So, for those of you sticking around, I thank you. Things have been a little better lately in the Casa.  Kitchen time has been more plentiful.  I prepared a maple walnut cheesecake for a friend's belated birthday (see link in sidebar).  It didn't come out as nice as the one I made before, but it was still tasty

I'm now attempting to make a green tea cheesecake.  I've promised one to my roommate for her birthday, but I'm making a tester cheesecake and will be sharing it with coworkers so they can be my guinea pigs.  So far things are going mostly as planned.  I'll post the recipe in the next post.

I'd first had one when I went to Totem restaurant in Albany, NY.  I later found out that they get their cheesecakes from Cheesecake Machismo in Albany.  It's not that I can't afford to go buy one (I certainly support their business).  However, if you know me, you know how DIY I am.  Curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to make one on my own.

So we'll see how things turn out! Stay tuned.
