Heh. I really don't want flavorings in my cream cheese, I'll put
my own in there if I want it. As far as the price, I don't have cream
cheese all that often, maybe 4 bricks a year, so I just grab one now
and then for a dollar. It's not worth worrying about in my case.
I don't think I'd pay the 2 something you mentioned, though.

So, here's the thing. Your post is timely for me. I bought 2
packages at Thanksgiving and didn't wind up using them. I
wanted to make cream cheese pies, the kind with sour cream
topping. Anyone have a favorite recipe for something like that?
A graham cracker crust type of thing?
