My cheesecake love affair, I wish I know how to quit you.

I have a sweet tooth, that much I can say. I love desserts of which I rarely get to indulge before. So, desserts of all kinds---I'm all for it. I can't exactly remember when I first had cheesecake but I'm sure it was when I moved in with my "adopted" family in Cowichan Bay.
Amarula Cheesecake. The best one I've ever had and much more so because Rita made it for my birthday. 

I am fortunate to enjoy the kind that you don't get from the store. The ones I have had were all made from scratch. And what's more cool about it, is I'm there to witness the whole process. Then afterward, I get to lick bowls and spoons.
Lemon-Lime Cheesecake. I don't know about you, but to say "No, thanks." to this is crazy. 

Cheesecake is not something to be devoured. For me, it is delicate, so you just don't go and dig in. The "melt-in-your-mouth" sensation has to be enjoyed at leisure. Like any other desserts, it is loaded with tons of calories that any sane individual try to avoid ( at all costs ). I, on the other hand, become oblivious to the caloric content of my new-found love and lose myself in it. Calories? To heck with it.

Here's hoping for more cheesecake in the years to come. :-)
