Annette's Input
Most people don’t want to have
surgery but I’m a glutton for punishment--I really would like to get my knee
fixed! So…I’m watching the calories pretty faithfully but couldn’t miss
out on our third annual National Cheesecake / Fix the World lunch.
Luckily I was able to get the Low Carb Cheesecake and it hit the spot – not
like Oreo Dream Cheesecake or Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake would have done – but
a sweet spot nonetheless. It had that nice creamy texture of cheesecake
topped with fresh strawberries. Best of all was the graham cracker crust
– which in my opinion is the best part anyway. Here’s to next year!
National Cheesecake Day is upon Us Once Again
The assignment? Cheesecake Factory's newest creation: The Lemon Meringue Cheesecake.
Lemon Cream Cheesecake Swirled with Lemon, Topped with Layers of Lemon Mascarpone Mousse and Housemade Meringue on a Vanilla Crumb Crust.
This light sensation did not disappoint. It was not heavy at all, but it still had the rich, full flavor of a cheesecake. Likewise, the lemon was light and citrus-tart, but without a hint of a squint (ya know, when it's too sour).
The only hesitations I had at all were the not-graham crust (which I LOVE) and the meringue--not my favorite. This crust? Well, it was VERY good, it didn't slow down my eating, and I wouldn't have given it a thought if I wasn't writing this blog. :) And since we exited the restaurant and entered the heat immediately upon receiving our desserts, the meringue on my pie melted. It left some sweet gooey-ness on top of the cheesecake---Mmmm! However, if you are big meringue fan, you'll want to keep this cheesecake cool until you eat it.
Usually I'm an all-chocolate girl, but with a need for something just a tiny bit lighter on my palette, this cheesecake was the perfect choice!

A Story
Shana: I feel really off the ball today, do you think you all can help me get back on it?
Aundrea: I’m no help today. At all. Sorry…
Kim: I am no help today either, I am off too…in fact I am chasing as the ball rolls down a very steep hill.
Shana: In fact I think that same ball ran me over half way down!
Aundrea: …where it came to a decided halt at my feet. (insert blank stare here)
Kim: Which left Shana and I still running unable to halt and where we bounced on the ball and over Aundrea’s head so we did not run into her.
Aundrea: And Aundrea, still staring blankly, was left in the dust because she just couldn’t get on the ball.
Shana: But then Kim and Shana tripped over each other and fell at Annette’s feet, where Annette patiently picked us up, dusted us off, shook Aundrea to wake her up and we all went to lunch and had a good laugh.
Aundrea: The end. I LOVE happy endings!
