In my persistent attempt to attract a certain ginger and "homeless" cat to come to our house, I had a recent breakthrough. I found it sleeping, very relaxed on our front porch. However, it still has a strictly no touching policy and I can show you the marks on my hands to prove it. But I am working on it, someday it will happen, I know it.
Well, Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust. Do I need to say more ? I am trying new recipes and this will definitely make the short list.
