I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm rather quite famous in my circle of friends and family for my cheesecakes. Every year at Thanksgiving I am asked to provide my pumpkin cheesecake, which is a breath of fresh air to the traditional and sometimes boring pumpkin pie (although I LOVE me some pumpkin pie for breakfast). And every year, my husband requests a cheesecake for his birthday. Truth be told, it's actually been two years since I made him one. I was horribly ill on his birthday last year and couldn't bake anything at all, and the year before that he wanted a pirate birthday party, so I made my pirate cake. So it was about time I made him another one. I think it was over avocado margaritas with my cousin that the words "kahlua cheesecake" were uttered and Michael's eyes widened as he leaned over to me and whispered, "That's what I want for my birthday this year!" Okey dokey, honey. You want it? You got it!
