Groupon :)
I don’t do much in the way of commercial promotion here, but I wanted to share a service with you that I’ve been enjoying … just in case you haven’t found it yet yourself. It’s called “Groupon” … and it’s … Continue reading
Addendum on my cheesecake post … about time and temperature :)
I just realized that I didn’t discuss baking times and temperatures Never bake your cheesecake in an oven hotter than 350 degrees. If your cheesecake is more than two inches thick, then I wouldn’t bake it any hotter than 325 … Continue reading

Update on the cheesecake … and a discussion of baked cheesecakes in general :)
Here’s how my cheesecake looked once it came out of the springform pan: As you can see, no cracks … and if my blog had Taste-O-Vision, you’d be as thrilled with the taste and texture as we were! The cheesecake … Continue reading
