Like Strawberries. Just use flummery in place of pectin and process it the same way you normally do.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659985126062210644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-13779195677092951242008-05-26T23:26:00.000+03:002008-05-26T23:26:00.000+03:00Mmmh, I love oats in all forms and shapes, but my ...Mmmh, I love oats in all forms and shapes, but my "significant one" thinks it stinks already badly enough when I make porridge for breakfast...<BR/>I wonder what he is going to say if I try the fermented versione ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-4343289141548087812008-05-25T13:14:00.000+03:002008-05-25T13:14:00.000+03:00What a touching story.

I would rather skip the EATING part.<BR/><BR/>The post also associated with my favourite author Alexander McCall Smith: he speaks of a lone young man wearing a sweater the colour of distressed oatmeal.

I remember it took the whole day to cook (after fermenting was finished). As a child I was convinced my granddad wanted it because he liked the thought of his loving wife diligently preparing food for hours, just for him.<BR/><BR/>Beware, it is NOT edible. ;) But as it belongs to wicked category "sheep eyes for special guests", it is something to offer to Anthony Bourdain, should he visit.<BR/>Terv, KadriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-33280756849037109522008-05-19T21:26:00.000+03:002008-05-19T21:26:00.000+03:00Hello,I've been reading your blog for ages but hav...Hello,<BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog for ages but have been silent up till now. But this post really touched me! I'm very close to my grandparents- thankfully they're both still alive & well- and I know that an important part of our closeness is the foods we've eaten together. Taste is so closely related to memory, I feel... my paternal grandmother died years ago & I still distinctly remember her chocolate cake & her meatballs in tomato sauce.

I never knew my paternal grandfather and only met my maternal grandfather once or twice. I can't say I'm entirely convinced of the wisdom or deliciousness of this dish... but I love the idea of honouring somebody by making their favourite dish.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-86800873721674493932008-05-16T14:30:00.000+03:002008-05-16T14:30:00.000+03:00Pile, this is a most wonderful story Both the reme...Pile, this is a most wonderful story Both the remembrance and the dish create a unique thing...honestly, this is more than just a post...one can tell that there's a bit (or a lot) of you inside.
