#gruel

For most communities the New Year began with the first full moon of the first month.

It was customary to eat 'azuki-gayu' (小豆粥), a rice gruel mixed with red adzuki beans, for health and to exorcise evil spirits.
Red was considered a protective colour, especially against disease.

**Water and Gruel – not Bread: Discovering the Diet of Early Neolithic Farmers in Scandinavia**

_“The results support a hypothesis that archaeobotanists and archaeologists elsewhere in Northern Europe also have proposed after discovering remains of grains cooked into porridge and gruel: that the first farmers did not live on water and bread but rather on water and gruel, alongside berries, nuts, roots, and meat.”_

@cwebber honestly I was like how is she gonna do this all #gruel all the time thing but wow this is some glam looking #GourmetGruel right here

Back from my diet, which means more #pottageposting! Today: oat #gruel with spinach, cheese, chickpeas, and garlic jam #pottagecore

Tried to make a proper thin #gruel, came downstairs to my rice cooker sputtering everywhere.

Nonetheless, the experiment was a success. "Thin, but not too thin." Mr. Woodhouse would approve. #pottagecore

who's getting sick of all this hot #gruel / #pottagecore / #pottagecosting content?!?!

... well too bad get ready for another 6 months of it! I'm not stoppin'

Congee is such a thin #gruel you can basically eat as much of it as you want. Mr. Woodhouse would be very delighted to see a cup of congee.

I decided to slice up an apple and pour some congee over it as a snack to carry me through the morning!

Another morning, another #gruel.

This one's congee, basically the best kind of true gruel: 8-10 cups of water to 1 cup of dry rice. Makes a ton.

Served it over bananas with a dash of milk. #pottageposting #pottagecore

Day 2 of A Grueling Diet https://dustycloud.org/blog/a-grueling-diet/

Starting out the day with a proper #gruel: half a cup of already-cooked oatmeal from yesterday, thinned out with water, buttermilk powder, oat bran #pottage #pottageposting

@cwebber

I came across pumpkin #gruel in my local Korean supermarket today and thought of you...
