Bubba is all smiles because we got him a spurtle yesterday at the Whole Earth Festival. You say, what is the heck is a spurtle? It is the stirrer of choice for porridge. Invented by the Scots who are apparently the inventors of the spatula also. Since oatmeal seems to be a popular breakfast for cyclists thought all you should know how to fix it properly.

He is now armed with his spurtle and his "snot-flage" rag, a kharmic tie-died bandana. He is ever the trendsetter.

Oatmeal and other hot cereals are favorites of mine - great fuel for cycling. But I have to admit that I had never heard of a spurtle before! So SadieKate, thanks for the new word and the new cooking implement!
I looked on the Golden Spurtle link that you provided and was disappointed not to see a picture of a spurtle, other than the one embedded in the logo, that is. So I went Googling... if anyone else wants to see a picture, you can see one at the Seafoam Woodturning Studio web site.

Thanks, Denise! Bubba's spurtle is made from myrtle, so he has a myrtle spurtle (there has to be a Dr. Suess rhyme in there).

Way to go, Corsair . . .
You fired him up.
The Myrtle Spurtle Hurdle
He carved his first spurtle from myrtle,
And a finer spurtle you'll never see.
But carving at the pace of a turtle
Means myrtle spurtles will ne'er profitable be.
