A photo of a lake with a small bridge across a river in the distance, green grass everywhere, and blue skies. Trees line the lake at the left, and beyond is a shallow sloping grass-covered hill.

We actually got out of the house today (!!!) and went to Fagan Park. You couldn't have asked for better weather for it, and there was practically nobody there either. We took the full DSLR along too, I just need to process the photos before posting them.

A photo of the ingredients required for cheesecake, all sitting out on a bench.

And now it's time to make cheesecake for Kristina's birthday tomorrow. 🎂

A photo of a tall square baking pan with quite brown-topped cheesecake in it. The edges are higher than the middle, and it looks slightly collapsed. Smells amazing though.

Well, my cheesecake isn't going to win any aesthetic awards, that's for sure. We don't have a springform pan and it cooked itself at the corners up and slightly out of the pan, and has subsequently collapsed back in on itself a bit. It's got cinnamon and nutmeg in it, and chocolate chips which I suspect have all fallen right to the bottom.

A photo of a very collapsed piece of ricotta cheesecake sitting on a small plate.

Not unexpectedly, the cheesecake didn't come out of the pan in any sort of nice-looking form, but hot DAMN was it delicious. So damn rich, I couldn't actually finish the whole piece.

A photo of a small slice of cheesecake sitting on a plate, alongside a small glass cup with espresso in it.

This is some proper afternoon tea right here. That amount of cheesecake is also the exact amount to be able to eat without subsequent regrets.
