Christmas Dinner Prep

Christmas Eve dinner will be happening tomorrow at my parents' house.  We will be having Thanksgiving food again because one cousin couldn't make it on Thanksgiving because she was in Taiwan.  Another cousin is here visiting and wasn't here for Thanksgiving, but will be going back to Taiwan on Christmas Eve.  Meh, no biggie, we'll make it work.  I'm in charge of green bean casserole (will make tomorrow) and pumpkin cheesecake (made today).

I was on the couch reading and waiting for the cheesecake to cool.  I noticed that RJ went into the kitchen, but didn't really think much of it.  Then I realized that he had been in there for quite some time...more than usual and definitely enough time to get into mischief.

And I was right.  He was hunched over the pumpkin cheesecake and licking it!  UGH!  I mean, I would still eat it, but since this is going with me to my parents' house for dinner tomorrow, what am I going to do?  I don't want to have this whole cake go to waste!  I stood there for about 5 minutes debating on my next move.  I finally decided to scrape off the part that I thought he licked.  And I ate that.  I know...kinda gross, but it gave me an excuse to try the cake before everyone else.

I'll give a disclaimer tomorrow before it's served.  I also made a plate of brownies if people are too grossed out by cat-licked cake.

JERK.
