AT BAKING, I AM A ONE TRICK PONY

[chief38]

I normally really dislike doing anything but making Cocktails at the bar in the kitchen. Although my wife does truly enjoy my Omelets - they are good. That however is about the extend of my kitchen expertise. I have no patience for cooking/baking and especially for cleaning up!

The one and only thing I know how to bake is a spectacular Cheesecake - and we are Cheesecake fanatics! I have to say I have been told by many that this is the best Cheesecake they have ever tasted - I must agree. Now I am not bragging here - I did not invent the recipe, just saying!

Years ago I was in my friends home one day just after he got divorced. He's a commercial airline pilot so he keeps virtually nothing in his refrigerator except water, butter and a ketchup - lol! Anyway I was starving and so he asked me if I like Cheesecake - my response was who doesn't?! Anyway after tasting it and raving about it, I asked him where he bought it. He told me he made it - I just couldn't believe it! He told me to pick up all the ingredients on his list and come over tomorrow - he said he will show me how he does it. Well I did and he did - the rest is history!

Tonight we are having a small party for my best friend's 69th Birthday and this will serve as the B-D cake. This is the first time in over two years I made one - let's hope it came out great.

That looks like a cross between cheesecake and creme brulee! Two of my favorites. I bet I could eat that whole thing if given the chance!

That's why I make it just every so often. I ALWAYS eat too much! The one think it is NOT is low in calories - LOL!

Looks great. Philly ?

I do six types of creme brulee from whip cream, to pet milk to eggnog.
The pet milk is a Lite calorie concoction for the ladies watching their weight.

Will it get a topping of red cherry & gel sauce ?

Everyone likes this topping, that topping or no topping so we'll serve it as is and there will be a platter of fresh whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries. They can eat it the way they like it.

My wife and I prefer whatever fruit on top to be fresh - not baked in. I baked blueberries in once and did not like it much. Something about warm fruit turns me off.

My Wife loves cheesecake. It's a little to "rich" for me
Every so often I make one for her and friends crust and all.
It is genuine secret recipe from my cousin in New York
When making it, you realize just how unhealthy it is!!I need to make one in a Heart shaped pan!

YUP! Genuine Cheesecake will never get high marks from the American Heart Assn. - lol. That said I'd rather eat something great once or twice a year than have gross, fat free, sugar free, gluten free tasteless substance every week.
