Sad to hear of the passing of Patrick Moore today .
I used to love The Sky at Night even though I didn't understand a word of it.
He was The Don .

Twinkies Vs. Dreamies
I'm sure all my US blog fans know of the recent demise of a much loved cake baker , Hostess , and their jewel in the crown product Twinkies.
I'm sure Twinkie The Kid will ride again but in the meantime Mrs. Freshley ( not her real name I'd wager ) has stepped up to the plate and cooked us up some Dreamies.
Firstly the box design isn't quite as good ( no character ) but the white dollop of poo in the 'i' saves it from oblivion , I can forgive the lower case 'd' but they are about 10 years late to that party.
Moving onto the cake itself , not a bad effort Mrs. Freshley !
The sponge was nice and firm but still moist & fluffy, it was slightly more robust than a Twinkie .At a glance you couldn't tell them apart.
The 'creme' filling was a little too thick and granular for my taste , it lacked the airiness that Hostess delivered .
I can live with Dreamies until Someone buys the Twinkie brand and tells Mrs Freshley to cease baking but we need a character Mrs. - any suggestions ?
Dreamy The Dog Poo ?
