Soothing Oatmeal Porridge.

Boy Eating Porridge

I was asked to participate in a recipe circle (me??). What was wanted was a recipe I know by heart and could jot down quickly, for something I'd eat when I didn't have a lot of time. Here's my answer.

Soothing Oatmeal Porridge.

Choose the appropriate oatmeal for your mood:
Steel-Cut for those vigorous mornings, Rolled Oats for regular days, Scottish Oatmeal for when you need pampering.

Toss into a pot and begin to heat it. A touch of salt is good.

Although I haven't ironed out all the bugs yet (eew! What an awful thing to do to a bug!) I'm launching a daughter blog to go with this one. It is exclusively for audio and video interviews, story readings, and so on. I'll still post such things here, but for simpler storage and easier finding, the other blog will be the place to go.

Here is the scoop:

Turkey Readings Revealed!

...In which I attempt to explain what the VCon Turkey Readings are, and to give a small demonstration of their evil power.

Battling Dragons! WITH THE MOST CAREFUL ENUNCIATION

As you may know, I suffer from fibromyalgia. This makes it difficult to write or mouse for long periods of time, and leaves me suffering sometimes for weeks if I do too much.

Some while ago, my very kind sister Ani sent me Dragon Naturally Speaking 7. This software enables the user to speak into a microphone while it transcribes their words. The idea is sublime. The reality, however is not quite perfect. Despite buying a highly recommended Logitech microphone headset, and patiently training...

An Eclectic Buffet
by Jess Mowry, author of Way Past Cool

I have seldom been disappointed with a story collection, though I may have been disappointed with one or more of the stories in them. Still...

Women Who Run With the Werewolves: My BBB Video Interview

Here she be. The Dreaded Webcam Interview. Worked out pretty well, all in all. If you look carefully you will see a hand-made clay pot in the background. I did that! With a little help from Persimmon Blackbridge, many long year ago. It's a copy of a neolithic owl goddess pot.
