I do enjoy baking a nice cheesecake.
I realise Swipey Boyce will regard this a further signs of quenderism, but meh.

Vanilla with an amaretti base, for preference, but lime on chocolate cookies works well too.

the only cheesecake i've ever managed to make that I was proud of
is the chocolate and tia maria one off bbcgoodfood. I've made several others but they all fail to convince, somehow. Most upsetting. If you have a favourite recipe though, gaz it me and I'll give it a whirl.

Will do
baked ones are tricky as they are like souffles, getting them to stay light is skill/massive fucking luck (delete as your arrogance takes you) ... but a bain marie (well, a deep roasting tin filled with water, let's be honest) makes a huge difference.

Well, yeah
since I'm being sarcastic and you know full well I'm not gay, I'm sure we do.

now hang about a bit
how do i know you're not gay? i've never slept with you. you could be a total botty mincer hiding behind your not remotely phallic shaped hockey stick and balls for all i know............

as I think we've clearly identified here recently
sleeping with you is hardly cast iron proof of heterosexuality anyway, is it?

I meant I don't believe for one second you actually think I'm a quender.

to be fair
none of the guys i've dated from here would do anything other than turn a girl gay. apart from the very first one, years ago. he was lovely.

and no. if i thought it for one second, it wouldn't amuse me to go on about it.

I'll just carry on acting like a total Barrymore, then, and keep you entertained.
