Peanut Butter Cheesecake

From a copy cat recipe for one that Cheesecake Factory makes.  I baked this to take to a pot luck dinner in the neighborhood.  Everyone assumed I had purchased it!  It was met with rave reviews from the 20 people attending.  Nice evening.

This week I finally got out some decorations, but we opted for the simple, and the "instant" tree again this year.  Just too much going on with unpacking boxes and messes to think of more hassle.  Mind you , I think Dec 7 is none too late to be setting up, but the world seems convinced that the day after Thanksgiving is the time, and it makes you feel behind!  I had to hail Nordstrom  this year for posting a sign outside their store that said they would honor one holiday at a time, and not decorate until after Thanksgiving, and would give their employees the day off.  This was the year the stores actually opened ON Thanksgiving day!!!  Started Black Friday on the  Thursday holiday!  And don't you know, they achieved record breaking numbers.  Next year they will probably start on Wednesday , and before you know it, they will start in October.  Groan.
