Nine Years and Counting

While cooking tonight, I asked DH to go to the pantry to get me something for me.

He came back carrying this soup can while shaking his head.

This can expired in 1998!
I guess we don't like cream of potato soup!

I just finished baking a pumpkin swirl cheesecake.

It looks like it turned out pretty good. There are only a couple of small cracks on the top.

I tried putting a bowl of water in the oven under the cheesecake as it cooked.
I think that did help it from not cracking more.

Now I don't know what to do to garnish it. I hate to take a naked cheesecake to dinner tomorrow!

  2. I probably still have outdated cans of stuff in my basement. I know the freezer down there has stuff from when Sean was in 6th grade and he's a college junior now. I can't get to the bottom of it (an upright).
    It's okay to have a few cracks in a cheesecake. I think you can put the pan right in a water bath (just wrap the springform pan in foil first). I worked at a gourmet place and that's how my boss did it. Whipped cream would be the perfect garnish! Happy Thanksgiving!

  4. Cheesecake, whether gussied up or plain is to die for.

    Years ago, H made a Pumpkin Kahlua Cheesecake with gingersnap crust that I can still taste to this day when I close my eyes. It was divine!

    A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
