My Thoughts On Deluxe Cheesecake:



I have always enjoyed cheesecake. I enjoy store-bought cheesecake but homemade is the best. I like whipped topping with my cheesecake, as this recipe suggests. Cheesecake is a perfect replacement for a regular birthday cake.



Extra Information For You:



A Brief History of Cheesecake



Cheesecake is one of the oldest desserts in the world. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Greece around the 5th century BC. The earliest cheesecakes were simple, made with fresh cheese, honey, and flour, baked on an earthenware griddle.



The Romans adopted this delectable treat and added their own twist by incorporating eggs and crushed cheese. They even experimented with serving cheesecake in pastry crusts, a precursor to modern cheesecake.



During the Middle Ages, cheesecake evolved further, with the addition of spices and fruits. The English introduced variations with custard-like fillings and pastry bases.



The cheesecake we know today, with its creamy texture and graham cracker crust, is largely an American invention. The development of cream cheese in the late 19th century revolutionized cheesecake making, leading to the rich and indulgent dessert we enjoy today.

I recently created an account on Threads, a Facebook company. It is similar to Twitter (X) and is growing in popularity among social media platforms. I follow food-related accounts and found this funny food meme.



This meme is adorable and made me smile. I enjoy blogging recipes and cooking. Cake and pie is my favorite. I try to stay in shape and sugar is a big weakness for me. It is hard to say no to a great cake. When the cheap store-bought birthday cake is brought into the breakroom at work I find myself saying "Happy Birthday!" as I stuff the cake in my face.



It is easy for me to indulge in sweets of any kind. It's my choice. I think this food meme is funny because it illustrates a child raising hands toward heaven in a proclamation of giving carbohydrates to the Lord. I think it is about taking personal responsibility and the human ability to use a crutch. It creates humor out of human weaknesses. I am not trying to sound "preachy" or get too deep. I understand the humor in it.



It is a funny meme because we all have enjoyed a good dessert. I say enjoy life to the fullest but I try to enjoy it in moderation and wisdom. Now I shall go enjoy a dessert since it is Sunday. The carbs belong to the Lord!

More Information For You:



A Brief History of Crescents



While the crescent-shaped pastry we know today is often associated with French cuisine, its origins can be traced back further.



The Kipferl: Austrian Precursor



The earliest form of the crescent-shaped pastry is believed to be the Austrian kipferl. This crescent-shaped bread roll, made with yeasted wheat dough, has been enjoyed in Central Europe since at least the 13th century.



The French Connection



The croissant, as we know it, is a French adaptation of the kipferl. It is said that the croissant's distinctive flaky texture emerged in the early 19th century when Austrian bakers brought their recipes to Paris. The French perfected the use of puff pastry, giving birth to the croissant we savor today.



The Crescent Symbolism



Interestingly, the crescent shape itself holds symbolic significance in various cultures, often associated with the moon. This symbolism may have subconsciously influenced the popularity of crescent-shaped pastries.



In essence, while the modern croissant is a French culinary masterpiece, its roots extend to Austria and beyond, making it a delightful blend of cultures and culinary traditions.

A Brief History of Cornbread



Cornbread is a staple in American cuisine, but its roots run deep into the history of the Americas.



  • Native American Origins: Corn, or maize, was domesticated in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. Native Americans developed various ways to prepare corn, including grinding it into a meal and forming it into bread. These early versions of cornbread were simple, consisting primarily of cornmeal, water, and salt.
  • Colonial Adaptation: When European settlers arrived in North America, they adopted corn as a staple crop. Cornbread became a common food in the Southern colonies, particularly due to the challenges of growing wheat in the hot, humid climate.
  • African Influence: The culinary traditions of enslaved Africans also contributed to the evolution of cornbread. Dishes like hushpuppies and cornbread dressing reflect these influences.
  • Regional Variations: Over time, cornbread developed regional variations. Southern cornbread is often sweet and moist, while cornbread from other parts of the country may be drier and more savory.



Today, cornbread remains a beloved comfort food enjoyed by people across the United States. Its history is a testament to the diverse culinary traditions that have shaped American cuisine.

My Thoughts On Cornbread:



My earliest memory of cornbread is how my grandmother liked to make and eat leftover cornbread. She would bake cornbread in a skillet and sometimes there would be uneaten cornbread the next day. When she went for a snack she would cut the leftover cornbread and crumble it into a glass. She would fill the glass with milk to cover the cornbread and then eat it with a spoon like cereal.



The first time I saw her do that I was a little confused. I wondered how it could taste good. She invited me to try it. After trying crumbled leftover cornbread in a glass with milk, I was sold. Since that time I have developed a lactose issue but I still eat leftover cornbread the way my grandmother taught me, except I use almond milk now.
