todayiamadaisyHello, f-list. I have been away, and now I'm back, having suffered a Disappointment. Oh, it was disappointing. The hotel my work uses for meetings has a seasonal breakfast menu. As I was heading down to breakfast this morning, I realised it was probably time for the winter menu, so the porridge would be back. The porridge! Their porridge last year was so good. It was officially Porridge with Warm Apricot Compote and Greek Yoghurt (and raspberries, although they weren't mentioned on the menu). I loved that porridge.
And they did have porridge; a new recipe. This year they are offering Porridge with Poached Pears, Honeyed Walnuts and Vanilla Cinnamon Sugar. Which is a lot of sugar, what with the honey and the sugar and the sugar syrup the pears were poached in. And not even any yoghurt to offset it. I could feel my teeth rotting as I ate it. Hmph. I might have to try the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes next time.
What would your name be if you were born in the US today? I would be Sophie, apparently. I'd have been Beulah in the 1930s.
