Ingredients:

12 Tablespoons butter, melted

1 (8 0z) package cream cheese, softened

1½ Tablespoons unflavored gelatin

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

6½ oz. pretzel sticks (about 4½ - 5 cups)

¼ teaspoon salt

3 lbs strawberries, fresh or frozen (if you're using frozen berries, defrost them first)

1 cup sugar

½ cup cold water

Equipment:

oven

food processor

baking pan

baking sheet

hand mixer

whisk

sieve

bowl

sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 13x9 inch baking pan with some of the melted butter.Pulse the pretzels and sugar in a food processor, about 15 pulses, until coarsely chopped. Pour in the melted butter and process for another 10 pulses, until the mixture is combined. There should still be small pieces of pretzel; don't obliterate the pretzels into crumbs.Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Cool for about 20 minutes.Meanwhile, using a whisk attachment on a standing mixer, or using a hand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese with the sugar.Gradually pour in the chilled heavy cream, increase the speed to high and whisk until there are soft peaks. (If you're nervous about this step and don't think that the heavy cream will thicken, mix the cream cheese and sugar and then whisk the heavy cream separately until soft peaks form and then fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. I've NEVER had any issues having the heavy cream whip up into a thick and voluminous texture if it's added to whipped cream cheese, so I always use this method.)Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust, and spread it out into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.While the cream cheese layer is chilling, puree 2 lbs of the strawberries in a food processor. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a large bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes, so that the gelatin softens.Slice the remaining pound of strawberries and set aside.Press the pureed berries through a fine mesh sieve. Pour the strained berries into a small saucepan, add the sugar and salt. Bring the berries to just about a boiling point, when bubbles start to break at the surface, about 5 minutes.Pour the hot strawberry mixture over the softened gelatin and whisk until all the gelatin is dissolved and evenly dispersed in the strawberry puree.Add the sliced berries to the pureed berries. Cool for about 30 minutes.Gently pour the strawberry mixture over the cheesecake layer and even it out into a smooth layer.Place in the refrigerator to set, about 4 hours. This is a wonderful recipe to make ahead of time, so take advantage of it and prepare it the night before you plan to serve it.

Food Joke

How To Deal with Telemarketers1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I`m so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died..."3. If they say they`re John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work, are they married?, kids?, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.4. Cry out in surprise,"Judy! Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from.5. Say "No", over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.6. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don`t have any friends... would you be my friend?"7. After the Telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.8. Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company, they often can`t sell to employees.9. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer, set the receiver down, shout or scream, "Oh No!" and then hang up.10. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her HOME phone number so you can call him/her back. When the Telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their HOME numbers you say "I guess you don`t want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The Telemarketer will agree and you say, "Me, either!" Hang up.11. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.12. Tell them it is dinner time, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.13. Tell the Telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you a pizza.14. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.15. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how`s your mom?"16. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up... louder... louder...louder...17. Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD down.
