Cheesecake
Heather and I both have very refined tastes when it comes to cheesecake. I, for the most part, do not prefer cheesecake. Why, you ask? It's a dessert that is made from CHEESE. Come now, people. Why stray from basics like chocolate, milk, flour? Why stray into a completely different food group that has nothing to do with carb and just reminds me of France? Honestly.
Therefore, I will only eat cheesecake if it is covered in some sort of gooey sugary substance that resembles frosting or syrup. This usually means fake strawberry sauce studded with real frozen strawberry halves. Mmm. A Cheese-based dessert has suddenly been transformed into an edible delicacy.
Heather will only eat cheesecake plain. Why, you ask? Because she HATE HATE HATES the fake strawberry sauce. I still love her, though, because I'm just THAT good of a person.
This posed a problem once when we decided that instead of going to class (it was a five-minute walk away and we were standing in front of food) we should eat cheesecake instead. I think I agreed to this because the alternative was going to class since I will normally turn down cheesecake (my favorite thing at the Cheesecake Factory--the baskets of bread they just keep bringing. Its amazing.).
We wander over to look in the glass case to choose our piece of cheesecake (we have to split everything because we're too poor to buy two, seriously). There, laying side by side in the glass case are two cheesecakes. One is plain and one is fake-strawberry. Immediately, I remembered Heather's aversion to the fake strawberries. But, Heather wasn't going to eat cheesecake if I didn't eat any and since I really didn't want to disappoint her, I suggested we get cheesecake with fake strawberries ON THE SIDE. Unfortunately, the high-class eatery we were visiting didn't have on the side strawberries because they buy these cheesecakes frozen. From the grocery store.
We then came to the conclusion that the easiest possible solution was to get the strawberry cheesecake and just remove the strawberries from half of the cheesecake because I love Heather THAT MUCH. Four knives, two forks, and three plates later, we failed. Amazingly enough, we still managed to finish the cheesecake.
Now, recently, I overheard two girls in passing, discussing either fast food or cheesecake. I'm not sure which because this is what I heard:
"But have you ever tried Jack in the Box cheesecake?!?!?! Its amazing..."
Jack in the Crack sells cheesecake? Does anyone else have a problem with this?

You're such a martyr.
Why do many utensils? Wouldn't one, okay, two forks do?
Good point, Sal Pal. The vile fake strawberry goop gets all over everything, so we had to keep retiring knives due to strawberry goop contamination.If we had just gotten the plain cheesecake, we could have been more eco-friendly with the utensils.
"I like to mate after battle."
screw the eco-friendly...spoons, large spoons would have prevented the fake strawbetty goop from contaminating your virgin cheesecake. Next time, call me first!
okay - after a live cell chat, I have conceded the struggle on the freakin' cheese cake affair. As I understand it (nowwwwwwww..) the lovely ladies had a roariously good laugh with the cheesecake which also sealed their loyalty to one another as friends!
You know what I say? Next time, try chocolate cake!
