Rice porridge


As a child, I was always the last person at the breakfast table and as a result I developed an aversion to porridge (oatmeal)-- cold and solidified by the time I arrived. Now that I'm often the first person awake in the house, I realise that the problem was entirely temperature, and along with my son, I have become quite enthusiastic about this winter treat. For two servings, I mix one cup each of milk, water and brown rice flakes. Add salt, cinnamon and raisins then cook until gloopy. Serve with brown sugar, chopped apple and more milk on top. Decidedly warm... and sticks to my broken rib (and my son's broken arm?)
