Oatmeal Gruel

Mix two tablespoonfuls of oatmeal to a paste by adding three tablespoonfuls of water; stir in three breakfast cupfuls of milk or water, pour it into a saucepan over a slow fire, and cook for half an hour. When it is done turn it into a basin, and serve. It may be strained if thought necessary.
