"Snow Emergency even/odd parking restrictions for side streets will be in effect on Sunday, January 20 and Monday, January 21, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. No parking is allowed on Sunday, January 20 on the even-numbered side of the street . . . Vehicles are subject to ticketing and towing."
Does this affect us for tomorrow?

Yes, but I missed that one, so I'm voting for cara cara orange sorbet anyway.

Switching desserts to Japanese Cheesecake. This is a 'simplified' variant, because I want to see if I even like it.
Many of the recipes out there use 13 egg whites and initial oven temperatures of 320 or 340 degrees, followed by a lower temperature baked for a considerable period of time. This simplified begins at 400 degrees, then lowers and eventually the oven is turned off.
I never thought about this until I saw Laura Cheng experimenting with this on facebook. I really liked how it jiggles.

P.S. Jury is still out about getting out of here, but I will optimistically bake this anyway.

Today's the day to check out a Japanese cheesecake, because the drive is now driveable!
