I really like cheese cake but it’s a heavy dessert.One is too much for just the two of us, so I only make it when we are having company. I have had a problem with the top of the cheese cake cracking. Putting a pan of water in the oven during the baking helps and of course when you put a topping on the cheese cake it covers up the crack, so no one is the wiser!
So many of my flowers are blooming now. I love to sit out in my lawn chair admiring my flowers and watching the birds at the feeders. Life doesn’t get much better than this!
