Quote from Trail Cookbook_"It takes much time to prepare a warm breakfast on these cold, nippy mornings... building to blaze the smoldering embers of last night’s fire. But the effort seems to set the soul in harmony with all of God’s creation. Read more I have watched the children dance merrily to task and my good husband’s somber expression dissolve after a warm bowl of sweetened rice or mush." See less

I have been sick but I'm trying to make a comeback and stop by a few pages. I love the Bio up there! I have had this when I was little. We went camping in the Mountains and my great uncle made this. We all ate it and liked it! It sure did warm us up!
