@Roberta,
This is annoying. First of all, I barely remember this story. I wasn't raised on foofies. Something about bears and wolves? Or am I mixing up stuff?
Porridge - I take that as congee, a rice dish for millions.
Or oatmeal. I've always hated oatmeal, slimo, except in cookies. I don't care if it's irish. Recently I've made oatmeal pancakes, but they are not terrible given some syrup.
Blonds, don't get me started. Men get pencil eyes around blonds.
This is actually useful, as the scum can be skimmed.
Some of my best friends, to quote a serious quote, are blonds.
Not dumb.
