As an adult, I wish I had the patience to make ice cream at home, but I [...]

I’m a cheesecake nut, and one of the things I made a point of doing during a cross-country trip a couple of years ago was tasting the cheesecake in both Philadelphia and New York, in the hopes of finding the best I’ve ever had.

Fall is my favorite time of year for many reasons (my wedding anniversary is in October, I love Halloween–scary movies in particular, we adopted our dog in October, the trees are pretty, the air is crisp and clean, etc.).
