I took pictures of the cheesecake making process, you can see them starting <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/notmartha/2266882467/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I ended up buying the meat from Whole Foods, I asked about getting a roast that was about a pound and a half and it ended up being a $37 piece of meat! But, it was totally worth it.

Thanks for mentioning the alternate crust, I decided to do a Famous Wafer crust instead of graham since Scott LOVES Famous Wafers. Sara - Thanks for the warning, light and smooth is ok by me.

I've always wanted to purchase a chocolate cake in a pink box, but that really has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Thanks for the ideas!
