Condensed milk, cream cheese

Christmas 2013 with mango from the tree
The craving for sweet continued. I had a block of cream cheese to make tiramisu, but that was too complicated, so I found this recipe for no bake cheesecake.

Ingredients

For base 
1 packet Digestive or , oat crunch, or chocolate chip, biscuits (7oz or so?)
2 oz butter for 4oz biscuits
(1oz sugar optional)

For filling 
1 tin condensed milk
1 8oz pack cream cheese (and a little extra if you have )
1/3 cup lemon juice
1tablespoon grated lemon rind

1. Make the base. Crumb the bistcuits. Melt the butter and mix with the crumbs (and sugar and even put some oats if you want to feel healthy). Press the mixture onto the bottom of 6inch bowl or container. Make more mixture if you want some for the sides.

2. Make the filling. Beat the cream cheese, and slowly beat in the condensed milk. Add the lemon juice and rind and beat until the mixture is smooth. Careful how you put your fingers to scoop out the remainder of the condensed tin. Do not try to put your tongue in the tin, you could get nasty cuts.


3. Pour the filling on the base, and put in the fridge to set, or I put in the freezer since it did not set in the fridge. It gets to the texture of a pudding.

Enjoy.. i made this Friday and finished by Sunday, stomach feels a bit weird but it is not much to eat over three days.

    This is much easier than the kheer.. and with the kheer you got six or seven condensed milk tins to scoop out

    this recipe is very easy and quick, just have to wait for it to set

Turpentine mango madness

Image
Some of the mango was stuck on the stubble around my mouth. I looked at the mirror, a bit of shame because I had just collected an invitation from a well dressed guy and I wonder how I must have looked to him.. look at dis big man .. he cyan eat mango good . Thing is.. wiping off mango from stubble is difficult.. and the casual swipe with a hand which might have some juice is also useless. The turpentine mango is useless when it is green - it tastes awful, like turpentine.  Mother Nature works a miracle because the ripe one though, is sweet, juicy, no strings and no turpentine taste. And the colours on the skins are bright yellow/orange/pink/purple/red shades that are probably meant to draw all species of mango lovers. The trouble with turpentine is that you cannot pick it green or 'turnin' ' to ripen like say how they do it with Spice mangoes.  You have to leave on the tree until there is some point.. when there is no taste of turpentine. So you look at the m

Re-writing Irfaan Ali's disgraceful statement after accepting his comrade's resignation

  (President Irfaan Ali made a Facebook post in which he accepted the resignation of his comrade Nigel Dharmlall from the Cabinet and the Party. This is an imaginary rewriting of that statement) Fellow Guyanese, as you’re aware, I am in Trinidad and Tobago attending the 45th session of the Heads of Government meeting of CARICOM and the 50th anniversary of CARICOM.  Tonight I want to address you in relation to the allegation that was made multiple allegations of rape and sexual violence which have been made against Minister Nigel Dharamlall.  From the inception, I advised the population that I would allow the system to work.   I would never and the government would never intervene in the system. We’ve allowed an independent investigation; the minister proceeded on leave to ensure that an independent investigation was conducted. I recognise that many survivors of rape and other forms of gender-based violence do not trust the system to work because it has failed many times.  I ad
