I've always had the impression that oatmeal is porridge -- I've never seen them standing together, for example.

Boil water for tea and quick oatmeal. Tear up a crystallized ginger piece, toss in bowl. Toss in dried blueberries or dried cherries. Put in quick oats.

Pour water in teapot, followed by pouring in bowl. Pull tea bags out after three minutes. Stir oatmeal around, eat about another three to five minutes later.
