Tired Old Cold; Long Live Porridge
Spring has certainly been teasing us here in New Mexico. Yesterday - perfect example: sunny and in the 60's, with a strong breeze. Then today: wet, 40's, snowy in parts, generally wintery weather.
Weather like this influences my eating and cooking decisions. After making a few batches of ice cream in the last month, I am reluctant to eat them. Sure, they taste good, but they're just not appealing at the moment. Sorry, strawberry-basalmic, you'll just have to wait until its a wee bit warmer before I can face you again (by which time it will have gone icy and will probably have to be thrown out anyway, a shame).
Not so strangely, my thoughts have started to turn back to things like thick soups, warm and fiery dishes that leave you sweating, and easy filling starches. Tomorrow I'll have some steel-cut oats for breakfast that I cooked this morning - nutty, fragrant and earthy. Damn I loves me some oatmeal. Perhaps I should move to Alaska where every morning is an excuse to make a giant vat of some kind of hot porridge. In the meantime, I will continue my quest to find a local joint that serves steel cut oatmeal on its breakfast menu. Its the holy grail of winter AM food. Wish me luck.
