Fun with Cheesecake

The folks from Eli’s Cheesecake Company sent me, not one, but two cheesecakes to sample. Holy yum, but that’s a lot of cheesecake! It’s a good thing that we invited friends over tonight to share them with Mal and me!

To keep the cheesecakes cold, they were each shipped with a package of dry ice inside the box. For a guy like my husband, dry ice = instant entertainment.

The mad scientist immediately whipped out a mixing bowl, filled it with water, and dropped in a couple pieces of dry ice. I felt like I was back in high school Chemistry class!

Look at Mal’s face! He’s like a kid on Christmas!

Oooooohhh…

Ahhhhhhh…

Of course, Murphy was very interested in what Dad was doing in the kitchen.

Watch out, Murph!

Watch out, Mal!

And, this is why I love my husband so much. He’s such a kid at heart. It’s hard not to laugh when he’s around.

Oh, yea, in addition to dry ice, the folks at Eli’s sent me two Candy Bar Cheesecakes made with Health Bar. Sounds heavenly! I can’t wait to try them!

After playing with dry ice, dinner seems so boring now!

I saved room for cheesecake by eating a smallish dinner tonight. I had a tuna sandwich on toasted whole wheat Sandwich Thins.

And some pistachios on the side.

Dinner wasn’t the healthiest meal ever, but cheesecake is a priority tonight!

Our friends, Dave and Marie, should be here any minute. I’m excited for our Cheesecake Par-tay!
