Special Porridge

Tonight I decided to so something different. I had come into the possession of a special recipe for a very, very delicious porridge made by my brother in law. So I decided to try it out...

I've always been a fan of porridge. And no, it's not for sick people. Although it is easier to swallow and digest... it's easier for people who have weaker stomachs.

The pic shows the part where I'm still cooking the soup. The final product will go through another two stages of cooking for which I'll post the pic soon.

The ingridient list is actually quite expensive: skinless chicken thighs, cured ham, garlic, dried Japanese scallops ($45 per 16 oz), mushrooms, and chicken extract. Almost the same ingridient for making XO sauce. It only takes about 30 minutes for the soup... and it's the best tasting soup I've had... all this without adding salt.

Stay tuned for the final picture...
While I'm waiting, this is called "Dirty Volcano." This drink was mentioned in the show "Desperate Housewives." Made with Light rum, dark rum, Skyy Vodka, Sweet and sour mix, cranberry juice, and a splash of Amaretto. Yummy!
