5 Squeezed and Zested Limes later
Oct. 26th, 2011 01:05 pmA Lime cheesecake is baking in the oven. Not the fluffed up with flour variety, either. The thick creamy kind.
Took the cream cheese blocks out nice and early so they would be room temperature by noon. Had three rather old limes in the fridge, left there for juicing. Picked three fresh ones for grated lime peel (zest really) and 1/2 of juice.
Instead of grating the limes, I used a zester, and then minced it fine. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for it to bake, and to let it cool. :) Smells so good!

Well, seems we were wrong
Jan. 26th, 2007 05:37 pmIt did get a helluva lot hotter when baking. But the good news is that the cookies came out perfectly. Of course Aikidomayland slept through all the hot hard work.
Shifted ' base of operations' out to the breakfast bar again. Too damned hot in the lounge. About 10 degrees F cooler out here than back there. All the birds really enjoyed a cooling soak down. Cats are strategically laid out in the hallway for maximum coolness and breeze.
