In loving memory of Alixa's Cheesecake, 1/27/08-1/27/08
Sunday was marked by tragedy this week, and not because of the passing of President Hinckley. That was actually a happy event. As hard as I tried, I could not feel bad about the death of a 97 year old widower who had arguably accomplished more during his lifetime than any other human being in history. I am sure he is thrilled to get to hang out with Marjorie again.
The real disaster happened Sunday night at an Elders Quorum dessert night. Lixi spent several hours Sunday afternoon making a gourmet, from-scratch chocolate cheesecake complete with chocolate shavings on top. We went over to the house where the activity was being held and took the treat into the kitchen. Jarom was super excited to try it, so he immediately took a piece and sat down in the family room with Alixa to chat with some friends. Moments later, there was a loud crash from the kitchen. A friend looked over at Lixi and told us that it was her cheesecake. The pan shattered and the cake was all over the floor. It took all of Lixi's self control to keep from crying a little bit. Jarom was just happy that he grabbed a piece before the accident, because it was AMAZING. Hopefully Alixa will recover from the trauma and make that dessert again sometime in the future.
In grad school news, Jarom has a phone interview with WVU in February. I probably won't write again before Saturday, so a reminder that Lixi is turning 23. She's so old!!

Lixi, great to hear you have your mother's talent for cooking. Making your hubby happy with a great cheesecake should make up for the loss of the pan in the shattering incident. We love you guy! The blog is super fun. Put some more pictures out there!
Love you.
Yes, very sad post indeed. If we weren't going for your birthday Lix, I'd say you should just make a cheesecake yourself instead of going to the Cheesecake Factory. I'm not complaining though!...
