Perhaps a bit new-project-eager of me, but I've completed my second 'first' this week as well!
For well over a year now, I've kept a friends cake pan hostage... collecting dust and guilt at the back of my hall closet. I credit this 'first' to Mark for his pan (and understanding and forgiveness) and to Thiago for be being Brazilian (and therefor hosting the Brazilian BBQ this past weekend that served as the perfect venue for my cheese cake debut).
Margarita Cheese Cake with lime and Tequila seemed the best fit for this sunny backyard BBQ - and it was. Not counting the melted, sloppy whip cream mess that formed like soup on the surface, the cake was pretty tasty. I confess, I had no idea that the acid from the limes would break down the whip cream. Lesson learned. Mission accomplished.
