"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
NOTE: Not absolutely necessary, but to help keep your cake from cracking, and help give it a more creamy texture, wrap spring form pan with foil to make it water tight, then place filled pan into a larger pan. Pour water into the outer pan about half-way up the side of the cheesecake pan.
