Breakfast fail

[louiselux]

The gods of porridge would like me to eat toast this morning.

Aw. I hate when that happens!

(And usually just transfer it to a new, clean bowl...)

Sadly, most of it was outside of the bowl. My beautiful porridge! It was jumbo oats, too.

Porridge volcano! Right there in the nuke-ro-wave!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Right! My very own porridgeocalypse.

You know if you crop that just so it would make an awesome pic/icon or something!

But... sorry to hear about your non-porridge. however as suggested above was it still not salvageable after a change of crockery?

Toast is good though. With Jam! Wallace and Gromit have jam on toast and porridge on Tuesdays. ^_~ *hugs* Hope your day is a good one!

Tragically 90% of the porridge leapt from the bowl and all over the microwave plate.

I had a banana in the end. You can't go wrong with that. *hugs*

LOL Yes, I think the universe is trying to tell you something. ;D

It was definitely a message - possibly that I need to clean the microwave.

hee! i confess that when you said "porridge," my brain jumped to "rice porridge," i.e. congee, which made the actual photo a bit of a non-sequitur. xD

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I have never had congee. I must rectify this.

Oh yes that has happened to me all too often, I'm now back to cooking it on the stove.

Moi aussi.

It's safer. I was only following the instructions on the packet, too.

I think part of the problem is that microwaves vary so much in power levels. That's why Essence of Burnt Popcorn is such a common olfactory note around offices.

I have that problem with porridge so often it's not funny. I've experimented with different timings, stirrings, oat-to-water ratios, oat-to-milk ratios, windspeed and even brand of oats. Totally unpredictable.

My conclusion? Porridge is an alien life form sent to drive me insane every morning for the whole of winter. GRRR! (Wouldn't matter but it's so yummy when it's just right, with a little honey and a pinch of cinnamon.. *whimper*)

Been there, done that, had a heartbreaking time cleaning the mikeywave afterwards.

Porridge on the stove however leads to a hideous time cleaning the pot.

Breakfast soy shake it is.

I guess this is one upside of having to feed a voracious horde. (I have to cook 6 adult serves of porridge and then often give away more than half of my own serve to silence the heartrending cries of 'more porridge' from my 18 month-old and 3 year-old. I dread their teenage years.) There's no way I can fit that much porridge in the microwave. It never explodes on the stove-top.

I microwave for a minute, stir, m/w for another minute. Which ALMOST always avoids the breakfast fail. Then stir in lots of honey. Nomnomnom. Best.Breakfast.Ever. For taste, health, keeping you full 'til lunch, everything.
