I received this email earlier today and would like to respond to it.

Tramp,
What's this crap with friendship, poetry, hints, tips and the rest of this garbage? What's next, recipes?

Recipes? What a great idea!

Here is my favorite cheesecake.


Supreme Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Ingredients:
1 cup of chocolate wafer crumbs
3 tablespoons of margarine, melted
24 ounces of cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Combine crumbs and margarine; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350
degrees F., 10 minutes. Combine cream cheese, sugar and flour, mixing at medium speed on
electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Blend in sour cream and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips and pour into crust. Bake at 350
degrees F., 55 minutes. Loosen cake from rim of pan; cool before removing rim of pan. Chill.
Garnish with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves, if desired.


FOOTNOTE: No one tells Tramp what he can and cannot do!

Tramp, this person clearly wants a new dinner recipe ~ here is my favorite.

Every year at the holidays we have roasted duck, potato dumplings, and sauerkraut. This is a traditional Slavic menu ~ my hubby is of Slavic descent.

Potato Dumplings
4 cups of boiled potatoes shredded
2 cups of flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of salt

Make dough by combining the ingredients above, then roll out into dumplings, boil for 8 minutes or until dumplings float. Finally add to roasting duck for the last 10 minutes of baking time serve with sauerkraut.

Slavic Sauerkraut
One large jar of kraut
Brown sugar to taste
1 teaspoon of caraway seeds

Enjoy!

I am Slavic too! On my mothers side. I love this food!
