Day two of the great porridge and soup diet has hit a bit of a snag. I've run out of clean saucepans.
As great as porridge is, and I do genuinely love it, making it in a saucepan does add an element of arsery and as I've been working elsewhere this week, in a proper office, I've not had time to wash them up.
So was back to corn flakes this morning.
I know porridge can be done in the bowl in a microwave, but that always ends up a right mess. For some reason, no matter how hard I try to get the measurements right, it always seems to explode and I'm left with the inside of the microwave looking like an accident in a fireworks factory in a leper colony. Ew.
Running with the FB Running Club tonight, hope it's not too grim out there.

Tip 1: Quaker "Oats So Simple" microwave porridgey stuff has an added ingredient to stop it boiling over in the microwave. Soya lecithin, or something? I read that somewhere on the Kamikaze Cookery blog. It certainly seems to work.
Tip 2: wash the bloody saucepan as soon as you've poured the porridge into the bowl. It's the only way to do it.
Make one big batch for the week on the stove. Each morning you can scoop some into a bowl and nuke it with a little extra milk to loosen it up.
Washing powder gets rid of stuck-on porridge. Fact.
You can also make your own bircher museli to start the day in an oaty way - I love that stuff. Lots of recipes online - here's one of them -
