Spiced Pear Cheesecake

For the last couple of days it has been so rainy, windy and cold so we haven't been able to do much.  But instead of going for walks we have been baking.  Yesterday I made a delicious Spiced Pear Cheesecake and Upside Down Cheesecake Cupcakes.  They were just too nice!  Here are some photos:

Upside Down Cheesecake Cupcakes

We called these Upside Down Cheesecake Cupcakes because we cooked them with the biscuit on the top.

They were absolutely delicious! We don't have any pictures of the Spiced Pear Cheesecake at the moment.

The Taming of the Tights: A Review by Honey

The Taming of the Tights is a teen book, by Louise Rennison,  about Tallulah Casey and her gang called The Tree Sisters.  All Tallulah’s friends have boyfriends but she doesn’t and the two boys she fancies are Alex and Charlie.

Tallulah has a friend called Ruby and Ruby has a pet dog called Matilda.  Tallulah, Ruby and Matilda go for walks together and like to chat about boys and stuff.

The Bottomley sisters send a threatening letter to Tallulah saying for her to get out of their sight.  There is also Cain who is always trying to ruin everything she does.

I really liked this book because some bits made me laugh out loud and not many books can do that.  But at first I didn’t really get into this story but towards the end it got better and better.  The only disappointing thing was that there was too much flirting and kissing rather than focusing on the main story line which might have made it more interesting.

I would definitely recommend this book to teenage girls who are interested in reading a lighthearted story with lots of gossip.
