Rolling One's Wild Oats

Sound advice from The King Of Porridge:

'soak 1/4 cup of pearl barley for 5-10 minutes then put it on the stove for at least 5-10 minutes before you add your oats. then cook as normal. crunchy porridge!! and it keeps you full for ages.'

If it weren't colder than a witch's tit outside*, and not a twenty minute walk to the nearest barley-dispensary, that is what I would be having for dinner. ZooBear does like her porridge.

* Odd expression, that one. From my humble experience witch's tits, even supernumerary ones, are no colder than other tits...
