Baking

i've been in the mood to bake lately. i'm much better at baking than i am at cooking, but i noticed that i tend to bake when the seasons turn like they are now and also to relief stress. so, my first creation this season was a cheesecake. i will admit that it was not the made-from-scratch cheesecake that i wanted to make. it was a box cheesecake that Tom somehow convinced me to make instead for the sake of saving time (we were running a little behind on our errands). anyway, i'm planning on making the "real" cheesecake soon, probably during my week off this month.
