Hi. I'm a painter, a writer and a mother of three teenage sons, one with a severe disability. This is a journal: riotously disorganized, full of art, food, children and everyday domestic events. Unless you are a friend or family member you may not be interested, but you are welcome to look. Artists who are parents may find some common ground here, as well as parents of children with special needs. For art only, see my site: nancybeamiller.blogspot.com

OH THE JOY!
of making cheesecake. It was the twins' fourteenth birthday yesterday and P asked for this as their birthday cake. I used the Sour Cream Cheesecake recipe from the Joy of Cooking, and then I glazed over the sour cream glaze with a fresh strawberry glaze (recipe also loosely adapted from The Joy.) It's almost impossible to mess up a cheesecake, but sometimes they come out better than at other times. This one, I have to say, was superb.
A close up of the four layers: graham crust, cream cheese cake, sour cream glaze and fresh strawberry over-glaze.
