Pathetic.
I think I should retire this blog. There's six of us here who can post and nobody ever feels the urge.
In the meantime, and more importantly...
A couple of years ago, I became obsessed with the baking of cheesecake. I baked a cheesecake at least once a week at one point, which was sort of weird and ironic because I couldn't really eat cheesecake without becoming hideously ill. My roommates at the time bitched and moaned about how fat they were getting, but they never managed to put their forks down and stop eating.
After a lot of experimentation, I came upon this recipe for chocolate swirl cheesecake. I made it and it was the best cheesecake I've ever had. It was the cheesecake apex. I stopped baking them after that, believing that they wouldn't get better.
All good things must come to an end, I guess, and this one came to a rather abrupt end the second time I baked this cheesecake. It wouldn't set. In fact, in every subsequent incarnation of this cheesecake, which have been many, it's managed to completely suck. Don't get me wrong, it tastes pretty good. In fact, if my purpose had been to make pudding in a crust, then I could congratulate myself on having succeeded rather fabulously. That not being my purpose, I'm rather puzzled.
Help? Anyone?
Please?
