Operation Teamwork Cheesecake

One plus of life in our country is that I can make a cheesecake for less than $5.00. It is a fun special treat dessert that we like to share with friends. I was motivated to bake a cheesecake when I found some frozen strawberries in syrup (a first ever find) at our little foreign store.

This is how many matches it took to light my oven. The oven is fine, it's the matches that are pathetic!

These were my helpers, because in our family we never do anything alone. Elli was in the sling and Ethan was "reading" me the recipe, which almost always says "half a cup of milk."

My oven does not have a temperature gauge, so I use this inserted one and the sharpie markings on my dial to get the approximate temperatures. It's a little trickier with cheesecake.

The cheesecake turned out great. I meant to get a picture of it before we shared it with our friends, but things just got too rushed. I shared it with a local friend who really loved it. It's fun for me to find new foreign recipes I can serve to local visitors!
