Porridge, Oats So Simple, or.....?
Posted: 03 Jan 2011, 18:09
I'd like to try self sploshing with porridge, but don't know if I should be using "real" porridge (whatever that really is) or an instant porridge like Oats So Simple and would welcome some guidance. I think I'm looking for the consistency that Hayley used in her 12 days of sploshness, but the problem is that my sploshing has to be alone these days and the easiest place to do this is our house on the Costa Del Sol later in January.
The downside is that I have to take powdered products with me in my my suitcase on EasyJet, so weight and bulk is an important factor. I generally take 7 or 8 packets of Asda instant custard and 4 or 5 Asda "angel delights" - which helps to keep the cost down, i can buy eggs cheaply in Spain and honey/maple syrup/chocolate sauce is fairly reasoanbly priced and accessible on the Costa, as is pureed tomatoes - very very cheap, very messy and very red.
So firstly I'd like some guidance on what product, and if it can be made with hot water or if it has to be milk (longlife milk is more freely available in my part of Spain than fresh milk), and then I have to figure out if it will fit into the suitcase and it's weight allowance, and then how much to use.
Many thanks - MB
