There's no way that i can catch up with about 4 weeks posts, so I'll start from now. I hope everyone has had a good Christmas and New Year. I've had a fantastic time and the best is that my older 2 are talking to each other and my youngest is talking to me.

Last year was a bit of a no year grow wise but this year is a new start.

I will do a bit of catching up before I post again.

Happy New Year everybody.

VC you were right, that last one didn't show me, so decided to take a selfie and show off my sunny disposition

Afternoon I seemed to have been busy but not much to show for it, I did make a birthday card though.

Nip outside and have a look at the Wolf Moon (full moon tonight). Its huge and the blackbirds/thrushes are singing their little beaks off.

VC I noticed the moon when I took the milk bottles out, you're right it is huge.

Ingredients
Crust
300 ml (150 g) almond flour
50 g butter
2 tbsp (25 g) erythritol
½ tsp vanilla extract
Filling
600 g cream cheese
125 ml heavy whipping cream or crème fraîche
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp (10 g) erythritol (optional)
1 tsp lemon, zest
½ tsp vanilla extract
50 g fresh blueberries (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-inch (22 cm) springform and line the base with parchment paper.

Melt the butter for the crust and heat until it gets a nutty scent. This will give the crust a lovely toffee flavor.

Remove from heat and add almond flour, sweetener and vanilla. Combine into a dough and press into the base of the springform pan.

Bake for 8 minutes, until the crust turns lightly golden. Set aside and allow to cool while you prepare the filling.

Mix together cream cheese, heavy cream, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla and sweetener, if you’re using any. Combine well.

Pour the mixture over the crust.

Raise the heat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15 minutes.

Lower the heat to 230°F (110°C) and bake for another 45-60 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let cool in the oven. Remove when it has cooled completely and place it in the fridge to rest overnight.

Thanks for that yum!
Had to check what erythritol is though!

[Nicos]

Janie!... just noticed you'd popped in!
Glad to hear things are settling down for you x

Morning all. All this talk of cheesecake has got my tummy rumbling...

Blue skies today. But perishing cold. Always nice to see the sun though.

Mr Snoop off out today with a long shopping list. I'm holding the fort and trying to get ahead with some work. If I really make some progress, I shall get out in the garden for an hour or so.

Good to see you back, Janie. Nice selfie there, Rary.

Have a good day, everyone.

Good Morning All Golden Girl stayed last night so breakfast on the go here. Fine and dry so far. Have a good day
