A new day to try new things.
I attempted to make a cheesecake from scratch but I feel like it might have went better if I had a spring form pan like the recipe had asked for instead of the pie dish I used instead.
It turned out alright. Very sweet. It's white chocolate strawberry cheesecake. I'm curious how it will be now that it has been in the fridge for a day instead of a few hours afterwards. Hopefully less gooey...
We also marinated some pork chops and grilled them for the first time. We have become aware that the grill cooks extremely hot. Anytime we have followed the directions from a recipe they have been way off compared to how hot our grill actually cooks. I think the thermometer I got worked on the meat though. Despite getting a little charred on the edges they weren't too bad. Wish I would've had some sort of sauce to go with them. Next time maybe!
Another new thing we tried was playing a game called Launch Pad. I found it on clearance at Barnes and Noble earlier today and we decided to play it. Although part way through we decided we were playing it partly wrong and will know for next time. It wasn't really in the directions for the rules but it's ok. Now we know.
Trying new things and messing up the first time is kind of the way it goes. If you did it perfect the first time then it would seem like easy street, and where is the challenge in that or the need to improve.
