I think technically that counts as gruel. Don’t get me wrong, though, I’m all in favor of gruel, and the kind of thing your doing, but it’s a fun word to use.

I sometimes do something like this too, cooking oatmeal with extra water, some Better then Bouillon, some chopped onion, carrot or whatever vegetables I have handy. Maybe hot sauce or whatever spices I’m feeling. I haven’t done this in a while, thanks for reminding me, we’re getting into good weather for this kind of thing!
