The other day I was rummaging through my kitchen looking for a nice cocktail to make. I found some bourbon, apple juice and ginger ale. I don’t know about you but it sounded like a good time to me. I combined the ingredients and made a cocktail. It had a nice little zip from the…

The other day, Dana and I were watching TV and it suddenly hit me. I have never made cheesecake on the website. I had to remedy the situation immediately. So I went to the store and picked up the ingredients. I then noticed that I did not have a spring form pan and was unable…
