Description

I grew up on porridge in Jamaica either oatmeal, cornmeal, or farina (cream of wheat) and on those chilly mornings, rainy mornings, and sometimes evenings I still crave and would make either. My young adult children still love either as well, because I may no longer be in Jamaica but I raised them on it. I like to enjoy mine with crackers.
