Scary Gary by Mark Buford for July 15, 2023

Raisins, cinnamon, milk, apples or other fresh fruits. Etc.

Gary’s just ticked that Leopold gave him the finger.

And we don’t know where that finger’s been, either!!!

A friend was on a business trip to Singapore. At the hotel restaurant for breakfast the waiter asked “Do you take porridge?” She thought to herself, “Oatmeal? Yeah, that sounds safe.” Who would have expected fish heads?

Leo gets a thumbs up! :D

Even Leopold’s cooking has gone digital.

I usually put flies in my oatmeal (rasins).

It’s like sausage in grits.

You missed your chance to do a gopher butts joke (“mole a$$es”), Leo.

Maybe cinnamon and sugar, raisins, ….fruit…..

Well, peanut butter for one.

Brown sugar and cream

Raisins, brown sugar, and butter work for me…..

No matter what you do to it, it still looks like snot. Gimme a sausage roll and a Guiness.

I can never get full on finger food

Good idea, Leo… I think you nailed it!

Mix ins

I put peas in my oatmeal. What, you have never heard of peas porridge? Unfortunately, you have to keep it in the refrigerator for 9 days.

Use fruits that are over ripe. Cook them in a bit of sugar, a t?uch of salt, water and desired sp?ces (seriously GK, someone found “sp?ces” offensive???) . Cook until bubbly and thickened a bit. Empty into a bowl you are using for eating. Cook oatmeal as usual, towards the end add back in the fruit and stir. Add cream or milk, if using. Stir very gently (do not over mix cream). Done. Serve with extra milk, a bit of brown sugar on top, or cinnamon sugar sprinkle.

Spaces. Spoces. Spuces. Spyces.

Some folks settle for adding some cinnamon, or maybe some chocolate chips. But I guess that’s too tame for your tastes, Leopold….

Just add blood and tears.
