It all started with my first attempt at making a cheesecake. And this wasn't your standard "No Bake" cheesecake - this was the real deal...I even ventured out to the store to buy the appropriate spring form pan for this kind of dessert! I had a hard time deciding what flavor to make - Turtle Praline, Pumpkin, Raspberry Swirl - although these all sounded delicious, I finally decided on Mocha. Minus the battle wound on my finger and the split that formed in the middle of the cake (see picture below), I would deem this 'first' a success. L and I cut into it this afternoon - verdict? L gave me an A+. And you know what, I do too! Add this to the list of Nic's talents - Cheesecake!

Cutting the first piece
My battle wound, aka burn
The next first - Frisbee Golf! I've always thought it sounded/looked like fun, but had never attempted this sport until this afternoon. After my first throw, where I pegged L in the stomach (sorry L!), I thought I was in for a terribly painful afternoon. But, I persevered, thanks to the cheers of encouragement from L, JW, and LW. Although I'm not ready to join the Pros, I think I improved, and hope to get out there and do it again. It made for a fun Sunday afternoon activity. Thanks for the invite LW, and for rescuing me from my boredom!
very nice job on the cheesecake! i've never made one, nor do i have a springform pan. doubley jealous. it looks great.
ReplyDeleteand your gut shot to L was the highlight of the day. :)
The stomach shot was totally worth the laughter that ensued, taught me not to stand in front of someone teeing off right?! As for the cheesecake, FAB! Can't wait for more flavors to come.
