Deportation Party
Posted in Recipes on 08/16/2005 07:52 am by enjanerdFriday — Loafed around a bunch, but then made a Dulce de Leche Cheesecake for Eepie’s deportation party. Ventured off to Wegman’s to find some of the ingredients I needed and ended up having to wander around and ask a handful of employees where to find Dulce de Leche stuff. Some of the people had heard of it, some hadn’t, so I had hope that they had it in the store somewhere. I just had to keep asking until I found the one person who would know. Eventually, it turned out that I had walked right past it like 3 times because it was half-hidden behind a display. Once I found my key ingredient (International aisle, Latin American section), I was off!
Baked up the cheesecake. Freaked out a little because I had no idea how to tell if it was done. I didn’t know if non-jiggly meant it was set or if a toothpick inserted in the center would indicate anything. Turns out, when the whole cake rises, it’s done. So, I ended up baking it for about 75 minutes, taking it out 3 times to check it.
Let that cool/refrigerate for a while and read/napped. Then, walked over to the HOY for more lounging. Read for a while and waited for the Asian Express to arrive. Adventures at Malibu Grill, then back to the HOY where there were way too many people to keep track of. Excellent turnout for Eepie’s farewell. Lots of shiny new toys for her. Played video games, ate desserts, met new people… After the crowd thinned out, we headed out for some questionable activities, back for more video games, then home.
