.how to make a cheesecake


Ahem. How to make a mint oreo cheesecake: Shannon style.
2 days beforehand: buy the cream cheese and oreos. Feel like a culinary goddess. Talk to friends about the glorious cheesecake that is to come.
1 day beforehand: eat all the oreos. Feel like a stuffed oreo receptacle. Grumble that new oreos must be bought. the store is closed. Put off cheesecake making til the day it must be served.
The Day OF: set alarm for 9 am. Get up at 11, 5 hours before cheesecake serving time. Grumble and run over to the store.
12 PM: Realize I have no beaters. Determined, whip cream by hand instead. Never again. shudder.
12 20: Discover the best way to make oreo crumbs and delectable chunks is to throw the oreos in my laundry basket and bludgeon them with my hammer. Noise confuses roomates.
12:25: use cooking pot and a jug as mixing bowls. Combine ingredients.
12:40: Throw cheesecake into oven, and run through residence, telling spiritual friends/desiree to pray for it.
1:30: remove cheesecake. panic, for it is a gray cheesecake. Not white and delectable as photos in recipe would indicate. Shrug, throw in freezer.
4:00: retrieve cooled graycake, dismay at colour once more. Cover the top of the cheesecake with oreos. NO one will know!
4:30: serve cheesecake. Crowd mows it. Eat cheesecake...dang, tasty. Recieve multiple hugs from adoring public.
4:45: feel like a culinary goddess.
