Not too long ago I found a recipe for Teff porridge only because I am trying to figure out other uses for my teff. Haven't tried it yet but you never know.

Would love to see a recipe for congee! With two and a half feet of snow here in DC area, we could really use lots of comfort breakfasts.

You read our minds. I'm very hopeful that someone will submit a congee recipe.

I hope so as well. I love zhou. But it's way out of my skill set, unless I go all Kung Fu Panda overnight. Nah!

How funny! Hadn't thought of that connection.

Are this week's theme a sign that you've had too much chocolate cake, beef stew, and potatoes? Looks like you were hankering for some fiber!

We figured people were in movie-mode with the Oscars approaching.

Oh, I love the themes this week! Hopefully I'll be able to organize myself around them well enough--it's a bit of a crazy week for me: too many bake sales, Valentine's treats, etc. But I'm actually just settling in to watch a movie with my son now, and I have to say I love popcorn (and other snacks). Thanks for the fun. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

OK, what the heck is a porridge? Mushy 9-day-old peas, or is it the Goldilocks just-right oat variety? Or can we do polenta???

My guess is that mushy 9-day-old peas will NOT make it to the finals. ;-)

Porridge is any kind of cooked rice or grain that you'd eat for breakfast. So it could be any kind of oatmeal, grits, congee, farina, etc. Hope that helps!

"Please sir, could I have some more...gruel?" Technically porridge is a diabolical Scottish thing with oats (hey, it goes into haggis). But the term does cover a multitude of sins. Per mrslarkin's comment it does cover polenta as well as grits. But it sounds like, from Amanda's comment, that "breakfast" is what we should be thinking in our offerings. Kept those Caledonians regular.

I think breakfast is a good general parameter for this theme -- but it doesn't necessarily have to be a sweet porridge!
