OATMEAL GRUEL, NO. I. When much oatmeal gruel is to be required, it will prove an economy of time to cook the oatmeal into mush, as previously described in this book, making sure that it is very thoroughly done. Place it in a bowl, and cover tightly. When gruel is needed, place some of the mush in a frying-pan, add milk sufficient to thin it to the de- sired consistency, and boil slowly for five minutes, stirring all the time. Add salt
