Today is National Cheesecake Day. Cheesecake is a dessert consisting of pie crust and cheese filling (although sometimes it is made without crust). Despite its name, cheesecake isn’t actually a cake; it may or may not be baked. The base can be made from pastry, sponge cake, graham crackers, or crushed cookies. The cheese filling typically consists of soft cheese (usually cream cheese), sugar, and eggs. Cheesecake is often flavored. It comes in many flavors such as strawberry, key like, pumpkin, chestnut, toffee etc. Cheesecakes are sometimes topped with whipped cream, fresh or canned fruit, chocolate syrup, fruit sauce, nuts. There are several major cheesecake varieties in North America. For instance, New York style cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert that contains sour cream or heavy cream. Philadelphia style cheesecake is richer in flavor and lighter in texture. Other cheesecake types include Pennsylvania Dutch style cheesecake, farmer cheese cheesecake, country style cheesecake, and Chicago style cheesecake. Germans use Quark and a freshly made pastry as the base for their version of the cake. In Brazil, on the other hand, cheesecake is served with a thin layer of guava jelly or marmalade. Although the origins of the day are sketchy, historians say that cheesecake can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. Its thought that the ancient Greek cheesecake was somewhat different to the type we consume today, but the modern day cheesecake can actually be attributed to the English.

Happy Friday!! 😀 Ever heard of CHOCOLATE GRAVY?! Source | Huntsville Blast Chocolate gravy might sound weird🤪 if you’re not from North Alabama, but this delicious Southern Delight has a unique connection to this area. Chocolate🍫 gravy is exactly what it sounds like: a milk gravy sweetened with cocoa powder to achieve a chocolatey taste. Once you have it ready, you spoon it over your fluffy, homemade buttermilk biscuits for a taste like no other it’s popular across the Tennessee Valley all the way up to the Ozarks🏔. While the exact origins of chocolate 🍫gravy are unknown, historians and chefs theorize the dish was created through trade that connected Spanish Louisiana and the Tennessee Valley. They speculate that traditional Mexican🪅 breakfast chocolate paired well with the Southern sweet-tooth and love for biscuits. And thus, the legendary and ever so weird cuisine known as chocolate gravy was born! LET'S MAKE HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE GRAVY; Ingredients: 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 2 cups milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Instructions: 🔹In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour + sugar until well combined. 🔹Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and there are no lumps. 🔹Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 5-7 minutes. 🔹Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. 🔹Serve the chocolate gravy warm over biscuits, pancakes, waffles, or any other desired breakfast item. #deancommercialrealestate #realestate #commercialrealestate #commercialinvestors #investors #propertyinvestors #officespacee #retailspace #medicaloffices #warehouses #huntsvillealabama #madisonalabama #decaturalabama #athensalabama

Watermelon topped with tasty flavored dried Fish and fried Shallots is a delightful balance of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. Fresh, juicy watermelon cubes serve as the base, bringing natural sweetness and a refreshing bite. These are topped with savory dried fish, often seasoned, or spiced to bring out a bold umami contrast. Crispy fried shallots are scattered on top, adding crunch and a layer of sweetness with subtle bitterness. A hint of chopped mint or cilantro can add freshness and complexity. The result is a layered bite that pairs beautifully, especially in warm weather, as a refreshing appetizer or light snack. For pairing with watermelon topped with dried fish and fried shallots, a crisp white wine or light rosé would complement the sweet, salty, and savory layers nicely. PB Khao Yai Reserve Chenin Blanc is an excellent choice as its crisp acidity balances the sweetness of the watermelon while highlighting the umami of the dried fish. The floral notes of the Chenin Blanc also pair well with the aromatic shallots, creating a refreshing, harmonious pairing. Alternatively, PB Khao Yai Shiraz Rosé would add a touch of berry fruitiness that complements the dish's freshness without overpowering it.
