I had a meltdown yesterday evening. I had been cooking and cleaning all day and yes, I was sort of cranky but happy. I had just made the crust for the Herbed Cheesecake (the last thing of the evening), pressed it into the pan like the instructions read, had baked it to perfection, pulled it out and the bottom of the pan fell out of the ring onto the counter. I suppose - better on the counter than on the floor, huh? I could not believe my eyes!! I yelled like a banshee!! There was my beautiful cheesecake crust cracked and crumbled. I put the ring very gently back on and pressed the crust into a somewhat-correct shape again, put foil all around and under the pan, went ahead and made the filling, poured it in and baked it anyway. A "younger" me, a more immature, impatient me, would have broken down in tears and gave up; but the older me says, ain't no way I'm wasting all this good crust and time. It turned out looking great and you'd never know the crust was cracked and broken . . . but I know and I'm still fuming. Guess what's on my list to buy at the store after Christmas?? I got up this morning and made a Sausage and Egg Casserole. It will sit in the frig overnight and then I can either bake it tomorrow or freeze it for later. Hmmmmm! What to do! Check out my Recipes page for the Herbed Cheesecake recipe. Oh my gosh, I just don't think you can go wrong with this recipe! By!

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
