Poncey Porridge
Sometimes a girl just gets a notion to make a real swanky, like-I-paid-for-this breakfast for herself. This porridge (oatmeal, for my North American readers) was such a breakfast:
Unusually, I made the porridge with milk rather than water. To top, I toasted some more oats, and then scattered with some recently defrosted rasps (for that slightly cold bite!) and a glug of double cream. It tasted as good as it looked.
Unfortunately I did then have indigestion for most of the rest of the morning. Such indulgences are not to be taken on trivially, it seems!
you’ll need to take to drugs, my girl
by which I mean, with your digestion, an investment in a prescription of ranitidine or omeprazole mightn’t go amiss… you can’t fight genetics
i do keep a little stash of ranitidine in various places, although usually the over the counter stuff where you have to take about four to get any effect. I have had prescriptions in the past. Food isn’t *generally* a prpoblem, however heartburn at work is a *most* effective indicator that I need to delegate/say no/chill out a bit more.
Fair enough. Yes the OTC stuff is pretty weedy…
Did you ever get checked for H Pylori? (sorry this is getting a bit personal for a blog!)
Nope. I think I have had a succession of bacterial non-believers for GPs, or summink. The current one seems super though, so perhaps I will mention it.
Those rasps look divine. I need to thaw some of the luscious blueberries I picked and froze in August, I think it is high time to enjoy them.
They were just from the supermarket too, I hadn’t even picked them at a Pick Your Own farm (or grown them, lol!) and they are dead good. But then the Scots would have it that the best raspberries in the world come from Scotland. They need the cold.
This does not hold for other berries.
