**Groats are the hulled kernels of various cereal grains such as oat, wheat, and rye. Groats are whole grains that include the cereal germ and fiber-rich bran portion of the grain as well as the endosperm.
*** Old traditions dictate that no animal products be consumed on Christmas Eve,
hence the poppy milk. Milk may possibly be substituted, although instructions
on making poppy milk can be found here.
Tomorrow

Hello There, I enjoyed your post today, and all of the others. I am learning so much. Never heard of groats. Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I do try to read blogs—but just haven’t commented very much lately like I usually try to do. Please don’t give up on me. Hopefully my life will be back to ‘normal’— whatever that is (ha), sometime in January.
ReplyDeleteI did get a cortisone shot in my knee —which has helped with the pain somewhat. In January, I will most likely have meniscus tear surgery…. BUT—in the meantime, I plan to have a fantastic Christmas —and hopefully get to see my kids/grands… God is Good.
Hugs,
Betsy
