| Three Cities of Spain Classic Cheesecake |
The whole time I was making this cheesecake, I was thinking why the heck is it called the Three Cities of Spain Classic Cheesecake? I'm kind of ambivalent about cheesecake. It always seems just a little too rich for me, and so I did make some alterations to the recipe which I try not to do on the first pass, but I was making this one for my bookgroup and I wanted it to be perfect. So instead of using full fat cream cheese and sour cream, I used light sour cream for the topping and subbed 1 light cream cheese(out of 3) for the cream cheese. It really was the perfect balance. Is there something Spanish about cheesecake? Oooohhhh. Now, I have to make a confession. I used Nabisco's Famous Chocolate Wafers for the crust, and Bonne Maman cherry preserves for the topping. Is it derivative of the styles of three particular cities in Spain? I've never been to Spain, maybe cheesecake is a big thing there, what do I know? But when I looked up the recipe on Epicurious, all my questions were answered. Three Cities of Spain was a coffeehouse (now closed) in Santa Fe. This isn't my photo, but it looks just like the one I made.

Georgia Bakes a Cake, or, Melissa Gets Clever, Part II
All of these things have the potential to turn out badly, so while I let Georgia--a relatively inexperienced baker--take the reins, I was (very) close by to supervise.
One thing she was sad about was that the recipe calls for the pastry cream to cool for three hours--her husband and in-laws were

Chocolate Velvet Ice Cream
Consider the words of my son, avowed chocolate ice cream hater:
"Up until this exact point, 9:19 PM,Sunday, June 1, 2008 A.D., I hated chocolate ice-cream almost as much as:

Strawberry Shortcake
Not having made strawberry shortcake in, like, a decade, I was a little worried about the biscuits, which have not one jot of sugar in them. Not too huge, which sometimes you'll see with the biscuits in other recipes.
Is there any dessert more quintessentially "summer" than Strawberry
