Muthashutyomouf!

It's Friday, cookin', taking Edie out on her pushbike, meeting up for a movie with the HVS. A good day.

TODAY'S COOKING
Cheesecakes: Made 1 big and one small hardcore cheesecake, one for Mother's Day gathering with B's side of the family, one small one for either give away or personal (ab)use. Was going to make a series of mini's for next weekend's bridal shower I'm helping host, but Edie destroyed all the mini cupcake liners, so that'll have to wait.

Went free style on my c-school recipe. Pack of graham crackers, stick of melted butter, heavy pinch of salt, food processed to gritty mush (skipped adding sugar as I like a more savory crust to the very sweet cake, makes both pop.) Pressed into the two different sized collared pans, turned out pleasingly thin, in the oven for 10 at 300 until slightly browned and un-wet looking.

While that was happening, in the stand mixer went 2.5 lbs of cream cheese, 1 3/4 lb sugar, 5 whole eggs, 5 egg yolks, vanilla extract, zest of a lemon and an orange, 1/8 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sour cream, mixed it hardcore until it was mostly smooth. Poured into the pans, put in a 475 degree oven for 10 minutes with a pan of water at the bottom.

Turned down to 200 and baked for 2 hours. Turned it off and they sat for another hour. Into the fridge for 24 hours.  And that, my friends, is how you make CHEESE-muthashutyomouf-CAKES!

Our schedule was interrupted, so I got a plate of food from a vendor outside the theater. It was neither particularly good or vegan, but it's the company that makes a snickle meal.
