Well, it depends on whether that cheesecake is in a shop, a supermarket, a fancy restaurant…or in my refrigerator. In the case of the latter we are talking a lifespan of a maximum of one hour. Once it is set and ready to serve that is…
In my house we rarely eat takeaways, I cook every meal every night from scratch – always have done – and is definitely the reason why all my kids have turned out to be good eaters and not fussy, finicky pickers. I wouldn’t tolerate that from a child of mine – I don’t do ‘menu’s’ and I don’t cook several different meals at a time to cater to choosy kids. I only do a microwave meal on the very rare occasion and as a treat we have fish and chips or a pizza around once a fortnight. I just like to know what goes into my family’s mouths – I’ve nothing against a takeaway meal but in my opinion those women who feed their kids on nothing else are just plain lazy.
Because I do so much cooking in the course of a week I take shortcuts when it comes to sweets and puddings; the kids like their desserts so tubs of ice-cream and things like frozen strudels live in my freezer. Yesterday I decided to make my own cheesecake – a baked strawberry affair which turned out to be divine. I thought I had it well hidden in the fridge but just before serving I could see a phantom finger had found it’s way into the top, crazily I was hoping for a slice leftover to have with my mid-morning cuppa today…in your dreams Mum!
