If you're offering the cheesecake to polite company, do make sure you let it set overnight! Alas, I think reading only uses the same calories as basal metabolism, as the brain seems to need the same amount of energy whether it's actually doing something or just ticking over. But on the other hand, I bet a small-ish slice of cheesecake or a couple of ginger biscuits compares pretty favourably in calorie load with something like a chocolate-coated Penguin biscuit or a packet of crisps, and it's far more of a treat. <BR/><BR/>Constance - Good point, I forgot to mention the biscuit crust option. I almost never buy biscuits so I never have them in the house to make biscuit crust with, so pastry is easier for me. Maybe I should edit the post to add biscuit crust as an alternative, if I can remember the proportions.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-11749710249978443292007-06-30T16:47:00.000+01:002007-06-30T16:47:00.000+01:00Ummm, cheesecake.

Although I'm a bit lazy about making my own crust, unless its mashing some graham crackers together. <BR/><BR/>The rule at our house, is if the cheesecake only fits in one pie pan, it's too small. Make more. :)Constance Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964121072645959593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-4852465995673949672007-06-29T18:02:00.000+01:002007-06-29T18:02:00.000+01:00Hi CarlaI've been dipping into your blog and have ...Hi Carla<BR/><BR/>I've been dipping into your blog and have been meaning to say for ages how simply delicious those stem ginger biscuits are. I've made several batches already for various visitors and colleagues at work. I'm going to order your new novel soon and will look forward to reading it with a nice cup of tea and some of those stem ginger biscuits. And now it looks as if I shall have to accompany them with a slice of your strawberry cheesecake! How many calories does reading use up per hour? Oh dear...Sarah Cuthbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841282823433026980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-21681434956169949552007-06-29T09:54:00.000+01:002007-06-29T09:54:00.000+01:00Bernita - Why sinful?
