I suppose at this point I should explain why I am alone in Antigonowhere. It’s not a long story. They’re going down to New Jersey to help Dad’s new colleague move to Nova Scotia, and in the meantime they’re going to New York. They went to the UN a few days ago. They didn’t take me.
So while they’re gone, I’m on my own for meals. After having just about as many peanut butter sandwiches and enough-salt-to-kill-an-octopus TV dinners, I decided that I would cook all of my meals while my parents are away.
However, it takes me forever to chop things and I never plan things out correctly. I make almost every single possible mistake when cooking. I’ve burnt spaghetti sauce.
I did all my cooking on the weekend for the week ahead. I made curry and tortillas. It was fun. Too much fun. I had the sudden urge to make deserts, too. So I went to the Sobeys and got the ingredients to make cheesecake. And here’s how it turned out:

Not perfect, but pretty good for me. With the leftover ingredients I made lemon bread, and I still have some fancy Italian cheese remaining, that I have no idea what to do with.
In the end, three things can be learned from this venture:
1. I have too much desert than can be eaten.
2. There is no real point in spending 15$ for ingredients when I could buy a 6$ cheesecake already made.
3. I didn’t mess up on any of my projects. yay!
