My ma and I have always made cheesecake for any/all big family shenanigans (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Reunions). But I braved it on my own tonight, breaking with family tradition. One of the reasons I started this blog is so that I would be motivated to cook and hopefully all you wiseguys out there could tell me how to fix up my sloppy baking skills. My ma loves me too much to tell me exactly where I got the cheesecake to crack (which you can't see in the fotos, because of flash). I tried my hand at making a crust, let's see how it all holds together tommorow.. This is only part one though folks! Tomorrow I'll dress it to be a really fancy schmancy cake. </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261269696986077822-8907006293711599563?l=buckbackbirds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18183327256007335197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261269696986077822.post-65266963590087498672009-08-29T11:51:00.006-06:002009-08-29T12:16:41.838-06:00<div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375446523343407010" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ1oMvY47tk/SplsIfT-B6I/AAAAAAAAAAc/3BuXpB99CC0/s200/seattle2+089.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375446514231650002" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ1oMvY47tk/SplsH9XjptI/AAAAAAAAAAU/7ODwabVtt6k/s200/seattle2+088.jpg" border="0" /> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ1oMvY47tk/SplsI9b2J_I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Dx5K5a4w0Xg/s1600-h/seattle2+090.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375446531429509106" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ1oMvY47tk/SplsI9b2J_I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Dx5K5a4w0Xg/s200/seattle2+090.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="center">I made this little guy two weeks ago, my first needle felt creature!
