It was one of the most enjoyable, fun filled birthdays of my adult life and centered around a day of thrifting/antiquing with my mom then family with dinner at an Italian restaurant in Kelowna (that has some GF options so I could eat there), then a lovely drive home with the reflection of this month's super moon glistening on Okanagan Lake. I really couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off my 30s. <br /><br />Big hugs & many thanks for each and every one of your terrific blog comments yesterday,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-41301804379405039472014-07-25T13:28:03.619-07:002014-07-25T13:28:03.619-07:00Making all three of them sounds like the perfect s...Making all three of them sounds like the perfect solution my dear Jessica !<br />Cheesecake happens to be one of my favourite desires (if not THE one) however I have made it only 3 or 4 times.<br />I hope you enjoyed your birthday :)Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-3840803733280186242014-07-23T00:43:08.421-07:002014-07-23T00:43:08.421-07:00It's one of mine on the dessert front, too, es...It's one of mine on the dessert front, too, especially if cherries, chocolate or caramel is involved. Were you able to find GF graham crackers (whole or crumbs) in your area? I'd be happy to send you some from Canada, if you can't, my lovely friend. They work just as good, IMO, as the glutenous version and equally tasty, too. :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-52033223635191917362014-07-22T09:47:29.861-07:002014-07-22T09:47:29.861-07:00oh goodness gracious! cheesecake is my ultimate we...oh goodness gracious! cheesecake is my ultimate weakness and my how i've been craving it as of late. maybe i can talk my sister into making a crust-less cheesecake for me. mmmm!!seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-59667583871639131562014-07-13T16:28:17.283-07:002014-07-13T16:28:17.283-07:00Gosh that would be marvellous!

One never knows though, there is always the chance that one of might be in the other's neck of the woods come a future July. England is one of the countries I most want to visit and explore (it's on my proverbial bucket list), so it could happen - or at the very least, a meetup some other lovely time of the year.

Also, it seemed slimy. And given my pickiness associated with my weird hatred for various textures in my food, I never tried it. Until... lo and behold! When I was older I tried my first cheesecake. And now I confess I'm rather a cheesecake fiend!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848561458168830368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-26152717836152154552014-07-08T22:14:40.922-07:002014-07-08T22:14:40.922-07:00Ooh I'll have to try that recipe - my partner ...Ooh I'll have to try that recipe - my partner goes mad for cheesecake! xxBexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580115634735004315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-21249428985662772322014-07-08T19:20:52.583-07:002014-07-08T19:20:52.583-07:00Ive really never considered cheesecake as a birthd...Ive really never considered cheesecake as a birthday cake!

Hand on my heart, I was just saying to Tony yesterday that I wish there was the birthday equivalent of Boxing Day, as it would be so fun to keep the celebration going for more than 24 hours. Ultimately, as adults we can do just that, if so please and your comment really helped drive home that point for me, sweet dear. Three days for 30 years, a day for each decade, makes a lot of sense to me and sounds like a very enjoyable and fun filled plan - not to mention a delicious one, too! :)<br /><br />Tons of hugs & thanks for your wonderful birthday wishes, my fellow July birthday gal!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28202163189181666282014-07-08T14:52:34.091-07:002014-07-08T14:52:34.091-07:00Oooh, me too - big time!!!

Or maybe (here's the thing in our country): celebrate like some folks do in the southern part of my country. They have a 3-day celebration on a huge event (wedding, birth of a child..). Why not: 3 days for 30th birthday, with 3 cakes, one for each day?<br />Make them small(er) then usual.. and it'll put this event to even a higher level.. :)<br /><br />Oh, how I love July (bot of our birthdays) are in July... <3<br /><br />Hug (and a birthday's best two days in advance!)<br />MarijaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034764185511908294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-61117553141783401112014-07-07T17:07:00.283-07:002014-07-07T17:07:00.283-07:00Thank you very much, sweet dear.
