I'm happy my husband has taken over much of the grocery shopping, though, as I don't have as many opportunities to indulge in impetuous food purchases. I liked seeing your interesting, healthy recipes, too.

I use about 120 ml cold milk stirred into one and a half tbsps whizzed oats and microwave in the bowl (covered with a saucer) for two blasts of forty seconds each, stirring in between. A larger quantity might take a few seconds longer but not much.

Your board made me smile. I'm sure there is a greek myth that would describe mine. It gradually loses bits all by itself.
