Scotch Porridge
If the family consists of 6 persons, take 3 qts. of water, and bring to a boil, take your spurtle (the Scotch for pot-stick or mush-stick), keep the pot on the fire, take the oatmeal in your left hand (of course, only right-handed girls-can make this), and let it drop gently through your fingers into the boiling water, stir briskly for 10 minutes, and you will have a. most delicious dish; salt to taste. "
Remarks. —It strikes the author that this would not only be more "delicious " if made pretty thick with the oatmeal and then thinned with 1 qt. of rich milk, all made hot together, but more nourishing also. I always like to get the greatest possible good out of a dish, in fact, out of every thing, while it is on hand or being made.
