Actually, I wasn't looking for a recipe so much, as attempting to determine 
the tolerances of its construction. I've always loved cheesecake, but never 
made one until the other day. Having realized how simple it basicly is, I 
need to figure out how much STUPH I can add to it and still have it set up. 
Since I'll be making two today, one to experiment, and one for Margali to 
take to work Saturday, I'll let you know how the experiment turns out.

My intention is more savory than sweet- it will be a chocolatl chip 
cheesecake. Adamantius said that I could add a cup and a half to 2 cups of 
STUPH, and still have it set up, and since I'm going to be pushing that limit 
(and have a pretty large springform pan to use) I think I'll add an extra egg.

HAH!!! That's 9 eggs used up!!!!

The substitute mail carrier, btw, was rather bewildered the other day when 
she opened the mailbox and discovered the dozen eggs I'd left and flagged for 
our regular mail carrier ;-)
