Q:I made this back in the early 80s, and it was the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's made with 8 packages of cream cheese, a dozen eggs, and uses a pastry crust. It's baked in a large springform tube pan. I've been unable to find the recipe again. Does anyone have this recipe?I have found recipes that are 'close', but I really want to get that original...

Wow, i cant even imagine a cheesecake using 8 packages of creamcheese, that'd be huge! It seems like better homes and gardens changed their recipe for cheesecake supreme over the years because their current version is nothing like you describe: Cheesecake Supreme Ingredients * 1-1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers * 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts * 1 tablespoon sugar * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) * 1/2 cup butter, melted * 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened * 1 cup sugar * 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon vanilla * 1/4 cup milk * 3 eggs, slightly beaten * 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel (optional) * 1 recipe Raspberry Sauce (optional) Directions 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. For crust, in a bowl combine crushed graham crackers, walnuts, the 1 tablespoon sugar, and, if desired, the cinnamon. Stir in melted butter. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan; set aside. 2. For filling, in a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, the 1 cup sugar, the flour, and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in milk until smooth. Stir in eggs and, if desired, lemon peel. 3. Pour filling into crust-lined pan. Place the pan in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes for the 8-inch pan, 35 to 40 minutes for the 9-inch pan, or until a 2-1/2-inch area around the outside edge appears set when gently shaken. 4. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, loosen the crust from sides of pan; cool for 30 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan; cool cheesecake completely on rack. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. If desired, serve with Raspberry Sauce.

A sanitation tool so as to dig a long drop toilet in emergencies. A fencing tool so as to put in fence posts so as to identify boundaries around your property.

Q:I am doing a traveling boutique featuring children's and a few womens clothing and accessories some of which I make and some I buy. What I am trying to figure out is my sales are pretty good at the shows I've done so far but I was hoping to get outside of my friends to hold shows and have not been successful in booking new shows. What kind of incentives should I do? I offered a tiered plan based on sales some free some discounted based on $ volumn. Should I make something that is for hosts only? Any advise related to this would be helpful. Is it okay to ask the host to help? Keep in mind that I do not do a presentation--it is an open house for a couple of hours and set up like a boutique in someones living room.

Offer host only benefits, such as a discount, and a precentage of the sales (to go towards their own purchase). For instance, if the party earns $200, and you offer a 10% bonus, then the hostess gets $20 to use towards her own purchase. Offer benefits such as a discount for bringing a friend, a further discount to the hostess if she has 2 more people book parties, etc. You might want to get a catalouge printed up professionally, though, and allow outside sales, or book parties.

Q:I'm moving into my first home ever in March. I'm trying to avoid department stores, since they tend to be WAY out of my price range. I would love new furniture, but I can find any that's not extremely expensive. So I searched Craigslist , etc. and had no luck. I need a couch to start off, and a dining table.

Q:I plan on buying some flowers for my garden that are already grown (i can't germinate seeds for the life of me :( ). Would it be benefical to take these plants out of the plastic trays they come in and transfer them to peat pots and then plant them in my garden? I'm new at this, and my soil quality it very poor, so i'm trying to find the best method. Thanks :)

I agree, transferring young plants from the plastic tray pots to a peat pot is a waste of money and actually delays its growth. I have tried container gardening, but the results are disappointing with low yield. Your money is put to better use in buying inexpensive soil amendments to mix into the top soil. If you plant tomatoes and have clay soil, then I dig a hole about 15 in diameter and a foot and a half deep, put some granular plant food at the bottom and cover it with 2-3 inches of good soil. Then I bury the plant and start back-filling the hole with 50% native clay and 50% redwood soil conditioner/amendments (cheap, I bought a 3 cu.ft. bag for $6.99 at a local Home Depot Garden Center.) Initially the plants did not even come to the top of the hole, but I kept adding soil mix as they grew. 3 years ago I had a bumper crop of Beefstake tomatoes. One plant yielded 75 pounds of fruit, including the green ones I harvested at New Year's Eve (no frost to that date) and put in a box covered with newspaper to ripen them. Even those late harvest fruit tasted not much worse than the ones I've bought at Safeway for $2.50 a pound.

Q:What are the main points i should remember when i design a home garden on my own?

I hope you mean flower garden...because vegetable gardens are another story altogether. First, find plants good for your hardiness zone. If they aren't hardy in your area, they won' t survive the first winter. Second, find plants that are appropriate for the amount of sunlight you get in the area you're planting. Full sun plants will not thrive if they only get one hour of direct sunlight a day. Shade plants may get leaf burn in full sun. Third, select plants which will mature to the size you want in each area. Don't pick plants based on the size when you purchase them. If so, they will become overgrown and look bad. Fourth, choose colors that go well together and complement each other. Fifth, choose some evergreen, some perennial, and some annuals. Evergreens keep their leaves all year. Perennials die off in the fall but come back every year. Annuals last only one season and usually are planted to give a large amount of seasonal color--things like petunias and impatiens. For vegetable gardens, it's important to improve your soil, make sure the garden gets plenty of sunlight (most vegetables need full sun), keep out the critters who think it's a salad bar, keep out the bugs who will destroy your plants, plant at the right time, and choose plants and space them appropriately. I also recommend composting your yard and kitchen waste so that you have a free source of soil improver for next year. Gardening is really satisfying once you get going. Good luck to you!
