Blueberry Cheesecake

Not the world's best picture, but here's a no-bake blueberry cheesecake that I made this weekend:

It's no-bake and quite light! I recommend it as a nice summer dessert (especially when blueberries are on sale at the grocery store). We enjoyed the cheesecake while catching up with Sarah and John, who are housesitting for friends. Their house came equipped with this special webby friend:

I never knew that frogs with such sticky toes live in Michigan! It looked more like an Amazonian frog from the nature specials than the typical pond frog. But an even more special friend is TUCK the awesome dog:

But the real reason I am posting about blueberry cheesecake is so that I can tell the following anecdote: my parents went on a cruise to Alaska to celebrate their anniversary in 1996; it was the first time they had judged my two brothers and me old enough to be left on our own for a week. Of course, while they were gone (and out of phone contact, not to mention email, which hardly seems to have been invented at that point), I broke out with a horrible case of hives! I have a very strong histamic response to the world, and I was miserable. Fortunately, my uncle, who is a physician and lives up the road from my parents, was able to come by and check me out. My brothers and I were generally eating the same foods, but for one exception: the blueberry cheesecake in the fridge. That must've been it! But inquiring minds don't rest. We had to test it out. So after a few days had passed, I ate another giant helping of cheesecake and blueberries. And lo: I broke out in horrible hives again! And I was miserable! Two inquiring minds were put to rest; mine was kept awake by all the itching. SCIENCE!
