At this moment I have an Amaretto cheesecake in the oven.

I've been told it's to die for. I can feel my arteries
clogging just smelling it bake.
Last winter I made one for a benefit we were having at the
club and since then one person has approached (and paid) me
to make one for any excuse. The Club is having a Rib contest
this weekend and ......
I mentioned this to my dentists receptionist, she asked me
if I would make her a New York (Philly recipe, 2 1/2 pounds
of cheese) and got all excited when I said I would. Seems
she's having a reunion or something ....
Question is, when did cheesecake become a summer thing? Has
it always been a summer thing? Seems to me you wouldn't want
to drop something this heavy in your belly on a hot day.
Wife says it's not that much different than ice cream. I
think there's not many ice creams this thick, rich and dense.
It's only been in the last year or so that I've been making
this kind of stuff so maybe I wasn't paying close enough
attention and missed something?
I know cheesecake goes straight to a woman's heart any time
of year, but still? In the summer?
