There's no such thing as bad cheesecake

Really, it is true. I don't think I have ever had a piece of bad cheesecake, and I have had homemade with a luscious pumpkin filling and snappy gingersnap crust, the mix kind out of the box at the supermarket, the kind from the freezer, mini cheesecakes and cheesecake bites.

In just a bit, I am heading to the store to pick up some cheesecake because I have a Make A Difference Day meeting. We're planning an awesome project at Mission First in Jackson for Saturday, Oct. 26. Here's the info on it:

Mission First project

So anyhow, our team started joking about whether there was going to be cheesecake there at the meeting. But I never joke about some things, and cheesecake is one of them.

One of my sweetest cheesecake memories was when my second Dear Son and his Dear Brother and Dear Sister decorated a huge multi-flavored platter of cheesecake with birthday candles and surprised me on my day! It was practically on fire and setting off the smoke detectors because I am slightly over 29, but it was wonderful. I have the best children ever.

So we've got a couple of weeks until our project, but you can help now by making a donation of supplies for Mission First (detailed on the link), or make your own project for a favorite cause and register it on the website linked above, as one project will win $10,000 from Newman's Own. Someone's got to win -- why not your favorite charity?

We can't do good on an empty stomach, so I am off looking for cheesecake.
