Cheesecake (among other things)

I know, it's been a while. I warned you, but I 'm still very sorry.


So, Andrew and I went to Z and A's for dessert and some hang out time. We had a lot of fun (we hadn't seen each other in quite some time)! Anyhoo, they bought this cheesecake from Double D's, and I didn't know this, but you can actually get a cheesecake where each piece is a different flavour. Totally fantastic when you don't know what your guests like. Also fantastic just for you, 'cause then you don't get tired of one flavour. It was so good. I had the turtle flavour, and then, we tried little bites of each piece. I was very impressed with how good they were. The only beef I have about bought cheesecake is that the oreo flavour is never nearly as good as when it's homemade. I learned my lesson. Only homemade oreo cheesecake for me from now on! Too bad Z was on the side of the cheesecake where the oreo showed up closest to the camera. Yep, picture courtesy of Zig!

I''ve got a sweet tooth (in case you didn't figure this out already). I love chocolate and most desserts. The only thing I don't really like is cake. I love strawberry short cake and lemon chiffon cake. The kind of cake I don't like is the white, chocolate or marble cakes with loads of gross flowery icing on it. To me, that's just yucky. I'll pretty much eat any other kind of dessert. However, I also have my salty cravings too. So I'm both a sweet and salty craver!

I'm a picky eater (yes, Alyssa, I'll admit it). There was an article in the paper today about picky eaters. They went so far as to say that being a picky eater made you Obsessive Compulsive. Can you Believe it?!? I so do not have OCD. It also said that most picky eaters are terrified of being invited to people's houses for dinner. Not me! I'm pretty outspoken and don't really care if I only take two of the five things they put on the table. Heck, I don't expect everyone I have over to like everything I make.

My mom used to make a set meal for every day of the week. I think Sundays were meatloaf day. I hate meatloaf. I remember just eating toast or plain noodles on Sundays. My parents always said it just wasn't worth the fight. I was (okay, I am) stubborn. Refused to eat certain things and threw a fit (no, I don't do that now) if they tried to make me. Now, I just quietly pick the peas out of the pot pie (which is funny, 'cause that was an example used in the article) or pass the bowl of mushrooms to the next person hoping no one noticed I didn't take any. I'm not ashamed, no. And if someone would ask me, don't you want some mushrooms, I'll just tell them flat out that I don't like them. Since I've grown up, I will try things now, but I still have aversions to certain textures and flavours. That won't change. What I do know, is that I will try very hard to make my children try something once. If they say they don't like it after that - How can I force it on them, when I can't enforce it by eating certain things myself?

Okay, enough ranting. I know you were all excited about the new post and now you're totally annoyed at how boring it was. Meh, whatever...
