Extra protein in Bev's porridge

Ok, the title refers to the unexpected and unwelcome visitor Bev spotted in her porridge this morning. To set the scene, the office is currently suffering from an infestation of wee beasties, and the office is where Bev made her bowl of porridge - she poured the porridge oats into her bowl (she has her breakfast at work as she gets up at dark o'clock), added milk, nuked it in the microwave and then took it back to her desk. As she stirred the porridge before tasting it, she noticed a big black fly floating to the surface! Now we bears would have considered that to be a very tasty little titbit, though probably a very crunchy titbit after being nuked in the microwave, but Bev disagreed with us. She looked horrified! She binned the contaminated porridge, thoroughly washed the bowl and spoon, and then checked the rest of the box for other unwelcome visitors. She did make herself another bowl of porridge, but she said she didn't enjoy it very much.

So what's on the menu for breakfast tomorrow morning, Bev? Porridge? I think it will be toast - she says she has gone off porridge for the moment. Oh well, that's all the more for us bears, and we don't mind any extra crunchy bits in our food!
