10 fantastic things to do with Gruel

from National Darfur Television

" the weather today is hot again. Sports news, is no news. Who has time for sports?
However we have a world famous chef from America who is going to show us how to jazz up gruel. 10 fantastic ways to make gruel appealing to your family."


Those of you wanting recipes please check into our website. It occurred to me the other day as I watched a cooking show, how on one planet kids starve while another watches how to cook. We are so spoiled we have time to think about how to cook. How to jazz up the food. Cooking shows must be an insult to those who have no food. Imagine being a kid in Dafur, do you really care how the food was made? OH I love the way you used garlic in that gruel!!!!

I must admit I love cooking shows, however I need to apologize to those who have no food. I have no right to be thinking about how to cook or new ways to roast or barbecue when the kids have no food.

What would happen if all the food wasted on cooking shows was given to the hungry? Should we be using the time to help think about waste?
Hey Martha can you do a show for the Dafur market? How about showing them ways to make the sand enhance the look of their dinner setting? Hey emile Bam!!!! Now thats good Gruel!!!!

One last thought. Imagine those who travel the world for cooking shows. Ming, or others who go to China and Italy and then show the different foods. How come they don't go to Darfur, or Bagladesh, or Burma and come back and show us how to cook grass and dirt?
