Everyone is now asking me what i want for my birthday, there’s this strange pressure that because it’s a milestone birthday, you have to have something lavish, people say “you’re only 50 once you know!” but you’re also only 49 once too! and the truth is, i dont know, i haven’t got the foggiest idea of what I want.
To be honest id be happy with a couple of bottles of rum, maybe a bottle of red wine, and the obligatory things you’d buy your dad on father’s day, things like socks, pants and some Lynx toiletries!!
It’s just another birthday.
Edit: i was mainly referring to the presents that some people want to buy me, rather than things to actually do. I’m having the usual birthday bash, so don’t go thinking I’ll be moping around the house!!
Umm, in England!
I Googled Graham cracker crust, apparently the closest thing in the UK is Mcvities digestive biscuits, which is what i use, but it’s not baked, just broken into tiny crumbs, mix in melted butter, place mixture in a tin compact it, place in the fridge then add the filling.
But then that’s for a plain cheesecake base, i like being creative, chocolate digestive biscuits, Biscoff biscuits are very nice.
Do you not then bake the crust and filling or is it all just done it the fridge? I’d love to have your recipe!
Congratulations on the milestone!
No baking involved, the filling is just…
600g full fat soft cheese. 100g icing sugar. 284ml pot of double cream.
Plus any other bits you fancy, like flakes of chocolate, or grated lemon peel.
I presume you are a fan of cheesecake?
