Join me here in wishing Cass (Kid Pizza) a very happy birthday! Many of us have benefited from his baking advice and insights over the years as he brought baking science to bear on our dilemmas with breads and cakes. We miss you, Cass, and we hope that you will check in here again soon.

Good afternoon to you. Thank you for your birthday greetings sent to me. I appreciate them very very much so.
Chocomouse you want to know what I did this past week....Well I worked my butt off. I began Monday doing my prep. for 4 NY cheesecakes.I baked Tuesday it took all dqy because my oven bakes 1 at a time... 1.5 hrs each.
Wed. I released them from the pans after an overnite in the fridge to coagulate them. cut the 7, in cakes into 12 equal slices & the others into less parts.
I celebrated my birthday by domated (1) 7, in cake to our residents with a root beer float donated by the kwanis club. Everyone was surprised here that I was able to bake in my 1 bdrm unit with no oven. I have a c'top electric oven a $99 special. 9 shortbread cookies at a time that takes all day as well to do 21, oz of butter worth cookies. I kept the 5,in cake for myself but I was able to eat 75% worth... utility employees came to my door later wanting to know if they could taste some. So, I gave them my last 2 pieces. All that work for just a taste of my world class cheesecake. Too much work for me I still have about 10, minutes of clean -up to complete. I had this 3,# block of cr. chse from Costco I paid $6,00 for some time ago. I was going to throw it out because I cannot stand anymore. But foolishly I decided to make the effort.
Tonight for dinner my lady friend Gerry is taking me out for a new buffet in a local revamped casino for my birthday. Then Tomorrow morning for breakfast after church at 9:00 am I meet my other lady friend Dr.lauren as her guest.
I am finished now, Thank you for your interest in me & for remembering me. These days it means more than can know.
