Sphere: Pineapple Cheesecake

Pineapple Cheesecake + Sour Cream Topping
The Programmed Potluck

Sphere Magazine, October 1973

"Our hostess wears our elegant Greek-design embroidered apron to serve the creamy Pineapple Cheesecake dessert. You can make your own apron by ordering instructions through the coupon offer on page 65. Additional photos of the apron appear on pages 18-19."

I think the apron was cuter in the artsy photo shoot. At a regular old dinner party, it makes you look like a preschool teacher or the caterer. 

I've never heard of cottage cheese used in a cheesecake before, aside from German quark ("In Germany, quark and cottage cheese are considered to be different types of fresh cheese")

I'm not much of an apron person, but that is some quality embroidery! Design: Virginia Bath. Embroidery: Sylvia Roe Bath

This breathtaking photo was shot by Jerry Salvati. Doesn't it make you swoon ?

Greek-Style Bread

My poor bread maker has been neglected and ignored for one year. I dusted it off last night, scrubbed the bread pan and insides clean, etc. Then I made this delicious loaf of bread:

Greek-Style Bread
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil [I used olive oil]
1 tsp salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups crumbled feta cheese, drained and patted dry is necessary
1/4 cup sliced pitted black olives, drained [I left these out. We're not an olive family]
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp bread machine yeast

Add ingredients to bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer,
adding cheese and olives with flour.

Recommended cycle: basic/white bread cycle: medium/normal colour setting.
