a haphazard post

I blogged about these in color over at my photo blog "through my lens".

A very delicious dessert I made and brought out last Sunday when we went visiting.  The very last piece from the pan.  I'll share the recipe.

Raspberry Cheesecake

Crust:

1/2 c. butter, melted

4 T. sugar

2 c. graham cracker crumbs

Filling:

1c. powdered sugar

2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese

1 (16 oz.) container of Cool Whip

2 tsp. vanilla

Topping:

3 T. red jello

3 T. cornstarch

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. water

4 c. raspberries

Combine crust ingredients together and pat into 9x10 pan.  Beat filling ingredients until fluffy.  Spread over crust.  Cook topping ingredients until thickened: spread over filling.  Refrigerate.

Enjoy!

 

Knitting in the car.  I love to knit in the car, I get so much done that way.

There are 9 days until we are out of here.  Florida here we come.  I hope I can take my knitting on the plane, otherwise I'll have to pack it in my check on bag.  I plan to knit, read, take walks on the long beach, hunt for shells and just chill.

Not too much else happening around the homestead here.

You all have a wonderful day!

Love the picture of the yarn in your lap. A wee bit jealous of your trip to warm sunshine...but so happy for you!

I love that truck...got to go back to your other blog and see...i was just there but clicked to come here without thinking and 90% of the time I scroll down to see if I have missed anything.

Thanks for the recipe...I think one of these days I will try it.

That cheesecake looks delicious -- thanks for the recipe! I knit on the airplane all the time -- or at least I did -- haven't flown in 4 or 5 months, but you should have no problem. I hope the next week passes quickly for you!

I'm thinking ahead to my trip---I need to call the airline about bringing knitting! That cheesecake looks super yummy!

I wonder how much my husband will whine if I make him go to the store to get the ingredients for that....maybe I should just show him the picture and avoid the whining all together. Yum! Thanks for sharing!

Love the contrast of the black and whites with the colored raspberry cheesecake. Never thought of doing the American flag in monochrome - one's eyes seem to add the color.

I agree with some of the above posters... it sounds delicious. I'll have to give it a shot and post again once I've tried it.
