The story of Sweet Porridge

So in between the pictures from Israel and Palestine I want to tell you a short story called “Sweet Porridge” it’s one of the Grimms' Fairy Tales and I really liked it as a kid.

The story is about a little, poor girl who lived alone with her mother. As they no longer had anything to eat, the girl went into a big dark forest where she met an old woman. The old woman knew about the poverty and gave her a little pot. The girl should tell the pot “little pot, cook” and then it would cook good and sweet porridge. When you tell the pot “little pot, stop” it would stop.
So the girl took the pot home to her mother and they were freed of poverty and hunger.

One day the girl went out and her mother told the little pot to cook, and cooking it did. But she forgot how to stop it from cooking. So it went on with cooking and the porridge rose over the edge and filled the whole kitchen and then the whole house. By the time the little girl came back the whole house and the street was full with porridge. She told the little pot to stop and it did stop. And to come back to the house they had to eat their way into the house ;) 

Now if you want to cook porridge for yourself I want to show you how to do it. 

You need:

1 cup of Milk (I use milk, but you can also use water or a mixture of both)

1 cup of oatmeal

And if you want to some more taste:  fruits, nuts, sugar or other stuff

What to do:

Pour the milk and the oatmeal into a pot and start boiling.

Cut the fruit in small pieces and when the ingredients in the pot boil but the fruits, sugar and stuff like that into it. You can vary the tasty ingredients like you want them. Sometimes I really like apples, so I put apples in there. On other days I really like nuts, so I put them in it. Some days I put sugar and cinnamon in the porridge and sometimes I put nothing in it. 

I really love to eat porridge for breakfast. So I cook it in the evening and put it in a lunchbox (put it in the fridge till morning) and take it to university. 

Till then, enjoy it ;)
