Recipe Update

I've been a cooking bee-ah-ch. The crust of the cheesecake finally worked. It did not stick to the pie plate or turn into a pile of crumbs. And the cheesecake itself was so fabulous that I licked the electric mixer arms clean... and the wooden spoon... and the spatula.

I also completed 2 more recipes. Baked scrod & broccoli & rice casserole. What does that mean? There is only one more recipe left for me to test. And it just so happens to be a sweet. That seems quite fitting, to end with a sweet treat. The recipe is ricotta egg biscuits. I have never made them myself or even witnessed my grandmother bake them. Usually these simple facts would stress me out, but, my Aunt Maria has perfected Momma's recipe. And so far, every recipe she's passed along to me has worked just beautifully. I'll be in RI next weekend, get a copy of the how to & bake them up right away. I want to be done with cooking as of June 1st. And to all of my recipe testers out there - I have more recipes to pass along. Give a holler if you are up for more cooking/baking.

Leslie, I'm going to pass along the cheesecake recipe to you after the holiday weekend. It's so very easy.

Kathleen - I know how crazy you are right now. Testing the biscotti was such a huge help to me. I think I can round up enough people for the 2nd round of testing.

Dawn, I'd love to have you & Mike (fellow Rhode Islanders) test something for me. I contact you after the holiday.

Jes, OMG!! I'm getting so very excited. It's just around the corner. Hope wanted me to make her fav childhood dish while we're there. I'll have to call her & see if she still wants me to do it. Maybe, I'll make cheesecake for the BBQ.
