"Friendship" Porridge with Millet and Rice

A really tasty porridge of millet and rice with raisins! There's an old two-man crosscut saw called the "Friendship." The idea is that sawing together strengthens a friendship. Whether that's actually true, I can't say. But in this same-named porridge, two grains — rice and millet — likewise try to get along. And they seem to manage it pretty well, maybe even better than the saw does. Still, food is food precisely because it brings people together at one table. Try serving this porridge to your kid and their friends, and I swear there won't be a single squabble or scuffle for the next half hour, because everyone will be too busy eating.

Cover the raisins with hot water and let them sit for 15 minutes. Add one cup each of millet and rice to a pot. Rinse them really well, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Then drain. Cover with fresh water again, bring back to a boil, and drain again. Now you're ready to cook in earnest. Add the milk, salt, and sugar to the parboiled grains and cook almost all the way through. The handy thing is that rice and millet take just about the same time to cook. While the porridge is still a little underdone and the liquid hasn't fully cooked off, stir in the raisins and finish cooking. Then take it off the heat and wrap the pot in a wool shawl so it can rest and steam through. Serve with a pat of butter dropped into each portion. You can top the porridge with fresh fruit if you like.
