Finally, CheeseCake!

Everyone in the family loves cheesecake. Hands down. (I'd like to think my Z got it because when I was preggy with her, I craved and indulged on Oh George! New York cheesecake.)

So, anyway, one fine grocery day, there was a good promo for cream cheese. Fast-forward to Christmas season, an even finer day it was - we finally got to bake our 1st homemade cheesecake!

Steps:
Preheat oven at 350F (or 175C).

🥮 Prepare crust:
3 cups (~18 pcs) graham crackers, crushed well
3 tbsp melted butter

Pour into mold and press to form crust, start at the center press outward/upward in the edges.

🥮Prepare filling:

🧀 Whisk together:
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
(alternative: 1 cup nestle cream + 1 tbsp vinegar, mix well. Leave covered at room temperature at most 24hours. Did mine for 3 hours only and turned out just fine.)
1 tbsp vanilla

🧀 Fold with spatula:
4 packs cream cheese (8 oz = ~226.79 grams each)
1 + 1.2 cup white sugar

🧀 Add and whisk together:
2/3 cup milk
4 eggs
2 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp orange zest

🧀 Bake for 1 hour at 350F (or 175C).
Let cool 3-4 hours in the oven (or room temperature).

Here's our 1st take, a quick snap for my precious sis birthday, before we gobbled it all up.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
