Brown Sugar
The other morning I was making the boys porridge, I know I know I’m awesome.
Anyway…
Oh actually did I tell you I don’t even eat porridge and I think it tastes like glue? Yeah so I was making it but not going to eat, it was just for others!
Alright, I’ll get on with it…
So I put some brown sugar on it after serving it up and got some of the sugar on my finger so decided to suck it up, as it was going to taste awful, and just lick it off.
You know what?! It tastes pretty damn good and it was then that I realised I may never have tasted it not in something!!
I know that sounds stupid but since I was a kid I always thought it smelt terrible! So never ate it. My brothers and sister did, but not me, just couldn’t stand that smell.
But I may now just consider it next time… Although I’m not sure what else you put it on besides porridge…

Put it on buttered fresh white bread…awesome…my fam would say to put cream on it too but we all know that cream & I have a hate/hate relationship!

I made porridge again this morning, I’m starting to think that I should put a like button in the sidebar and everytime I do something awesome like this people can just hit it.
Some may say that it’s my job as a parent, but come on really, the kids are almost 4 and almost 3 they could grab themselves a pop tart out of the fridge and put it in the toaster themselves.
This mornings effort I’m told smelt like it was burnt, but I tasted it and it tasted no less average than normal, naturally I put some brown sugar on it due to my new found love for it and those bits tasted ok, but past that I wasn’t too interested.
I also found a small stick in it, if I were to insert a dad joke hear I would say something about it possibly being from the wooden spoon but that’s not my style. So I removed the stick and served it up, how the heck does a stick get in porridge?!
I was going to tell Uncle Toby’s but I’m afriad that they might send me a free box of oats to make more porridge…

*cough cough…2 not 3…cough cough*
I only eat porridge as a vessel for brown sugar! Complain to Uncle Toby’s…one less box for me (or you) to pay for!

I love porridge.
I’m not a fan of brown sugar though (that’s not meant in a racist way). I prefer honey (also, could be taken in a wrong way).
Where is my mind???
