| Notes: |
|
2013-10-24: This time we got the pan correct. The crust was 3/4 cup graham crackers and 1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts. We put the pan on a cookie sheet and wrapped the base of the pan with foil to catch spills, but that wasn't necessary
2013-10-23: Our first try! Well, we bought a springform pan. Let's just say that there is a right-side-up and an up-side-down to the ring on a spring-form-pan!
