That's quite an adventure, Sheryl. Gla dthe power came back on.

I don't see why, Lee.

I've always made cheesecake crusts (when I've made crusts for them) with graham cracker crumbs. I believe you can also use GrapeNuts (which I think is nut free, but I could be wrong about that).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From ichef:

1 1/2 c Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/3 c Sugar
1/3 c Melted Butter

Instructions

1. Mix ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes; cool and fill.

I'm interested in the nut recipe now.

Hmmm. Graham crackers and/or Ritz crackers and/or GrapeNuts. OK, I'll check those out. Thanks!

It's one of those things where I don't really need a recipe for the way I usually do it, but the thought of changing my cooking habits leaves me all, "Buh, wuh, huh, no nuts? Er . . . "

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, grape nuts are nut-free -- it's "nut" as in "ridiculously hard little nubbin" and "grape" as in "sweet". Ah, truth in advertising....

I'm interested in the nut recipe now.

I've always made nut crusts pretty the way I make graham cracker crusts, only with ground almonds (or more rarely, hazelnuts) in place of the crumbs. And only enough butter to make 'em stick, since they won't absorb it.

It's basically the Graham Cracker recipe you just posted, except there's about half a cup of flour and a cup of finely ground nuts in place of the Graham crackers. And I usually use brown sugar. And sometimes I throw in a little cinnamon and nutmeg.

Interesting. I may try that nut thing. I've never even heard of it.

There's a crust I've made with pine nuts. Don't have it handy, though. I love pine nuts, so there's always the danger I'll eat all the crust before it makes it into the pan.

Mom used to refer to her grapenuts as baked gravel.

Depending on the flavor of the cheesecake, there's also the chocolate wafer/oreo without the middle approach.

This would not work so well with, say, a key lime cheesecake.

Yum, oreos.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't see why, Lee.

Excellent.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The landlord just came by to look at the damage. He's never been in my place, and I was just cleaning up the bathroom.

He stopped in the living area, where i painted one of my walls purple without permission, and said, "Wow. This place is so. cool."
