thanksgiving desserts

i prepared some sweet treats (blueberry cheesecake and jello) for thanksgiving since i'll be going with my co-worker to visit his folks. i felt that i had to bring something. i was kind of hesitant to make them though, because i wasnt sure how it's going to taste like and also i didnt want to run the risk of giving them stomach ache. but i couldnt think of anything else to bring that will put a personal touch to it.


cheesecake -- without the blueberries yet...

whoala! the blueberry cheesecake!
(i brought this to the thanksgiving gathering and i'm happy his folks loved it! at first i thought they were just being polite, but when his dad helped himself with a second slice, i knew they genuinely liked it. i had a slice too to make sure i know how it tasted like AND just in case they end up with a bad tummy and i don't ... it cant be fully blamed on the cheesecake. Hehe!)

btw, the cold weather was helpful that night because i didnt have to wait HOURS before i can pour the next layer of jello. it hardened in as quick as 15 minutes.

it's cool coz i found these containers that worked well with the shape, showing-off the colors, layers. plus although it's small, it's just the right amount to give out. you see, I was able to make 3 full sets. i gave one to teresa and her family. the other 1, i gave to my co-worker. the last 1, well.. who else... for me :) hahaha!!!
