Chocolate Orange porridge
Today I knew I would need a bit of cheer. It’s a-level
results day and I was pretty much convinced I’d failed chemistry at the very
least, which considering I’m apply for it an university was a bit worrying. I
decided to go for a ‘ Terry's chocolate orange’ inspired breakfast, quite simply
chocolate orange! I always get one for Christmas, but didn't this year, so have
been hankering after one since. This is pretty lovely-not as sickly and
chocolaty as a real chocolate orange, but sweet, juicy and just a little
chocolaty! If you want it to be really chocolaty add 2 tsp. of cocoa powder and
maybe melt a little milk chocolate on top. Of course the perfect a compliment
would be a real segment of Terry’s…Oh we can dream!
This lovely bowl kept me through until I
got my results I ended up getting Chemistry-A, Biology-A, General studies-A and
Psychology-B. Unfortunately now I've got my results and found out got an A I almost feel worse. If I failed the
pressure would be off and the decision out of my hands. I don’t want to do
chemistry, and hate my lessons but I also don’t know what else to do. My back
up plan is now out the window as psychology didn't go too well.
Enough of my moaning- here’s the recipe!
- 1 Orange
- ½ cup oats
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- ½ cup milk
- Milk/dark chocolate* (optional)
Method
- Peel the orange and cut up the segments into chunks
- Mix the oats, orange and cocoa powder in a bowl.
- Add the milk and stir well to mix all the chocolate in
- Microwave for 2-3 mins*
*(if adding real chocolate, take out 30
secs before the end and add, before finishing off to avoid burning)
<--Mmm...Just look at the lovely chocolaty mix (although I must say sorry about the terrible photographs, I only had my small digital camera, complete with flash).
