Porridge
A li'l bit a guinea corn porridge
Wid a li'l bit a goat milk
Is the sweetest thing you ever taste
Believe me ya stomach da feel like silk
-Daisy "Wong" Richardson
I am a born again porridge lover. Growing up I ate it of course...along with that quintessential Canadian food Red River Cereal. It doesn't get much better than sitting beside a crackling wood stove on a frosty morning with a bowl of brown-sugar laden hot grains. But after I left home hot cereals fell out of vogue with me for some reason. Now, older and wiser, porridge is once again part of my morning ritual.
My favourite way of preparing it is to throw a handful of sunflower seeds and a handful of wild cranberries into the pot as it's cooking. When it's done, all that's needed is a bit of milk and a generous glug of maple syrup. Mmmm.
