+1 from myself to all.

One of the neatest Christmas presents I got one year from one of my wife's church friends was a cake, and made with her own ground flour:
With Happy Birthday Jesus written on the top.

How more appropriate and honest can you get!!

@Patrick - the Frank Sinatra song "New York, New York" .... so good they named it twice, or words to that effect.

Oh gawd!! I hate that song and the singer. No wonder I missed it!! ;D

Now if it had been something to do with Yorkshire Pudding or similar, then my ears, tastebuds and other more interested senses would have perked up.


EDIT: Or just use the 'net...
"New York, New York" .... so good they named it twice
Good ol' wiki:
