I had a piece of cream cheese that has been in the fridge for a few weeks and it was meant to be used for one of the recipes from my newly bought cheesecake cookbook. But laziness got the better of me, and it continues to sit in the fridge until a day before the mover came over. I knew that I could not delay any further and quickly settled on a apple cheesecake recipe from the book.
The yummy cheesecake took less than 2.5 hours to bake and I managed to get it done just before meeting up my friends, HP and E for dinner. The cheesecake was distributed to the two ladies and I was really relieved that I did not have to consume the calories all by myself, ha!
