Final project

Final project: Oatmeal porridge.

Part I: The recipe.

Traditional porridge as defined in Wikipedia:

a thick mixture made with uncooked oatmeal (or medium oatmeal that has been dry toasted by stirring it around in a dry pot over heat until it turns a slightly darker shade and emits a sweet, nutty fragrance) and then adding butter or cream.

I have made this delicious dish because everyone knows the oatmeal, and how it helpful to stay our bodies healthy. People from different country use the oatmeal in huge numbers of recipes like cookie, rolled, cruel, porridge and so on. I like to eat this porridge every morning. In my country, Russia, the oatmeal is allegory of Hercules who was great strength man. It means that oatmeal gives power or strength. The original recipe is from England.

You will need:

Oat organic, organic milk, organic sugar, organic butter and any dry fruits and nuts (dry apricot, dry mango, raiser, cranberry, walnut, and so on).

Part II: The Shopping

This “Natural” store with organic stuffs is located on 72-56 Austin Street, Forest Hills.






It’s my favor store which I always buy healthy food. For my final project I went there and I took some pictures and bought the necessary ingredients for oatmeal porridge.

Here are the costs of all these stuff:
Organic oat $2.49
Organic milk $4.39
Organic sugar $4.99
Organic butter $3.49
Organic green tea $3.39
Some dry fruits and walnut I already had at home.



Part III: The Cooking





You have to wash the oat few times with water.



In saucepan pour little water and add washed oat and turn on the stone.



When water evaporated to add milk and constantly stir until it’s finally cook.



After 10-15 minutes the porridge would be ready, and add a small piece of butter.



Then, depends on your taste you can add some dry fruits and nuts.

Enjoy your oatmeal porridge.

My final note:

Before I was careful to choose some food, but now, after semester I became double careful when I start to buy food. I don’t want to waste money on food that makes me and my family unhealthy. I like to have this porridge for my breakfast. Fairly often I’m used to make porridge on water without any other ingredients to decrease calories in dish. People who want to lose weight can use it because oatmeal contains rich set of nutritious substances, vitamins, and minerals. I am not upholder to eat out side of home. I like to eat at home because it cheaper than in restaurants and I know from which food the dishes made. Also, preparation meal at home makes me satisfied and I enjoy eating homemaking dishes.
