Cheesecake for Father

Today is National Cheesecake Day and Father-in-Law Day. Today is going to be a vacation for me as I don’t have a father-in-law, I would very much like to have one, well, the right one anyway. As for cheesecake, I don’t like cheesecake. Well, I probably don’t like cheesecake.  When I was younger, just the idea of eating sweet cheese, turned my stomach, now the idea of how many calories is in cheesecake turns my stomach! Enjoy my piece, if you wish.
