Wel...Here are a couple of tidbits from Uncle John. <br />Well first, I call myself an Urban Peasant, not a hippie, though hippies are great. <br />Second, we use a three quart 'waterless' pot; with rye, oats and barley, plenty of water, bring to a roaring boil and then turn to simmer for 20 minutes, turn the fire off and leave overnight to cool slowly. <br />Nowadays we mostly omit the wheat 'cause it takes longer to cook; besides I use wheat and rye 50/50 in the sour dough Pain Meteuil bread I bake. <br />Third I use a large rectangular glass container with glass lid for storing my porridge in the fridge and only re-heat the portion(s) I need — glass is food safe and made from sand not oil. <br />Fourth, there is nothing wrong with cereal that is beginning to sour. Dot taught me to make what we call "Middle Eastern Cereal" by adding Cumin, curry powder, cayenne etc to make an enticing tasty brunch. <br />A little secret, truth be told, Dot generally cooks ours late at night while she is reading, I just store it and eat it — then tell her when I'm ready for another batch.<br />Wendy's Uncle John<br />Coming attraction? An independent documentary movie about Dot, filmed here by Pat Somers and Willow Denker, will be previewed in Ashland October 16th at Havurah on Mountain Avenue.Raven's Perchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151977320942140643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-56235191676117640322010-09-02T12:57:37.734-07:002010-09-02T12:57:37.734-07:00I think aunt Dot just became a celebrity overnight...I think aunt Dot just became a celebrity overnight!Jennie @ Modern Mamazhttp://www.modernmamaz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-89780061982700067092010-09-02T08:32:11.904-07:002010-09-02T08:32:11.904-07:00Might ave to put Aunt Dot's photo up somewhere...Might ave to put Aunt Dot's photo up somewhere as a reminder of awesomeness to myself.<br />Great photos and the food looks fantastic!Jennifer Junehttp://www.theladyslounge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-32773354078529068972010-09-02T07:11:05.250-07:002010-09-02T07:11:05.250-07:00We have a mini-crockpot just for this purpose...my...We have a mini-crockpot just for this purpose...my only suggestion is that there tends to be a lot of evaporation, so extra liquid is necessary to prevent a giant lump in the morning.

I love the woman, she has so many strengths...but food was not one of them. And now my son doesn't want to eat ANYTHING (He's about the same age as Fable). I'm going to try this though, he likes oatmeal.
