my first cheesecake, to make of course!

ive eaten plenty. but in 2010, it was my time to make one. i consulted my dessert diva, sandra stayton, and she recommended this recipe and had some great tips. quote:

"They can be intimidating but you just have to remember to KEEP AN EYE ON IT while it is baking. That is the key to a good cheesecake. There two different ways you can make it. One being non-bake; the other being the baked kind. I prefer the baked one. They always come out creamier than the non-baked ones. Here is an amazing recipe that I found. Everything that I have ever made from this blog comes out perfectly. The instructions are laid out meticulously. Just remember, KEEP ON EYE ON IT while it is baking. P.S. KEEP ON EYE ON IT while it is baking!"

i got the feeling from her email that i should keep en eye on it while it was baking. so i did, but it happened quick! this experience taught me that my old oven heats up quicker than most, probably isnt accurate and gets hotter, and whatever is in the back burns easily. nice. so my cheesecake top didnt turn out perfect, but it didnt crack and wasnt totally ruined. i topped mine with thawed out frozen cherries, which covered up any boo-boos anyway. :) i brought it to my small group and everyone liked it, even the cheesecake masters, jana and larry gross. or maybe they were just being nice. but the leftovers dont lie: there weren't any! :)
