::: spoiFaceler Title Face has stopped weeping as of Friday night/Saturday morning and I have been able to put my preference of topical cream on it. It's looking so much better. I'm hugely relieved! :::
In other news it is Elder Minipeelers birthday soon enough to begin discussing cake, and a San Sebastian/Basque cheesecake has been mentioned with hope in their voices. So I guess I'm making a San Sebastian/Basque cheesecake, which I've never done before ๐ณ. It looks reasonably straightforward but one of the local cafes does an utterly superb one that I will of course be comparing mine to. The cost of just going there and buying a whole cheesecake off them will be out of the question given how much they charge for a slice.
Comparison is the thief of joy - yours will be cooked with all of the love and hope you have! Though having a quick scan of the recipetineats go at it, I have absolute faith in you!
Thankyou ๐ That's the one I decided to do because they made it so many times and it was described in the simplest way lol. There were a few others I looked at and they just didn't hit me as doable like that one did. I've also decided that it will be enjoyable because cheesecake, and we will enjoy it even if it doesn't quite turn out the same (because cheesecake ๐but also because Elder and Miniest both really appreciate effort made for them, I'm lucky in that they see and appreciate the effort I make ๐ฅน).
That's so sweet, I'm so glad to hear they recognise what you put into their lives - you are one hellvua amazing person!
hugs, so happy you are feeling better , it was very worrying
And I bet the B'day cake will be delicious . ๐
I'm really glad to hear that you're feeling better :)
Whatever you make, they'll love it im sure โค๏ธ
