The thread called "name this sweet" got me googling and I found a
recipe I just had to play with.

Here's the cake before it was topped:

And after:

I didn't exactly follow the recipe for the toppings but it came out
pretty nice. I'll be cutting into it later tonight.

Here's the recipe link:

That’s the trouble with cheesecake, Lou. You either have to make a
complete pig of yourself or share. Note, however, that baked cheesecakes
usually freezes very successfully. Wrap each slice individually in plastic
wrap, freeze, then overwrap in foil.

I've frozen it with ok results but I don't mind sharing and it gives
us a good reason to go visit friends. I made it Sunday at the cottage
and took the form off and washed and lightly buttered it and re-formed
it and traveled 110 miles with it. Another 15 miles won't hurt it.

It could only be in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is the only province where
you can go from Climax to Success in under 3 hours. You can you jump on
highway 4 to Swift Current, or go up through Shaunavon, jump on the
Transcanada to just outside Swift Current then on to Success.

Actually, there are many ways to get there. And to Sodom and Gomorrah...

I don't know about interesting. It's very flat in that part of the
country, the only accidents of terrain being ravines and eroded riverbeds.

Saskatchewan was the bulwark of the CCF(FLS) (Co-operative Commonwealth
Federation (Farmer-Labour-Socialist)), which eventually became the NDP in
1961, and formed the first left of centre government in North America in
1944 under Tommy Douglas.

Tommy Douglas was voted the Greatest Canadian in one of those televised
marathon national blowjobs the English feel obliged to give themselves
every now and then to reassure themselves that they can watch Three's
Company and/or Sixty Minutes and still be different from the US.

The reason he was voted as the Greatest Canadian is because his government
introduced a plan for universal health care in Canada in 1944, which was
eventually phased in for the whole country by the federal government
through a series of acts starting in 1957 and on through to 1984 (Liberal
government).

Coincidentally, an ancestor of mine invented comprehensive medical
insurance back in the 17th century in Montréal. He was a barber (and
therefore a surgeon) and for the modest sum of 100 deniers per family (or 8
sols, 4 deniers), he would perform all the arrow removals, broken bone
resetting and blood-lettings they needed during the year.

Probably depends on how many stiches you need afterwards.

Unfortunately, that part of his bidness was not original and therefore
merits no mention anywhere.

At the time, that would be very expensive, the 2 sols 6 deniers coin (being
the equivalent of 30 deniers) which was later reused from a half-crown (in
1857) to serve as a 25 cent piece. Its 30 pence piece (the pre-
revolutionary French and the English until 1971 used virtually the same
duodecimal and vingitesimal monetary system) was called "un trente sous" (a
thirty cent piece). The moniker was reused to refer to a 25 cent piece in
Québec as in "T'as tsi in trente sous?" (Godda quodder?) and it can still
be heard every now and then.

one thing i always wanted to do (but was too lazy) was hang out by the
subway station and ask people if they have a quarter. when they'd say
'no,' i'd say well 'here, have one' and give them one of mine.

LOL, wish I'd had the nerve to try that too! The 30 pence coin was
called "half a crown" in Britain, as Koko said, and sometimes a "half
dollar", dating from the long time when there were about 4 USD to the
GBP. It was also called "two and six" and written 2/6.
