Making cheesecake is an ordeal that will not soon be forgotten. Imagine for a second that you and a few others decide it will be "dessert night," whereyou make a bunch of different things and then just pig out. Now picture one of them being cheesecake. The first thing that may come to mind is- how many people keep five boxes of cream cheese on their fridge? We certainly didn't, and thus began the long walk to Jewel at 10:30 at night. After a hour long excursion during which Brian and I purchased a lot of cream cheese, we sat down to make it. In what you might ask. Well, we had frozen two pie tins a while ago and figured we would use those. However, after getting home, we discovered that they crumbled to bits when we took them out of the freezer (and yes, they were meant to be frozen). So, I decided to make a crust based on the amazing pumpkin chiffon pie recipe given to me by Meg. Due to a craving for smores earlier in the year, I had the grahm crackers, and we even had almost all of the ingredients. We were only missing confectioners sugar, which I just left out and hoped it would still work. So we baked the crust to harden it, and filled it with the "not recommended" (as quoted from the cream cheese box) servings of fat in the cheesecake mixture. Then we realized that our recipe for the mixture was for 16-20 servings, and our pie tin might have been good for eight slices. So we made another crust half grahm cracker half oreo just to see if it would work, and baked and filled that one too. We still had leftovers so we just filled a third pie tine with the rest. Then we went to put them in the oven, and realized all three wouldn't fit, so we put the third one in my oven next door. The ones in brians oven started to burn a little bit so one of them is "as brown as nish" as was joked, the other is alittle dark around the edges, and the one in my apartment's oven came out nice and golden (likely because my oven couldn't put out enough heat to burn it). Then we took them out, cooled them down and put them in the fridge for 12 hours to let them get the right consistancy. And that was the ordeal of making a cheesecake.
As for everything else, well that was all we managed to get done, so they'll be plenty of more things to bake tonight, when we actually get to try the cheesecake.
