Really liked your intro. Best of luck this season. Totally with you on the dessert and musicals, btw.

[geniusinmaine]

Thank you! What's your favorite dessert?

Just took an insane amount of time looking up this recipe because it's delicious and you totally should make it sometime:

Raspberry Cream Cheese Dessert
(my great-grandma used to make this. So good.)

Crust -
3 cups crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup melted butter.
-Mix and pat into bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes.

Mix -
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 (8 oz container) of Cool Whip
-Mix and pour over cooled crust.

In saucepan -
1 (3 oz) *raspberry Jell-O
1/2 cup sugar - dash salt
1/2 cup water
-Mix

In separate container -
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons cornstarch
-Mix and dissolve

-Add cornstarch mixture to saucepan. Cook until thick. Add 4 cups *raspberries. Pour over top of cream cheese layer (or wait until cool and mix with cream cheese mixture, then pour over crust). Refrigerate or freeze.

*Strawberries can be substituted.

So...guessing by your choice of baseball team, I'm guessing you're a Bruins fan, hockey-wise?

[geniusinmaine]

I do still cheer for them and keep up with the scores and players, though I don't follow them as closely as I used to.

Also, any time you want to swap baking and dessert recipes, I'm game. :)

[geniusinmaine]

Sounds good to me.

Nice to meet you. I take it from your username that you're a Mainiac. I moved away 6 years ago, but it's still home to me.

I hope that you have better luck this year.

[geniusinmaine]

Thank you, and yes, I am.
