[Sca-cooks] oatmeal/hot cereal?

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

you should be able to do almost any kind of oatmeal, but set it near. not
in.. the fire.
i cooked porridge once "on the fire"......
i put barley, and rice, and lentils in water to "soak" and forgot them
overnight.
they were next to the fire pit.
they were cooked in the morning
