Berry Blue

"It happens all the time, they all become blueberries."

Fresh Blueberries



Blueberry Topping



New York Cheesecake


Cheesecake came out smooth.  No lumps.
Just enough tanginess; not too sweet.
(used 1 part cream cheese; 1 part sour cream)
Cooked perfectly.  No cracks.
(Recipe called for 1hr 15mins--I only baked it for 45mins coz of the size factor)


Petit Fours



Blueberry Mini-Cheesecake

Who Moved My Cheese?

Cheese Pie.
A favorite treat from a small but busy bakery on Tropical Avenue in my hometown, B.F. Homes (same bakery where I had my first Chocolate Crinkles).  Introduced to me by Elisa (whom I fondly call Mariel) and eventually shared with other friends like Louise (whom we fondly spell Loowey).    
Sad part of this story is I've been told that bakery doesn't make cheese pies anymore.
