Pompanoosuc Porridge Question

King Arthur sells a wonderful breakfast grain mixture called Pompanoosuc Porridge; it contains 3 ingredients:

Wheat Bulgur
Steel Cut Oats (Irish style oats)
Flaxseed

I intend to make my own mixture buy purchasing these ingredients separately. Two questions arise:

1. Can anyone recommend a good mailorder grain source here in the southeast?

2. To approximate KA's blend, can anyone recommend the proportion of each ingredient?

TIA

Scottish porridge (the original stuff) is just steel cut oatmeal (the Irish stuff is similar). I cook it with a little salt and then when cooked, add a shake of salt and a little top of the milk. No sugar, no honey, no fruit, no NUTTIN!
For traditional porridge, I use Bobs Red Mill Scottish porridge oats 3 parts water to one part oats. Bring water and a pinch of salt to boil, slowly add oats to boiling water stirring all the while. Take off the heat and cover. Ready in 3-4 mins .. Stir occasionally.

As Ishbel said, add a dribble of cold milk and a sprinkle of salt. Anything else kills the wonderful texture and flavour of the oats. Yummm!

Thanks for all the responses and yes, I make my own mixture now ad lib and it tastes just fine.  I really love eating steel cut oats for breakfast with some cinnamon, honey and half-and-half dairy.

Are you willing to share the proportions you use? I'd love to give this a try.
You could ad lib the mixture even though I haven't made the mixture to this date. I truly enjoy the steel cut oats just by themselves. You could eyeball the amount of flax seeds to your oats ad lib.
