Carmel Fire ~ Shirts ~ Dennis Richardson ~ Brown Rice/Tuna/Veggies ~ Jalapeño Cheese Cake


Good 58º clear sunny morning. Another day yesterday of 103º. Supposed to cool off slightly today.

Yesterday in anticipation of the heat I did some early laundry and vacuuming. Stayed in from the heat and since it was pay day, I played with my checking account! Whoopppeeeeee...............

Later for dinner I decided on a brown rice combo ... a can of tuna, artichoke bottoms, olives, black beans, pimentos, and of course some chopped celery and fresh tomatoes.


First the rice was cooked in the rice cooker.
Next the tuna, beans, olives, artichoke bottoms, pimentos were all drained. Next olive oil in frying pan and all of that added in along with celery and tomatoes.
 
After sauteéing awhile in went the rice and then ricotta cheese.

 Mixed well and heated through. OMGOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!

 
 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

National Cheesecake Day

 
As food holidays go, this is one of the tastiest of treats.
 
Here is a super tasty cheesecake I made some time back.

And.... instead of the traditional cheesecake I made it with the new Philly Jalapeño Cream Cheese...
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCk8T1hgPmKmiJW4zS5O9LMMOHHwprsE_5eXryjFz7ShICbXLSEHM6t6mcaMMr_k30pww56k-rQBtGAfalljAuEqBcPJuGGvalFwUoiXCeYEfpAlxn1fTrCEig7_O06FR1sPneBIsPsmM/s1600/cheesecakeMA29248787-0004.jpg
 
This recipe for 6 mini cheesecakes: 
Make the crust with graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup + 3 T sugar + 3 T melted butter. Mix well and press into bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes at 325º. (You will have leftover crumbs.)

Then in electric mixer put 2 tubs of the Jalapeño cream cheese with 1 t. lemon extract (instead of vanilla), and 1/2 cup sugar...mix well. Then add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream), mixing well.... and then add 2 eggs, mixing well. Spoon into crusts and bake for 45 minutes at 325º.

OMGOOD!!!! Spicy, so for those of you with delicate palates, don't make it for you...but make if for the person in the house who likes SPICE!

LOL Daryl's shirt was a bit fancier that that one but same message. He rocked it and everyone loved it. He was even asked by many the next day to wear it again so they could get a photo with him. Sadly the day after that was when he was called to come home as Becky was in labor.

That shirt you bought is a hoot!

I think I would love the jalapeno cheesecake! Not right now though because my tongue is just now healing from from eating pineapple. :(

I couldn't find one just like Daryl's, T. I think you would love the jalapeno cheesecake too! At least you can make a small batch in the muffin tins and even freeze some for later. xo

Electing Arnold Gov turned out to be a wasted opportunity, unless one thinks the California slide to one-party Democrat rule is a good thing.

Small cheesecakes make a wonderful presentation for both party or keeping around in the freezer for us small families or suprise guests. Thinking Mexican mole'- I wonder how a dark chocolate crust would work with jalapeno version cheesecake?

Lisa Kudrow has a wondeful sister. Beautiful, kind, humble and with a greatful heart. Where she goes is nicer for her presence.
