etumukutenyakMade a cream cheese and sour cream pie, with blueberry topping. Yumster! Voted delicious by 5 out of 5 people.

Cream Cheese Pie
Crust (I usually just buy a graham cracker or chocolate ready-made pie crust):
¼ cup melted butter
1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbs sugar
Bake 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Filling:
12 ounces cream cheese (1 and ½ boxes)
2 eggs
¾ cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp lemon juice
Combine and beat until frothy. Pour into crust and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.
Topping:
1 cup sour cream
3 ½ Tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Remove pie from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Then pour topping over pie and bake for another 10+ minutes (I bake it longer, until I see a small crack appear on top. Sometimes takes 25-30 minutes).
Refrigerate. Top with your favorite fruit.
And on the home front, we have a new deck in the back..er, side yard. Even though it feels like the back yard, it's technically a side yard, which is why we get away with the closeness of the neighbors. So, the new deck went up yesterday; it was put up by a crew of professionals who took 12 hours to do it. The dog is still unsure of this new stairs thing in his way; coming in involves too much walking up steps, and too many steps at that. So he barks like a baby. A baby dog, to be sure.
Will post pics of new lovely deck when we get them.
Off to hide Eostre/Easter eggs for the young man.

Date: 2006-04-16 01:56 pm (UTC)After many years of living outside the US, combined with working on holidays, I've gradually let go of all the observances. It's just another working day for me (especially since I am on call this weekend)..but there's chocolate stashed around the house now. Which makes this a better day, suddenly.
The family are off to church, and after that they'll be on the road to Mom/Grandma's for Easter Dinner. If I can get finished with rounds in time, I'll drive up for a quick bite to eat and then come home. Otherwise, I'll have a quiet holiday at home, nibbling on random pieces of dark chocolate. Decisions, decisions. :-)
