Battenburg Cake

Battenburg is a cake with a pattern, can anything be better? It is generally just 4 sections, the one above seems very fancy. I would have taken a picture of the one I had, but I just ate it.
It's plain sponge with marzipan wrapped around and very nice indeed.

If you like you can make your own with Simon Rimmer's recipe on the BBC website and even a "How to" video by Lesley, who also likes a Battenburg

Porridge Oats

Porridge oats: I don't really see porridge as a reason to be cheerful (except the BBC sitcom, but that may appear later, who knows?). I do like the Scott's guy though, with his kilt and red socks and ball throwing. I am slightly concerned about his left arm movement, but I'm prepared to let that go. Porridge is more fashionable of late. I was talking to someone who was using porridge as part of a diet, they didn't like it much though and were adding spoons of sugar to it, thus making the diet pointless, they may as well be eating cake. Now if cake rhymed with 'nanny goats' I could have a nice picture of a piece of battenburg here.
