Happy Birthday to Ryan!



Wednesday 4 July 2007

Well, he may not be a real-life nephew of my Uncle Sam, but Ryan was indeed born on the fourth of July. My gift (which wouldn't have to be packed later, adding unwanted weight to suitcases, only to us. But there is no weight limit on people at the airport!) was a cheesecake, one of his favorites. This was my very first attempt at cheesecake ever (I love cooking and can do a pretty good job of that most of the time, but I don't have much natural baking talent) and it wasn't quite perfect. The edges were a little burned and the bottom crust was missing something. But, it was smothered with chocolate and raspberries and still tasted cheese-cakey, so we enjoyed it!
