This cheesecake has been in my to do list for a long long time.
But I just doesn't have the time to do it.
I think my baking list is piling up.
The amount of recipes I have on hand can take F O R E V E R to finish.
And the best thing is I keep collecting them.
But I'm happy. Who cares??
Soon I think I will have to sleep with my recipes and cookbooks because I have no space to store them.
