The savory cheesecake I've made was less dense and creamy than the usual sweet cheesecake. It was also intended to be more of a cheese spread - truly yummy spread on those little rye bread rounds.

I do have to dig that out ...

Do I want a Keurig coffee maker? I don't drink that much coffee, and while the containerization irks me, it seems the best way to do intermittent cups of coffee. Or whatever.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

the containerization irks me

Because of the waste? If that's why, there are doodads out there that are refillable cups that fit into a Keurig; you can fill them with whatever coffee you like.

(Despite the fact that my SiL works for Green Mountain Coffee and offered to get us a Cadillac version of a Keurig with her discount, we passed on it, because we drink WAY too much coffee to make it practical to brew one cup at a time. We go for volume around these parts.)

Pete and I occasionally contemplate a Keurig, now that there are the refillable cups to use your own coffee in.

ita, I'm glad Polgera and J were able to help you.

I'm sorry I broke your day of the dead glass, Kat.

No worries, ita. I broke mine a couple of years ago. Are you all bandaged up due to the awesomeness that is P&J?

I have my students in the computer lab. At a glance, I can see on my desktop what they are looking at on theirs. It's freaky!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like an Aeropress for intermittent cups of coffee, Connie. [link] Available other places, I just like ThinkGeek's writeup.

THe unsweetened cheesecake I've been making is Cook's Illustrated Dense and Firm Cheesecake recipe with the sugar left out. And I leave off the crust. It's pretty close to eating a chunmk of cream cheese, but freezes better.

But I can testify that souffles are not as hard as I had feared (although cheese souffles, not as cheesy as cheesecake) if you like that texture. Don't travel well, but you can't have everything.

I like the idea of a Keurig because I can do tea or coffee or cider drinks. I need to do more to get off the diet Coke addiction. My bones will thank me.

because we drink WAY too much coffee to make it practical to brew one cup at a time.

This is us as well. I'm the same way with tea, brew a pot, not a cup at a time.

Why don't the adult people I work with know what the "address bar" is? And more importantly, why do they cut and paste URLs into google instead?

There's a cheesecake recipe in the archives here that has ambergris as an ingredient...I passed on trying to make that one.
