'Porridge' usually has negative vibes for me, something about illness or witches or poverty or some dreadful Dickens scene.

I'm sorry about that!
To me it means warm, soothing and comfort. Especially if milky and sugared.

Porridge is good, gruel is bad.

Whoa! That's even worse. What a word...

Grueling: adj. Like yet another tiresome, debilitating meal of thin liquid food i.e. oatmeal or other yucky, tasteless junk boiled in milk or water.

Tintinnabulation is a word I like. Mellifluous is another.

I didn't know tintinnabulation was a word!

I only knew the term from the columns in our Yankee magazines. Something to do with that good old 'down east' lifestyle, I reckon.

Now I'm learning Edgar Allan Poe "celebrated the sonic overtones of tintinnabulation in his poem "The Bells"'.
