Tips for sweetening porridge......

[Laughing-Gravy]

...but not with honey (yuk) At the mo I'm using two sweeteners then stirring in some Options chocolate drink powder ( banana and Turkish Delight are both gorgeous !!) but I don't want to get bored.
Any tips please, I am DETERMINED to lose weight !!!

kiki - granny's drawer was in an old wooden sideboard - my mum was one of shed loads of kids so it was a nutritious filing snack that they could take to school. My mum tells me that on the rare occasion that a piece of chocolate came into the house, it was carefully melted and spread on plain rich tea biscuits so everyone could get a taste.

Annie, I once heard of a Uni student who did the same with the porridge drawer, He died of scurvy I believe, that was quite a few years ago though.

lol ratter, I can confirm that granny's porridge drawer did exist having been the recipient of a slice when I was a child. No scurvy though, cos i guess they ate other things too - and good old granny always put currants in it .
