owl Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Wow blackmagic, that was quick! Very pleased for you. I don't think you would approve of my porridge. Dried fruit mixed with it the night before, then boiling water poured over and left to soak. Heated up in the morning and served with 5 different seeds sprinkled on top, a spoonful of honey and some nut milk. We are traditionally outlaws here in Notts hehe.

suzeanna Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Rather different to your present home, blackmagic..but home is what you make it and I'm sure you'll soon make it your own. Glad you've found somewhere so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 A useful size and easy to manage. I see from the description that it is close to walking and cycling tracks into the countryside. I used to have porridge with just a pinch of sea salt but went soft! It's really sweet enough wit h the fruit, but I like a spoonful of local honey every day as it has helped my hayfever and I no longer cough and sneeze through the oilseed rape season.

Jazz Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have a bit of honey with it. I got a bag of porridge every week with the food parcels. gave some away and enjoying the rest. Food doesnt interest me, so happy with that looks a nice house. I lived at a 17. liked that house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I nearly bought a 17. That was the one backing on to a nature reserve, which I loved but had to withdraw my offer when specialist surveys found 24 electrical faults of which 12 were dangerous enough to render the house unsafe, and gas faults so serious that the gas engineer capped the supply off at once. Money lost but disaster avoided. So I bought a 37 instead. Most places I have lived have been prime numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Our cottage in Sussex only had a name, not a number. Our previous place here was 24, now we are at 48. The vet phoned earlier to tell us that the histology results were back on Candy's lump. Bad news is it was a malignant tumour, good news is only Grade 1. Clear margins too, and her chest is clear. He said just check the whole area regularly just in case of any more appearing. I enjoyed the meal out last night and managed to eat a reasonable amount..luckily I wasn't feeling last night how I feel today or we wouldn't have gone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Glad you had a good night out Suzeanna. Hope you feel better soon. Fingers crossed Candy has no more lumps appearing. Porridge should be made with water, not milk and have a pinch of salt, nothing sweet you bunch of heathens 😂 How dare you hijack my national dish with your poncey ways lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I always make my porridge with water, just have a splash of nut milk on top. Forgot to say that I put ground ginger and cinnamon in with it to soak overnight. The cinnamon stops it from sticking to the pan. As I said, we are outlaws in Notts. Anyway, porridge has been regarded as sacred in my family for over 100 years now, so the fruits, nuts and spices I add are just sacrifices to honour its divinity. The reason for this is that when my grandpa and a few companions managed to escape from the German troops who had just captured them and were loading them into trucks, they fled into "no man's land" hoping to reach their compatriots. Lost in the dark and freezing cold, they were found by some kilted Argyles, the famous "ladies from hell". Although these Lincolnshire lads found it hard to understand their speech, they certainly understood the warm reception and the bowls of porridge heavily laced with whisky which quickly revived them body and soul. Grandpa stayed with the Argyles for some time, and ended up with a great affection for porridge so when he got home it was always standard breakfast, minus the whisky of course. As I spent my first 5 years with my grandparents I was raised on the stuff. I also love Scottish oatcakes, and you will be glad to hear I don't do anything shocking with those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
