Panettone v Porridge (No contest really)

Got a fantastic Panettone from TK Maxx (where else?) in a beautiful holly decked box. The Panettone itself is full of whole almonds, big bits of candied peel and has a toasted sugar top. I can never understand articles on what to do with leftover Panettone. Why would there be any? Just toast it and eat it...

Anyway, really wanted a big, fat toasted wedge with a cup of tea this morning, but felt v guilty especially after the goose and pastry yesterday. So, decided to go for a run (wore new running/yoga/ballet workout DVD gear - not done any yoga or ballet workout yet but I'm sure I will). Was out for 6.5 minutes, and felt very virtuous when I got back, so decided that I actually fancied porridge. Yes porridge. Had some organic oats made with water and a splash of milk, then gussied it up with a teaspoon of orange flower honey and a fistful of blueberries, chucked into the pan for the last 30 seconds.

Much, much nicer than it sounds - and it means that I can have a glass of wine at lunchtime. The bar that we are going to is quite nice, in a self-consciously, mid 30s way but does mostly Mexican influenced food, and there is probably less calories in a multi pack of Jammie Dodgers than one of their salads. Oh well, I suppose a ten minute walk in heels will work some of it off.
