    Just turn the heat up high and stir, oh and use a non-stick pan. Microwaves are low rent.

    Water and salt. Only.

    Of course I also like the honey, cream and whisky version Cranachan, but that makes the drive to work interesting.

    If you want 600 menu choices go to a Chinese restaurant. At the Auberge de MTT we limit our menu choices to ensure consistent high quality dining.

    Never touch the stuff. Breakfast is made with sausages and bacon, not oats.

    Never tried it with just water. Or salt, olives or anything but milk and sugar.
