Jesse Gets a Hug...


My sister passed away from cancer last spring. She had fought very hard to be here for the birth of her son's first child. Sadly she wasn't here for the birth of Jesse in August.
My brother in law brought me some of her clothes in the summer. I am using what I can, but wanted to weave three Debbie memory rugs for him, and for my niece and nephew.
I finished two of the rugs on Sunday, just on time to deliver them to my niece and nephew in the city.
I got home yesterday to find this lovely photo in my inbox. Sweet baby Jesse sound asleep under the memory rug, getting a hug from his Grandma Debbie.

Oatmeal Gruel

When I was a young child my dad's mom, my grandma Eaton would come and stay for long visits. She would make this gruel for us, and it has always been a favourite of mine. I eat it most mornings for breakfast.


Oatmeal Gruel


oatmeal gruel

Equal parts quick oats, water and milk, with salt and pepper to taste.

I use 1/2 cup of each, and I use soy milk.
Combine together and cook until thickened to your liking.
I eat it out of a big mug.
Easy peasey, enjoy!
