So we got back from Gatlinburg. My poor wife was sick the whole time with the stomach flu. She did muster enough energy to go on a short hike and walk around Gatlinburg a bit. It was just nice to spend time in the cabin away from the craziness. I love the mountains, I am not a big fan of the rest of Gatlinburg. I can not think of a place that reeks with the horrid stench of materialism and useless trinkets as here. Well at least in the south. It boggles my mind that there are that many stores selling just useless crap. It really is odd, You have this area's most beautiful country side along side the strangest form of tourism that you will ever see.
I did get a chance to do some cooking while at the cabin and for those that love sweets, I made my wife a Chocolate Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. It was awesome. My cheesecake making abilities is what interested my wife in me in the first place. So I have too keep trying to up the skills. This one was a keeper. Hopefully she will get better soon and can enjoy it before I gain like 40 pounds from eating the whole thing.
