Friday was our younger daughter’s birthday. I won’t say how old she is, because it’s a complete shock to me that I could possibly have a “child” older than 20. \ud83d\ude09 You can imagine what *30* did to me! <\/div>\n

Anyway, her favorite birthday dessert is a specific cheesecake she’s been requesting for many years. Unfortunately, I just didn’t think that particular recipe would serve enough people, so this year I made another one, which a very good friend had shared with me. I did modify it a trifle by adding some flavoring to it, but \u2014 oh boy!<\/i> \u2014 was this ever a winner! It’s an Oreo cheesecake with almond flavoring, and the last piece was enjoyed by my husband this evening. Of course, half of what was left the evening of our daughter’s birthday went home with her, so it’s not as though we’ve been eating cheesecake nonstop since Friday. LOL!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
