I've been so busy during past few weeks and I could not keep up with the blogging.  There got a couple of posts including Halloween post for my little ones but I could not locate it anymore after all these days have been passed. 

Holiday is right around the corner but being so busy and tiredness makes me not in the holiday mood.  Usually I'm so ready for the holiday around this time, :P

However, Thanksgiving is in the air and a series of Thanksgiving potluck are convincing me to get to the holiday mood. 

I made my favorite Cheese Cake for one of the potlucks at work today.  Oh, joy of baking!  It was the most successful cheese cake I've ever made.  So, I want to share a couple of tips for successful cheese cake from my experience:

1) Use the water bath while baking.  It really helps with not making the cake stick to the pan.
2) Follow the exact temperature the recipe is called for.  If you want to go over, don't go over a minute or two.  It really helps. 
3) Chill it over night or at least 10 hours. Another tip for not getting the cake stick to the pan.
4) And last, my Sharper Image brand new pan really helps I think.  I was putting back and forth before I pulled the trigger for it but I'm glad that I decided to get it.  It's such a keeper.  The shiny unique non-stick coating on it really helps with not making the cake stick to the pan.  Yahoo!

All in all, it was strawberrilicious and cheesylicious I guess.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
