Yesterday was mom’s birthday and we celebrated by going to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, just me and my parents (so weird not to have the younger ones around…haven’t had much of that for going on 14 years now….). I had the delicious sausage and ricotta flatbread and a small caesar salad, but made sure I saved room for the delicious confectionary delight shown above: their 30th Anniversary Cheesecake. The slice was a bit smaller than some of their other varieties, but it made up for its size in richness. I could only eat about half of it at lunch and had the other half later that night, after a very meager dinner. I should have saved it for another day, but it’s one of those things where you know you shouldn’t, you know you’ll probably regret it, but sometimes you just can’t resist it
