Old Recipes: Ginger Cookies and Porridge

 Yesterday I tried out a recipe for Grasmere Gingerbread. It's different from most recipes because it had chopped almonds in it. I was supposed to put some chopped almonds on top of the cookies before I baked them but forgot...I used them all for inside the cookies. The cookies were supposed to have chopped almonds in the cookie and on top as well. The recipe also called for ginger, not a mix of spices. 

I also tried a barley porridge. I've made lots of porridges before. In China we ate porridge a lot and love it. We'd make oatmeal porridge (with the whole oats, not crushed or chopped), millet porridge, and a mix of different grains porridge. In China, there are shops that sells grains, rice, flour, oil, and spices. They have a huge variety of grains, beans, and mixes for Chinese porridge because it's a very common breakfast there.
