its Unknown Visitor ...
 
Once apon a time, in a spare room, just over there, lived Greg the chinchilla, look at Greg dance, dance Greg Dance, dancing Greg, look;
Anyone got any bacon?
 
 I know, I know, its an abomination. Porridge should* only be served (and made), using milk and salt... but... but... But, wow. coco powder, and 70% coco content dark Belgium choc 
I didn't have it today mind, I had a sudden and overwelking requirement to eat cheese for breakfast today.  hmmm... maybe for lunch

That does sound pretty good.
I had a boiled egg. Mind you - I've never been overwhelked - perhaps they would have persuaded me to change my mind......
Chocolate porridge - definitely a guilty pleasure. Especially with white chocolate. (Dark chocolate gives me "tummy trouble")
Ooo! not had white choc in years! Definately not the sort of thing I want to be eating all the time, everyday Now trying to decide what to have for lunch (was toast this morning, with cheese  for breakfast)... mmmm... tempted to do the choc porridge for lunch instead now     though I do have a supprising amount of duck eggs in the fridge, laid on Thursday/Friday  seems strange eating the eggs from the ducks I've actually met 
Chocolate porridge is the mutts' nuts. That is all.
Its alright then I take it? I must* get round to do it tommorrow minnowing before I start on the biological hazard tacticle diployment and arrangement, and make bread...  Not sure how much of the coco powder to put in though... or the dark choc... Is it supper time yet?

Oh you'll like this one, Leggsy. Guinness chana dhal simmering away on the stove. Just had a sneak preview and it's very indeed!
 so, channa lentals, (onion garlic ginger etc?), and not water... but guinness...
*thinks*
I'm really not sure what that would taste like! I've still never gotten round to making guinness bread....

To be honest the stout taste doesn't come through the spices very strongly, but it adds a bit of richness and makes it a lovely dark colour. Think I should make some naan to go with it...
I think Guinness could work well in a kinda treacle bread...
I've never really had anything like treackle bread, which is one reason I've not tried to make it... I'm just not sure waht its meant to turn out like
I've not made naan in ages... I never managed to quite get it right for some reason
If you want a refined cocktail to go with all this, try Guinness and condensed milk. I can't remember the ideal proportions, but I do remember getting through a lot of both trying to find out.
that sounds either very disgusting or very tasty... Ican't make up my mind which, without having tried it!   
Mind... I'd much rather have a pint of the oatmeal stout they had at a pub near me, oo back about Christmas time I think it was... can't remember the brewery, but gosh that were very*tasty... probably one of my favorite stouts ... just wish I ever s saw it anywhere else

I've heard that's big in Jamaica - Guinness punch, they call it. Not sure I'd like it, but maybe I'll give it a go. According to google it tastes a bit like chai.
It is surprisingly far less horrible than it sounds.
Sam Smiths do a lovely oatmeal stout. And I think the Hop Back brewery do one as well? I do like a good heavy stout now and then. Erm, I think Netherseale did an Entire Stout that was pretty chewy as well.
Entire stout is the regular stout at my local... and they supplement that with useually one or two other dark beers, at the moment Oscar wild Mild, but it was the oatmeal stout for a while... probably the hopback one, as they often have other hopback beer on mind, the bayjing black was rather decent too when they had that on, last summer Mind, I do like our local Milton Stout, nero stout when they've had that on... hmm... actually had a new Milton beer I'd not seen before a couple Sunday's ago... that was a kinda dark one too... but can't quite rmember what it was called now
No choc porridge today... had to use the milk up for the wholemeal rolls Baguettes cooking at the moment, wholemeal rolls cooling down on the cooling rack  maybe just a little* bit of baguette with some cheese for a late lunch... well... when I say little... just half a 15 inch baguette I mean... Damnit... just remembered, all out of Brie until I restock Wednesday...
