Cheesecake Memories

Cheesecakes ready to go into the oven. God, the memories of my Mom and her famous cheesecake! As small children, David and I eagerly waited to lick the beaters. When we got older, there was the tedium of crushing the crackers, and the back-breaking task of filling and tamping down hundreds of those mini-tarts, and as a newlywed learning the tricks to bake the pie myself. Now my own kids are grown and still love this dish more than anything. Love you and miss you, Mom.
