Cheesecake is done, roasted broccoli with paprika-sherry vinaigrette and marconas is done, burrata dish coming along

I'm not sure I'm going to do much, if anything, with the salmon tonight as we've got a batard, the burrata dish and this fabulous roasted broccoli. The cheesecake is for a gals coffee tomorrow + a tasting slice for you, JL. Yuuummm.....

Caramelized shallots, pumpkin cheesecake

The cheesecake is in the oven and looks divine! I added a splash of Bourbon to the mix because why not?! I also just caramelized some shallots for that ridiculous burrata dish we're having later. They look superb.

I also had three sips of wine and feel good about doing so. Heh.

Who wants two children?

I just sent them to their rooms for the third time since we arrived home 54 minutes ago. Mary mother of god. Is it too early for a glass of wine? Why don't I get to go to NYC for a day or days like T? I think I need to start doing "research" there on a monthly basis.
