I still salivate when I think of her fruit cake, which was more like a date bread, and a wonderful beef burgundy she once made for us. Wow, could that woman cook!!! I really want to try her cheesecake, possibly this week for our dinner club. Thanks for sharing. I think of Margaret often and feel her smiling. Melissa,

Your post dedicated to your Mom is "funny, brilliant, beautiful and feisty" (just like you, too!) and I'm sure she is touched by it. Thank you for sharing her story. Here's a toast to all of the loving, yet still assertive, women we have in our lives, and to those who have '"stepped-off" yet still live with us in spirit! -Jo Melissa,

It has to be room temperature or it will be chunky. Yes, you should let it cool to where it's no longer warm. I don't let it cool all the way, but it should be fairly close. Just touch it lightly and if it feels luke warm-ish, that's fine. But definitely make sure the cream cheese is room temp before you start mixing. It is next to impossible to make it "creamy" otherwise. It still tastes okay, but it's better when it's really creamy. SO glad you liked it. It's one of the best (and easiest) cheesecake recipes around! Happy holidays. Melissa Shannon,

Fri, 23 Nov 2012 03:29:04 +0000 http://www.glutenfreeforgood.com/blog/?p=8412#comment-20033 Thanks for the recipe (and lovely story of your mom). A couple of questions re: the cheesecake. 1)Mine was a little "chunky" and I'm guessing it was because my cream cheese was not softened enough. 2)do you let it cool completely before adding the sour cream top and throwing it back in the oven? Despite the weird texture thing, it was the best cheesecake I've had since going GF, and I even made it my supper. Happy Thanksgiing to you and yours!

I clicked on your link to the fluted edged Pyrex pan. Yes, that's the same as my grandmother's pan! (well, it was my Mom's and now, it's mine. I have it right here. When I make this at Christmas, I'm taking a pic and sending it to you. Thanks again. ok, even crazier? I clicked on your link to the fluted edged Pyrex pan.

Who knows, you might be related to her in some way. We've always felt we were genetically linked in some way, haven't we?! Yes, celebrate life and those who know how to do it right! My daughter spoke at the service and gave a Mae West quote that described her grandmother, "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." Perfect! Happy Thanksgiving! xo Erin,

I would love nothing better than to have you and your clan here for our Thanksgiving! Cheesecake, macaroons, red wine, and dark chocolate. Oh, and I suppose we can have a turkey, or maybe an English quail. Thank you for your kind comments, my friend. One of these days we'll be toasting off-beat women of all kinds. Some wearing Japanese silks and faux leopard non-skid house slippers, some wearing flannel ski jammies and hiking boots, one riding a motor cycle in her salad days (or, at least posing on one), and so on. And so on. Would love, love, love to see you. It will happen. Sending good energy and lots of love your way. A newsy email to follow when I come up for air. =) Melissa Cid,
