spring = clouds

It was warm a few days ago, but now it’s cloudy and gray again just in time for the weekend. Clouds aren’t a deterrent to me, they just make me hope that it’ll make other people stay home so I can do fun things. I went to the Farmer’s Market and got some tamales with Maya and then we spent some time at the dog park. On the way to the park, Maya stuck her head out the window and I noticed a little girl who was watching her and then followed Maya’s lead and stuck her own head out the window. I found it amusing.

Last night I baked up this cheesecake, using Tyler Florence’s Ultimate Cheesecake recipe. It was way better than my last attempt. This cheesecake was super creamy and had no cracks, yay! My only adjustments were I used low-fat cream cheese, low-fat sour cream, and a combination of lime and lemon zest.

Today I made up a quick spring card for a swap for my rubber stamp group. I just bought the bunny stamp while I was in Kansas and I used some of my new Heidi Swapp Theme Tape which I wasn’t sure would be useful but now I’m glad I got it even though when I first started the roll, it wasted a bunch of tape just getting to the part that was sticky on the back.

Tomorrow I’m going to the Fallbrook Avocado Festival with Julia. Fallbrook is kind of far and gas is expensive but I don’t care. I loves me some avocado!
