Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[Baymule]

Randy and Tom made the trek to town today. I decided to make a Butter Brickle Carmel Pecan cheesecake as we haven’t had one for years.
I ALWAYS have several bricks of cream cheese on hand because I use it a lot.
I got the graham crackers crushed yp and the crust made and was going to get the filling made while the first round of dishes dried…to see I have NO cream cheese. I’m in shock

They were almost back home by the time I found out.

So I had to make a farmer’s cheese to substitute as I didn’t have heavy cream, I don’t have any cultured buttermilk or rennet so I can’t make decent cream cheese.
Curds are draining for the night and pinto beans are soaking for canning in the morning.
Nothing’s easy!

No 10 minute run to the grocery store for you! For me, town is 30 minutes, and people think I live in the middle of nowhere!

I lucked out! The cowboy’s wife across the way had a brick and met me on the driveway this morning!

Would you be willing to share the recipe. I told my husband about it and I'm pretty sure he would like me to make one for him...lol It sounds so delicious.

Aldi's, Walmart, and Food Lion are less than two miles away from my home, here...
