Oatmeal Mush

Ingredients

three pints of boiling water
salt

Directions

First wet a coffee-cup of oatmeal in cold water (to prevent the mush being lumpy) ; then stir into this three pints of boiling water ; let this boil half an hour, stirring frequently ; then add salt to taste, and boil another half hour. This is nice for any meal, breakfast, dinner or sup- per, and makes a good simple dessert for dinner by serving with cream and sugar.
