Things I'm foolishly hoping to get done this weekend

[featherynscale]

1. Finish writing my bits for the Wild Hare Lammas ritual.
2. Bake something for said ritual.
3. Make something related to cheesecake for Gaia Lughnassadh potluck. Mmm...cheesecake.
4. Find or acquire a dress to base my costume around for DragonCon. We're going to be in the parade with the Wheel of Time group (is it cosplay if it isn't anime-based?) -- I'm apparently going to be an Aes Sedai. This implies that we should also solve the shawl issue at some point between now and Con.
5. Sleep.
6. Finish How Few Remain. I hope that George Custer gets what's coming to him for cheating on his wife while mocking the Mormons for being polygamists. Hypocrite.
7. Go to the library and get more books! Mmmm....books.
8. Interview prospective Gaia ritualists. cynthiaweb and druidevo, you'll be getting a call or an email for scheduling purposes Real Soon Now.
9. Make new icons. I really need one for "I disapprove" and one for "SQUEE!". Except that under no circumstances should I ever have an icon that actually says "SQUEE!". I'm so much more subtle than that. Heh.

Yep. If your oven heats unevenly, cheesecake is a challenge. Also, if it's not true to temperature and you don't know that :)

Also, you want to make sure that your springform pan closes nice and tight -- if it doesn't clamp well, you lose a lot more liquid, which can result in an overbake.

I can really miss the obvious sometimes...until I trip over it. Old oven= crap, uneven baking, hot spots, and tiny

New oven= right temp, tight seal, even baking...

And the d'uh light flickers on. I will have to budget some money towards cream cheese and try again.
