Porridge is a dish made by boiling grains, legumes, or starchy plants like oats, rice, cornmeal, or barley in water or milk until it reaches a soft, thick, and creamy consistency. It’s often eaten as a breakfast food and can be sweetened with sugar, honey, or fruit, or flavored with spices and other ingredients.
Common examples include oatmeal, rice porridge (like congee), and millet porridge. The specific ingredients and preparation vary widely across cultures and regions.
Not to be confused with grits; a specific type of porridge made from corn, with a distinct texture and cultural role, while porridge is a broader category encompassing many grains and preparations.

…”There’s not good math explaining forget the physics of it. Math explaining the behavior of complex systems yeah and that to me is both exciting and paralyzing like we’re at very early days of understanding you know how complicated and fascinating things emerge from simple rules…” — Peter Woit [1:16:00]
Since 1936 the Brown Jug has been the ancestral trough of generations of University of Michigan students and faculty — notably. Donald Glaser (inventor of the bubble chamber) and Samuel C. C. Ting (Nobel Laureate) whose offices at Randall Laboratory were a 2-minute walk around the corner from The Brown Jug. As the lore goes, the inspiration happened whilst watching beer bubbles one ordinary TGIF Friday.

Wiener Melange is a classic Viennese coffee specialty originating in 19th-century. The traditional standard consists of a shot of espresso or strong black coffee (often Mokka) mixed with steamed milk in equal parts, topped with a generous dollop of frothy milk foam. Unlike a cappuccino, it skips cocoa dusting and emphasizes a velvety texture.
Sugar is optional, served on the side. Frequently paired with Apfelstrudel and a glass of water.

Banana Pudding Overnight Oats is a delicious and nutritious breakfast dish made by combining rolled oats, mashed bananas, milk, and other flavorings, and allowing them to sit and “soak” in the refrigerator overnight. This results in a creamy, flavorful, and satisfying bowl of oats that are ready to eat in the morning without any cooking required. It’s convenient make-ahead breakfast option that can be customized to suit individual tastes and dietary preferences. Here’s a simple recipe for Banana Pudding Overnight Oats:
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana, mashed 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup milk (any type of milk, such as dairy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk) 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar) Additional banana slices, crushed cookies, or whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and sweetener to the bowl with the mashed banana. Stir well to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir and adjust the sweetness or consistency to taste by adding more sweetener or milk if desired. Serve the Banana Pudding Overnight Oats in bowls or jars, and garnish with additional banana slices, crushed cookies, or whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and creamy Banana Pudding Overnight Oats for a nutritious and convenient breakfast!
