Maya’s all bug-eyed …

Maeann’s son, John, rode an old bike over to our house yesterday, and Maeann drove his girlfriend, Akika, to pick up my green 7-speed beach cruiser. They’re going to hang onto it while they’re in SD so they can go on some bike rides. Here’s Akika trying out the height of the seat.

Maeann and I agreed that it doesn’t matter how old our kids are, we’re still going to tell them to be careful!!! I didn’t take an actual count, but I’m sure Maeann told them that at least 5 times before they rode off into the sunset.

Later, I met Jen and Maya at the park on Saratoga & Ebers. I could have watched her for hours …

When we were at the Olive Tree Market down the street two weeks ago, Chris, the owner, was talking about making cheesecake. I told him I make a killer cheesecake. He told us to wait and he ran to the back of the store, coming back with a huge block of cream cheese (3 lbs!) and handed it to me. I guess that was his way of saying “Here’s the cream cheese. Now go make me a cheesecake.” So I did. Yesterday …

Chere’s special recipe crust. Check!

Chere’s special cheesecake filling. Check! The dogs got dibs on licking the beaters.

Final product. Check!

It turned out perfect. At least it looks perfect. Let’s hope I lived up to my words with taste.

We just returned from handing Chris one of the cheesecakes (with my business card … who knows, maybe I’ll get a yoga student out of the deal).

Now I have to figure out what to do with the other cheesecake. Hmmm. A whole cheesecake in my fridge. It’s too much for me to eat alone. Here’s a special deal only for those who read my blog today. I should be home most of the day. Stop by and have a piece, or bring a plate to take a piece home with you. Please call or text first. I plan on practicing this morning and won’t have my phone in the studio with me, so if I don’t answer, I’ll call you back when I’m done.

I even serve the physically disabled … 🙂 If you happen to be handicapped, I will either bring a piece to your house, or if you drive here, I’ll run a piece down to your car.

Oh… while supplies last, of course.

Cheesecake baked with LOVE by Chere!
