Something I learned today; you can not bake a "real" cheesecake without a spring form pan, and Martha Stewart isn't the domestic diva we all think she is, sometimes she's wrong! Why didn't the glass of water keep my cheesecake from cracking, huh Martha ?
"I heard it from a friend" is my new favorite cookbook. Don't rush out to the store, this baby is a one of kind. It was made in 1993 by the ladies of The First Baptist Church in Calvert City, KY. I found this and "Adventures in Microwave Cooking." I guess I'm like those guys on American Pickers but I did my picking in my moms storage shed while helping her pack for a cross country move to KY. I don't exactly know what type of adventures I'll have in microwave cooking, but apparently in the 70's when it was published you needed a guide for using those futuristic machines. Something tells me they didn't have Pizza Rolls and Easy Mac back then, but honestly why else would anyone have a Microwave ? lol
I've found some great Southern classic in "I heard it from a friend" you don't find these in Martha Stewart Living. Let me just tell you, the reason everyone likes a Southern womens cooking is this; we use sugar as an ingrediant in any recipe and if all else fails; we fry it. Sounds terrible I know, but it's just the way we do things down South. When your momma makes pasta sauce with 2-3 tabelspoons of sugar, of course you'll be begging for more. :) I never said we were healthy.......
