Scottish Oats

Perhaps it was my fix of haggis last night that did it; this morning I woke up with thoughts of a healthy, hearty breakfast and what better than another Scottish dish...porridge!

from this...

to this...in just 3 minutes

To my basic bowl of this satisfying grain (made with half cup of oats and one cup of semi-skimmed milk) I added a sliced banana and some lovely runny honey...delicious and from jar to bowl in only 3 minutes!

Breakfast or Brunch

It's been ages since the Handymand and I have made time for a proper cooked breakfast, but by gaining an extra hour yesterday we decided the time was ripe.

It coincided with the last of the Holly Grove tomatoes and a recent trip to our local butcher resulting in bacon, sausage and free range eggs.  Though the kitchen is in upheaval (more of that to follow in a future post) we made a space to sit down and enjoy our brunch.

Not the healthiest of breakfasts but once in a while a real treat!
