Excuse me young gazza. I make porridge every morning for my girls. A small saucepan with some water in it. Add oats (real ones not prepack sachet oat-so-ripoff shit). Stir about for a bit then serve in a bowl with milk (soya or cow milk depends what you prefer). Put raisins or blueberries on top. Porridge doesn't need to be made with milk. The milk goes on top after making it. I'm inherently lazy so this suits me. Every evening I weigh out 2 x 40g and 1 x 20g of porridge oats (asda mornflakes Β£2.22 for 2kg we are in the land of the plastic jock remember) 1 x 180ml whole milk 1 x 90ml whole milk for me and the dwarf, 1 x 180ml water for Mrs Gazza. Mine and the dwarfs are by far the best Mrs Gazza does add blueberries, not keen myself, they are for muffins only. All three cooked in the Popty Ping. ETA, I do it at night to save a bit of time in the morning, we don't have it for supper

Timely reminder, don't eat yellow snow. when I take the dogs for a walk on the lead I always give them time to sniff and pee on fences and trees........ now that I can see the yellow snow as soon as they can smell it, I feel slightly revolted when they insist on sniffing it with such interest.

maybe its worth looking at the UHT option? I hate UHT milk. I always take a pack of UHT milk when I go boating on the yogurt pot, to supplement the fresh milk when it goes sour and to avoid filling my small electric coolbox with stuff that displaces butter and cheese. ..................... thing is, how long does it last? I still have a pack from June 2017 sitting in the fridge at home.

I also drink black tea if i run out..cannot do black coffee

You know, I've not bought fresh milk since I "left home"... for the past 28 years it's been uht skimmed or semi skimmed ever since - I suppose when we have folk on board we better try and fit in some fresh stuff...

If you are possibly just going to have milk sat in the fridge for any length of time, it is probably worth your while buying one of the extra filtered fresh milks like Cravendale. Although I am not a lover of the output of great conglomerates like Arla, that product has a very long "use by" date usually 3 weeks if unopened and then a week when opened.

I am inclined to agree with the milkman I was at sea when UHT was first being produced ...... it was an improvement over the dried milk we were using until then (that was pure shite) ..... but only just

UHT isn't too bad, have you ever had to suffer sterilised milk in tea. Eeuuugh!
Re porridge accompaniment, we make it with oats and some muesli, water not milk, I put home made marmalade or blackcurrant jam in mine. Yum.

According to Grandma, porridge should be made with water and a liberal dose of salt then stewed overnight (a bit like her cabbage). No leaving the table until you have finished...

When I was a kid I always got confused when they said it would stick to my ribs.

Although I am not a lover of the output of great conglomerates like Arla, that product has a very long "use by" dateΒ usually 3 weeks if unopened and then a week when opened. We've been using Cravendale for the last three years, for a few reasons:- It seemed easier to transition the dwarf from formula to cow juice with the filtered stuff. I used to buy and freeze normal milk so we always had some in stock, no need to do this with Cravendale. It's not that expensive if you have room for 2 x 4 pints, Asda and the Co-op always seems to have it on buy two for Β£3.00 On the boat it definitely keeps better, normal cow juice goes off after a few days of being gently churned, temperature not an issue as our fridge works well. The only drawback is we have to buy it in 2 pint bottles but again it's actually cheaper than throwing out knackered milk before we have a chance to finish it. In a blind taste test I'm not convinced I'd tell the difference, I only take milk with porridge and cereal so the lions share goes to Mrs Gazza and the dwarf, they both seem happy with it ππ»
