmmm lunch.

closet, gun
you thought you'd managed to escape it, didn't you? you thought i'd forgotten all about it. WELL.

today for lunch, i ate some porridge. THE EXPERIMENT LIVES! the work cupboards were pretty bare, and i had no cash for the shops. what to do, what to do?

as (i think) [info]1423 suggested: porridge and cuppasoup.

mixed veg cuppasoup, to be precise. there was a leek an potato option, but it sounded too stodgy.

results? it tastes alright, yes. consistency-wise, though, ugh. baby food.

***

are you on facebook? are you my facebook friend? do you like wasting your life away? why not join MAFIA WARS so i can get a bigger mafia and subsequently manage to buy property and DECENT GUNS. i am being held back! pls be helping me out.

***

it's funny how the day goes so much faster when i'm actually working, and not just loafing about. hilarious.
  • Mood: full

Mafia Wars
Any Facebook app that rewards you for getting your friends involved does so for a reason - so it can gather as much personal/marketing data as possible.

I'm convinced that savoury porridge can be nice but I haven't managed it yet. I followed a recipe for making egg porridge once and it was OK but the consistency was off-putting. You can get large oat porridge which turns less stodgy, I think I will try this next.

Fellow Porridge Crusader!
yeah, i've got big oats rather than readybrek etc.

egg porridge?? how were you supposed to do it?

best so far: when porridge cooked (in microwave) mix in grated cheese, marmite, and chopped spring onions.

Re: Fellow Porridge Crusader!
Sounds great, I'll give it a whirl.

The egg one was fairly straight forward: make scrambled egg mixture as you normally would in a saucepan (perhaps a little more milk/water), mix in some oats + salt/pepper, and scramble.

I heard once that Scottish miners used to take semi-dried cakes of porridge to work with them which was mixed through with onion and pepper.

Oh, the possibilities.

mmmmm, onion and pepper savoury flapjacks! very tempting, very tempting....

i find throwing in a bit of veg (spring onions / kale) helps break up the soggy texture. am limited in my experiments though as i do them at work - with only a microwave and kettle as cooking implements!

addictive isn't it? What guns are you after? I need a tactical shotgun, but you can't buy them!

yeah, i'm not sure why!

i was after tommy guns, but got a windfall from someone else in my mafia (still not entirely sure how it works!) and splurged.

i think i may have looted a tactical shotgun! do you need it for jobs? i can see if i can gift it?

You need two when you get to the Soldier stage, so only give me one if you have three!

The porridge idea is uncanny genius. I tried to invent instant mexican mole-style chicken by adding chocolate powder and chilli powder to a frozen chicken breast. That doesn't work either.

i am *determined* to find one that is both tasty and socially acceptable. so far, i have deduced a strong flavour, and something with substance are both necessary to break up the babyfood vibe...

I've previously encountered the idea of fish flavoured porridge but I don't think I ever got around to making a batch.

oooh, that actually sounds tasty!

my experiments are pretty basic mind - i only have a microwave and kettle in the office to work with.

i tried chilli mackerel fillets and kale and rather liked it. the internet said "bleurgh".
