Rainie, after our conversation the other day when you reminded me about what I had said about toast. Since I have been eating porridge oats and cereals with hot milk for breakfast for a couple of months since they are easier for me to swallow, with a mug of hot water. I felt on Monday that my swallowing had improved somewhat. So yesterday morning I had a slice of multi grain toast with lashings of melted butter, washed down with a mug of strong filter coffee. Oh my goodness how delicious the toast and coffee were, it made me feel so happy and set me up for the day. I had good old porridge oats and coffee today. Such simple pleasure from simple foods and drinks. Happy days. Kind regards Frank.
Oh, that sound delicious - I've had to avoid multigrain toast as I pay for it with the fermentation vat boiling up in my gut. I've replaced it with toasted hot cross buns and it's just as yummy.
Hugs, Barb xx

Blueberries I'd like. I love all berries and have a freezer full of redcurrents and blueberries from the garden. I love mango, but would be spending the rest of the day getting it out of my teeth! I will try the blueberries next time. Do you end up with purple porridge? Rainie x
I often have toast and jam or marmalade for my tea if I don't have any appetite as that always goes down well. Porridge with golden syrup and double cream on reminds me of my childhood and staying with my grandma I was a spoilt only grandchild and this was a treat, I still enjoy that now
My mum used to make a 'Golden' sponge pudding when I was a kid with the syrup at the bottom of the basin and it soaked into the sponge. Loved it with custard. Your porridge would be a certain way to help put on weight when needed and easy to swallow. Do you fancy that Frank? Rainie x
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm, got me drooling here. My mum did the same in the microwave, always came out gorgeous and so easy to do.
Hugs, B xx
