more about the cheesecake....

ever since
i decided
to make cheesecake
i've been having these wild ideas

the first to come to me
almost instantly:
smoked almonds

what???!!

no, wait

it came to me in a flash
rather than graham cracker, or whatever
though
maybe not only smoked almonds
that might be too salty
the trick
i think
would be to find
unsalted
(or very lightly salted)

and
brie
not all brie
just enough
and honey

it took me a while to decide honey
because
believe it or not
i considered
for a long long time
the possibility of a savoury cheesecake
like as the main course
with like a wheat pilaf

and i'm definite about the wheat
have to do the wheat

but
you know
cheesecake is meant to be sweet
and the milk and honey thing
that's just right
maybe marble the brie and honey in

and
for some reason
maybe i just want salty
but i'm thinking about quiche with olives and feta
which would be good with the pilaf
but
hello
green vegetable much

but
i have a strong feeling
for fresh figs

maybe in some sort of salad

that might be too much going on at once

can you tell
i really enjoy this
