Into a pot or saucepan pur 2 (more or less) glasses of cold water. Add a half glass, (more or less) of Red River cereal (Sunny Boy has some noxious chemical additive!) Bring to a boil, strirring frequently and lifting the pot off the stove when it threatens to boil over. Reduce heat so it doesn't.
Cook for 5-10 minutes (until the radio news is over, TV news takes too long) Turn off the heat. Stir in a spoonfull of bran (A handfull or two, leter, when you develop the taste for it, and a constitution to match).
Add honey, syrup, or other; or no sweetener, to taste. To each helping in bowl (or pot) add a handfull of raisins, sliced banana and milk to go with the sweetener or instead of it. This porridge will be enhanced by a slice or two of heavy brown bread unspoiled by salt, butter, jam or other pollutant. (When pot is empty, set it in a sink and fill with cold water as it will be easy to wash later-like in a day or two) For added variety (once you start having this dish more than a couple times a day) top it off with cherries or Special K and/or strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries or Saskatoons, according to season...
(Repeated from a Cdn Prairies Church cookbook, the original farmers and settlers from the early 1900's having their say on cooking...you wonder why they were so healthy?)
