Britt and Cheesecakes
I was so impressed with myself yesterday when I went to two stores to get the ingredients for an ambitious white chocolate sour cream raspberry cheesecake. I went with my girl and we made it through two stores, Starbucks (for Daddy) and then we went to his work for 10 minutes to run around before we came home. It's good to have a husband who will take 15 minutes out of his day to play with his daughter at his work. Anyway, I was thinking I was so cool and effective when I got home and made the cheesecake crust. Then it hit me...I failed to get the main ingredient: cream cheese.
Since it was about 2 minutes to nap time and I had contractions too strong to leave the house...I did what any desparate woman would do: I started calling babysitters and offering $10 to anyone available to go get the cream cheese. Sadly, no one was available and so I resorted to calling my Mother in Law and begging her for the task. Thankfully she was at Costco and she was headed to Safeway and could do it. So, thankfully I was able to pull off the cheesecake so it could get in the fridge overnight. I always find that if I don't chill a cheesecake for at least 16 hours I am sorry. And it looks so good for today's party for my father in law's bday.
Then we headed off to Britt Festivals to hear Jeffery Kahane play. Britt is a music festival near here that has an outdoor ampitheatre and excellent surroundings. I was sure every cultured person in this valley was there last night. Anyway, we had a lovely picnic with the family (kidddos were at home) and we enjoyed the concert. I was very uncomfortable for about 2/3 of the time as 9 month pregnant ladies are not cut out for sitting on hillsides for hours. But we enjoyed our date!
And lastly, my husband who IS AMAZING fixed both the sink and replaced the garbage disposal on Thursday night.
HOW COOL IS THAT? Goodness.
And here is a picture of my German Chocolate cake from last week and our trip to Crater Lake:
