Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When I was a young teenager in California I worked for a time as a "mother's helper" for a Jewish woman. Besides my duties to care for her two year old son I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen after her frequent entertaining of guests. She served much more "exotic" meals than I was used to. This was my introduction to Cheese Cake -- I loved it from the start. Getting some of her recipes proved to be better pay for my efforts than the generous (for that time) 35 cents an hour I made working for her. I'll spare you her recipe for "chopped chicken liver patee."
