This morning I made my porridge with orange juice instead of milk, for an experiment. Oats, dried apricot and sultanas, and rice-malt, and the orange juice of course. It wasn't bad, but the orange tended to drown out all the other flavours -- even the dried apricot! At least I know it basically works. Maybe another time I'll try apple juice with dried apples and spices. That would probably be quite nice.

I make bircher muesli: 3T organic rolled oats soaked in water overnight or for at least 15 minutes, grated apple, a little lemon juice, and 1T each of sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and LSA. It's also very nice with plain yoghurt.

LSA?

I don't tend to like to mix nuts with sweet things.

Mixture of linseed, sesame, and almonds.

Nuts add crunch, but then dried apricots would be too sweet for me. Everyone's got different taste.

True. I just like to keep my sweet and my savoury things separate; I'm peculiar that way.

And I love dried apricots. 8-)
