porridge

after my epic coffeemaker failure, i had to soothe my bruised ego with a fail proof dish.

(aside: actually, i've managed to mess up porridge.v1 a few weeks ago, so maybe not so fail proof)

boiled some prawns last night and reduced the stock till it was just the right volume for my mini crock. then i threw in a sliced yellow onion for good measure, a quartered tomato, dried scallops that are mini miracles in and of themselves, and of course, rice.

plugged it in to cook while i went to bed and i woke to the most delicious aroma. had half of it before rushing out of the house to the court of appeal at the unearthly hour of 8am and the remainder after the said excursion, which lasted all of half an hour -_-

fail proof as the cooking was though, there was still this mini oopsie. don't think my landlord's going to appreciate the burn marks on the table.
