The Story of the Not-So-Amazing Cheesecake

Once upon a time, Jason had a slice of really good cheesecake that was out of this world. Chiara's friend Allison had made it and it was simply divine! So Jason thought that he too should have a wife that could bake amazing, heavenly cheesecake. So Chiara got the recipe from Allison, borrowed her spring pan and began to make the cheesecake that Jason so loved. But alas, it was doomed from the start. She didn't fully crush the graham crackers and didn't mix all the ingredients well enough. She must have put the spring pan together wrong because the mixture began leaking when she put it in the pan. Smoke, sizzling and  sloshing of ingredients were some of the elements of Chiara's cooking experience. She took the cheesecake out from the oven a few times to assess the problem, which is a big no-no when baking a cheesecake! So 6 hours later, a cheesecake emerged, but not of celestial quality like the one Chiara and Jason had tried. It was lumpy, the texture was off and it had a nice smoky flavor. Behold! A mediocre, not-so-amazing cheesecake was made!
