This isn't a real recipe, but I can give it out if people would like to steal it copy and try to make it for themselves. It's a really great recipe. (I shall upload it to my other blog, where I post my cooking recipes here) 

When you have the items on hand.

Not mine, but best that matches mine that I could find on Photobucket from user - erinandpayton2


Recipe follows...

Ingredients: Dedication to making one cheesecake.

Step 1. Figure out you need FOUR boxes of cream cheese. Hunt around in fridge and only find two. Proceed to tear apart freezer, going through many frozen pizza slices and discover one box in door, then hunt around even longer to find one more box. Check.

Step 2. Go to cabinet to find graham cracker crust to determine have no graham cracker crust. Figure then to just make gingersnaps to use as gingersnap crust. Check.

Step 3. Proceed to make gingersnap cookies only to discover you do not have brown sugar as is needed to make said cookies. Hunt around entire cabinet in dining room, kitchen, even as far as possibly thinking would be placed on shelves with can foods or fridge. Discover missing brown sugar where previously was two bags of brown sugar. Proceed to say okay, will make own substitute. Check.

Step 4. Proceed to make own brown sugar substitute only to discover one does not have molasses to make said brown sugar substitute so one must use maple syrup. No, not genuine maple syrup as one does not have that either. One must use Mrs. Butterworth butter flavored pancake syrup to substitute for molasses to make substitute brown sugar. Check.

Step 5. Proceed on with process of making gingersnap cookies only to discover one is now missing ground cloves, but has whole cloves. One does not have clove grinder so one makes one out of piece of wood (1x1 brother brought home from construction site, which is a foot long and said "thought you could find use for this" oh how he would be proud of ones use for now "clove grinder" wood.) and plastic bag and smash the living crap out of cloves which are now taking brunt of frustration for everything deciding to go missing on this one day so that they will be "ground" cloves!! Ahem... Check.

Step 6. Proceed to finally have what one calls gingersnap cookie recipe, tasting rather better raw then one wishing to cook it. Despite the "extra" butteriness from Mrs. Butterworth pancake syrup. So some might not have made to cookie sheets to bake. One proceeds to simply slap lumps of batter onto cookie sheets as at this point it has taken over an hour just to even gather ingredients and one is using them to make crust anyway so one does NOT care that they are not beautiful. Check.

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
