Cooking instruction summary:

Cover dried apricots in hot water and leave to soak while you cook the millet. Rinse millet to prevent and bitter flavor in the grain (we did this by pouring water into the pot then simple using the lid of the pot to drain the water out, trying not to lose any grains). Cover the rinsed millet with water (doesn't matter how much because you'll drain it after it cooks). Bring the millet and water to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Drain excess water (you don't have to get all of the water out but just the majority of it).Heat the milk over medium heat then add milk to the millet. Bring the millet and milk back to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes.Meanwhile chop the soaked apricots.Once millet is done cooking with the milk, cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in apricots and enjoy!

Food Joke

After attending the funeral of a Texas mouse killed by an eighty year old lady with a broom, three mice, one from Minnesota, one from Iowa and one from Wisconsin, are sitting at a bar trying to impress each other with how tough they are. The Minnesota mouse throws down a shot of bourbon, slams the empty glass onto the bar, turns to the Iowa mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese." The Iowa mouse orders up two shots of tequila, drinks them down one after the other, slams both glasses onto the bar, turns to the Minnesota mouse and replies, "Oh yeah? When I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it up to a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day." The Minnesota mouse and the Iowa mouse then turn to the Wisconsin mouse. The Wisconsin mouse finishes the beer he has in front of him, lets out a long sigh and says to the two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I gotta go home and have sex with the cat."
