Cheesecake

So Steve came home the other day and says that there is a tradition at his work where the new guy needs to bring a cake for his department. The funny thing is that he asked when the tradition started and they said with the last guy. So I am debating what to make because I am not a cake baker or at least not enough to impress others. I feel fairly confident in my cheesecake skills, so I decided to go get ingredients for a chocolate cheesecake.

I headed into the store, kidless so I could concentrate, and found the eggs. Then headed to find the graham crackers, sugar, chocolate chips, vanilla, condensed sweetened milk. Finally about 15 minute later I put my pride down and tried to ask where I may be able to find these things or if they even carried them at all.

I was on what looked like the baking aisle and asked someone there if they knew if they carried chocolate chips and they pointed me to the chip aisle. Asked someone if they knew where the vanilla was and they pointed me to the vanilla milk. I was able to find the sugar on my own because it was labeled sugar. I just got strange looks when I asked about graham crackers, but there was girl there that pointed me to a thing called "digestive crackers", which are pretty good actually somewhat comparable to graham crackers.

I ended up leaving with eggs, cream cheese, digestive crackers, vanilla milk(only because I felt bad that person went to all the trouble finding vanilla for me), sugar, a chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips and margerine. I will get better at this and maybe learn some yummy foods that they make here so I don't have to stress about ingredients.

Their bakery is pretty amazing. Everything I have tried has been super yummy. Interesting looking, but very yummy. I will post pics of my cheesecake and some yummy bakerstuff once I get my cord to the camera.

Oh and by the way the cheesecake turned out pretty good, even though I couldn't get all the ingredients. I am enjoying living here. It is such a fun different experience.
