For the lemon crema:

DIRECTIONS
- Combine the oats, water and salt together in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
- Wash and pick through the blueberries, discarding any that appear bruised or damaged. Make sure that you dry the blueberries thoroughly. Set them aside.
- Peel the banana and cut into 4 equal parts and slice each part into 5 slices. Set them aside.
- To make the lemon crema, combine the lemon zest
and double cream in a small bowl, and whisk until slightly thickened. - To assemble, take 4 medium bowls and add the warm oatmeal to each. Scatter the blueberries and bananas over the top of the oatmeal. Place a generous dollop of the lemon crema on top of each and serve.
Other Notes:
Everything, except the preparation of the oatmeal, can be done in advance and assembled as soon as the oatmeal has been cooked.

Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
