My Elopement couple is in and waiting for the second room to arrive (they DID call to say they had been caught in traffic- told them to get supper on the way in).
When the second room booked, I let them know we had a wedding happening Saturday - so they are aware. When making the reservation, the woman tells me her birthday is Monday and asks if I make cheesecake. I told her that was above my pay grade. Suggested a bakery in the area - do not know if they make them or not (and I really did not search). Last night I saw a post on FB for a ricotta cheesecake that was supposed to be "light". I printed it off and decided to try it. I was hoping it would be like a cheesecake I used to get in Columbus at a restaurant out on Broadway (way east) called Eli's. When I tried to take the family there, it was gone. In 1968-69 I actually paid $1.25 for a slice of it, even going so far as to drive from Grove City (for EN) to get it. That was a LOT of money for me then.
I made 2 small pans of it. Disappointing but I think I may try again and next time I will whip the ricotta. This one is a little grainy - has vanilla wafer crust lemon cheesecake. Well, I tried. Still trying to decide if I am going to give it to them or not. May put a candle in it Sunday morning to show I tried.
