On a work trip to LA, around 1985 I stopped at a place called the Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills. That Cheesecake was fantastic. Little did I know it was the first of many.
It took you a couple of weeks to drink 36 beers?
His last post was about someone questioning his metric methodology on 9/2/2020:
His last activity of any kind on the forums was on 12/4/2020, so it looks to me like @LemonPie took a self imposed hiatus.

Quick one I picked up

For the crust:
1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
For the filling:
1½ pounds cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup sugar
pinch of nutmeg

2 egg yolks, room temperature
1# quality white chocolate, melted
6 ounces key lime juice, room temperature
2 tablespoons Meyer’s Dark Rum
KEY LIME-WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
For the crust:
1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs

pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 whole eggs, room temperature
2 egg yolks, room temperature
1# quality white chocolate, melted
6 ounces key lime juice, room temperature
2 tablespoons Meyer’s Dark Rum
- For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter and press into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
- For the filling, using an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese, sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
- Add the room temperature eggs and yolks individually to the cream cheese mixture. Scrap the bowl often.
- To melt the white chocolate, pour chocolate into a microwave-safe container and cook in 30 seconds increments at half power, stirring between each cooking interval. Continue cooking and stirring until chocolate is smooth.
- Fold melted chocolate into the cream cheese base until completely incorporated.
- Combine key lime juice and rum and fold into the batter.
- Pour filling into the prepared crust. Bake at 325° F in a water bath for 50 minutes to an hour. The center should be set.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool for two hours on a wire rack. For best results, chill overnight before unmolding.
Charlie sold it 2 year ago. But, I did see him there tonight when I was delivering the cakes
Ahh no way, I loved that place. Hope he’s doing well, heck of a guy!
He sure is. He worked for my Dad at the Hearthstone and I worked for Charlie for 15 years on Sunday nights.
Those were only my "have a beer in my room" beers. Most of my drinking back then was done either in the house bar or an actual bar.
Well, we definitely have crossed paths! Next time I come down from the mountain if there’s cheesecake on the menu I’m trying it.
I am partial to hair pie like this...
You know you are too consumed with Wrestling when you look at the gif, hope the poor girl finds her contact lens and move on to the next post.
I can't sleep is issue number two.
Reese's Pieces are SOOOOO good. I love Choc Chip Cookie Dough too. Ahhh, who am I kidding? I love it all.
Sorry to drag this thread back from the depths, but I have a fairly good reason (cheesecake).
What kind of cheesecake does Crooked Creek have right now. We're heading up to Ricketts Sunday and we will most likely eat there. I can't wait to try a slice.
They don't have one right now. I will take one out there today. Even though they didn't order it. I will update this when I decide what flavor I'm delivering. Thanks for asking.
Sorry?
Next to discussing 4 or 5 National Champs on a Saturday night or Tokyo reservations for 50% of the US Olympic team being NLWC members, these Cheesecake posts are next in line, they are 1b.
Never apologize about food posting especially off season.
I hope you reach your goal today with histone in your corner!
Ok here are the options,
Fruity Pebbles
Chocolate chip cookie dough
Key Lime
Chocolate/ Peanut Butter
Chocolate/ Caramel/Pecan (Shak came up with this flavor)
Key lime or chocolate/peanut butter. I do appreciate you doing that.
Did you make a key lime cheesecake for Easter? If so hope it turned out well and that you enjoyed it. I'm getting hungry just typing this out...
We're walking in the door now
Edit. We didn't eat there. They had a 2 person band and it was waaaaaay too loud. Got 2 key lime cheesecakes to go. I'll eat them when we get home.
Why do bands insist on blowing out everyone's eardrums. Especially on such a small venue. Maybe I'm hitting my "get off my lawn" stage. But when you have to yell just to place your order that's not enjoyable.

Oh shucks, I didn't know about that. But, I had a personal chocolate/ pb for you to take home. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed your hike at Ricketts
We hit Westover's Country Grill in Benton. It's a simple little diner. Great food though.
Bonus sightseeing: We drove by the scene where numerous watermelons were crushed to death in Benton.

Damn. Thank you again for running that out though. I wish I knew about the chocolate/pb. I would have snagged it too. I can't wait to dig in once we get home.
My wife will have a tough decision to make. She loves key lime, but doesn't like cheesecake.
Ricketts was great. We saw all the falls (about 7 mile round trip). 1100 feet down and 1100 feet back up to the top. Highly recommend it. Good tennis shoes or hiking boots are needed.
Ricketts is a beautiful park, it was almost a National Park.
It certainly is a beautiful park.
There's a bunch of similar parks in the Finger Lakes region in NY (Watkins, Buttermilk, Treman, etc). We've been to most of them, all are unique and beautiful.
Pretty sure if @LemonPie eventually shows up again, sees there's a thread about him, sees further that it quickly descended into a travel and baking discussion, he'll be greatly disappointed.
I thought about that. If I remember correctly, one of the things that annoyed him was derailing threads.
Oh well, if he gets mad about it, at least we will know we got him back
If somebody just posts a shirtless Cassar pic from time to time, it'll keep him here.
