The Island Girl scored some Bette Davis movies at the Flea Market this a.m., so we decided to make a day of it. She wanted to see how I put the cheese cake together, so that is what we did this afternoon….then we watched Deception (not one of Bette’s better movies, IMO, she was rather chubby!), with Now, Voyager co-stars Claude Rains and Paul Henreid (my favorites).
Funniest thing, though. In the ritzy restaurant scene, the wine was served in beautiful cut crystal stemmed wine glasses…that are exactly the same as my mother was given as a wedding gift in 1943! I stopped the DVD, walked over to the china cabinet, hauled out a glass, and handed it to the Island Girl. We had a good giggle over that!
Oh…and here’s what’s left of our afternoon’s work….after we each had a small piece, and I sent her home with a big one, and the forever hungry Blonde Mom had a pass at it. Recipe/instructions here.
Deliciousness
Bon Appetit!

Had such a good time…always do! BG forgot to also mention that we made homemade vanilla ice cream along with the cheesecake! Got to lick the beaters too! Watching and having “hands-on” instruction always makes it easier to see how the perfect cheesecake is done…Thanks BG…Yes, there they were…the wine glasses…in the movie…OMG..and, I do believe I have the salt and pepper shakers that were on the table from my grandmother…How funny is that…Such treasures we have!!! Next up we are trying our hands at an Hawaiian & Asian infused pork butt with very interesting ingredients….Stay tune
