Growing up, probably because some member of my extended family really loved it, we always had cheesecake at the dessert table for holidays. My mom was always the queen of turning out the pies (the traditional apple and pumpkin and usually some wild card), and I’m not sure who was responsible for the cheesecake. For a little while I think it was my cousin’s girlfriend at the time. She also taught me how to fold sheets- I hope by now she’s found someone who appreciates her organized bed linens and killer cake.
