I told him I make a killer cheesecake.  He told us to wait and he ran to the back of the store, coming back with a huge block of cream cheese (3 lbs!) and handed it to me.  I guess that was his way of saying &#8220;<em>Here&#8217;s the cream cheese.  Now go make me a cheesecake.<\/em>&#8221;  So I did.  Yesterday &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Chere&#8217;s special recipe crust.

At least it looks perfect.  Let&#8217;s hope I lived up to my words with taste.<\/p>\n<p>We just returned from handing Chris one of the cheesecakes (with my business card &#8230; who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll get a yoga student out of the deal).<\/p>\n<p>Now I have to figure out what to do with the other cheesecake.  Hmmm.  A whole cheesecake in my fridge.  It&#8217;s too much for me to eat alone.  Here&#8217;s a special deal <em><strong>only for those who read my blog today<\/em><\/strong>.  I should be home most of the day.  Stop by and have a piece, or bring a plate to take a piece home with you.  Please call or text first.
