I just went to the grocery store to buy five tubs of cream cheese to make two cheesecakes for a party on Wednesday. It turns out philadelphia cream cheese is on sale but there's not a single tub on the shelf. Of course not. No cream cheese.

It made me think: Oh Bulgaria.

Thanks for reminding me that I am living in Bulgaria.

And, Hum. Cheesecake. You're going to be difficult aren't you!?

So now I am looking up some recipes that don't require as much cream cheese--maybe I'll make a <a href="http://www.bakingandbooks.com/2009/04/09/honey-ricotta-cheesecake-with-almond-crust-plus-7-tips-for-perfect-cheesecake/">honey ricotta cheesecake</a>. Or maybe just maybe Hit, Kaufland and/or Billa will have cream cheese tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Or if all goes horribly wrong and all of my well laid plans are foiled, maybe just maybe I'll be making <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/01/lemon-bars/">lemon squares</a> instead. No cream cheese required. Just lots of lemon.
