    I was thinking this too.

    I don't think I actually own a pan that is the correct volume for this cheesecake, but maybe I'll try it in the borrowed pan first and then if it's good, see if I can work with something I have.

    here is what I like about this cheesecake -
    i like dessert and I like cheese cake and I could stick it in the oven and come back an hour and a half later and have dessert for a whole week - or something impressive looking for company.
    i am allergic to cow milk and this cheesecake is made with goat ricotta - lower calorie and an easy add on when I make mozerella.
    also it has six eggs. I have a lot of eggs right now and this turns them into dessert!

    i think a "dry drunk" hoarder is probably someone who is able to make rational decisions about what to keep and what to discard and who maybe would like to have more stuff, but doesn't because the available space is whatever definition of "full" is functional for them and the people affected by their space. (be that spouse or fire department)

    that at decision making thing - that's the muscle that gets exercised. Hoarders do not make rational decisions about stuff. They rationalize their decisions, but every decision is emotional. It's really hard to learn that even though you are going to feel bad about getting rid of the stuff, if you have made a rational decision about it, that feeling will go away, and over time, it will be attached to fewer things and often less intense.

    My mom always made her cheesecake in a pie pan and served it just like a pie. Oh, it was yummy. Graham cracker crust, cheesecake filling and a sour cream spread as a topping. We did not have the money for fancy pans if they were even available in Alaska in the 50s.

    No, it came out fine, it's just not very rich, so why bother. :-(

    i didn't buy the pan, and I am dehoarding the cheesecake recipe.

    and I have decided not to bid on the doll I've been watching for three weeks, because she doesn't really add anything new or unique to my collection. (I have dolls that size, gender, ethnicity, period, material and coloring, I have a doll by that artist) She's just really pretty. I don't have room for all the really pretty dolls I will ever see for sale, no matter how good a deal they are. - I am learning to curate the collection instead of just collecting it!

    UA - much of psychiatry is based in culture. Only 40 years ago homosexuality was a diagnosis. Only ten years ago transgender was a diagnosis. So I feel your concern... And this is coming from a psych nurse with 16 years experience who loves her work. 😄

    When my daughter got married, we had a brunch at our house. Much to my embarrassment dh gave the entire family a full tour of the addition project which included a trip through my still messy, over full, disorganized basement.

    last night my brother in law approached me very gingerly. "I was wondering if I could ask you...as someone who has some issues with stuff...you know Kay (his wife) has some issues with stuff (an entire 2 car garage no one can see into for a start)...and when we were at your house...your basement...it seems like when we were there ten years ago......there used to be some interior walls (by which he means made of stuff)...Where did that go?" And I said "it's gone." And he said "how did you do that?!" So we talked for a while.

    i don't know if she's ready for help or not, but it would be great if I could help her. They have clearly been unhappy for a long time (individually and together) and she and I used to be really good friends.

    that would be wonderful if you could help someone else, especially since you've been there
