New York Cheesecakes

My favorite cake is cheesecake, heck - my favorite food is cheesecake.

I remember the cheesecake my grandma used to make, she would never tell us how she made it. The most prized piece was the center piece. I never understood why, I guess it is a family thing. Actually - I never even figured out why there needs to be a center piece. Hmm.

I went on a quest for the best cheesecake, I compared David's with this Junior's Cheesecake from the famous Cookie Outlet. The cookie outlet forced me to use 2nd day air, which was more expensive than David's shipping - which was a little annoying.

Its a tough call, and I'm going to have to say it is a very close tie! I'm going to have to try this again, with a panel of judges, I can't do this again alone.

Can you beat the Italians' cookies

Italians make the best cookies! you can't beat them at that, Italian Cookies rule. There's nothing like a good old Biscotti to go with your morning coffee (which should also be Italian). And the only thing that could, maybe, beat that is an Italian Rainbow Cookie.

I've been buying all my cookies from the CookieOutlet in the past few years, I think my next project (or at least the next cookie related one) will be to decide which of the following three not so followed Italians is the best: the Lemon Fan, the Cherry Jelly Cookie, or the Candy Top, which is a little known chocolate cookie covered with round rainbow sprinkles. Yum!

What do you think? I'd love to get some comments on more less-famous Italian delights.
