  • Go team barley!

    Cold porridge is really nice. I want to have something to bring to work for breakfast, and this works excellently. Some people call it "overnight oats", but I don't, since I can't have oats.

    Making it takes minimal effort the evening before, one part flakes, one part milk and one part yoghurt, mixed together, topped with whatever you prefer. I like to add wheat bran and blueberries. It'll work itself out overnight in the fridge and I can just grab it in the morning as I leave.

    Deciding on what grains I'd like to use took a bit of thinking when I first tried this out a few weeks ago. In the supermarket, the grain shelves are overflowing with oats, much to my dismay.

    There is however a smaller, but actually pretty decent variety of other options. There are the gluten free options - buckwheat, millet, maize, rice, what have you. But there are also the gluten grains, wheat, rye and barley. There were porridge flakes available of all of these options, but I gravitated toward barley in the end, because it has a pleasant flavour. Buckwheat and millet don't taste too nice in my opinion, and rice and maize don't taste like much of anything at all. So the classic grains were the way to go for me.

  • Steam Next Fest (June 2025) — Day 1

    Steam Next Fest has started once again. This week, many games are offering demos, and I built myself a tall list of 26 games to try out. Here are my opinions on them.

    I'm playing on a desktop PC running Fedora 42. I have enough faith in Valve's Proton that I don't check for compatibility before trying games.
