30 years of Cheese

The Cheesecake Factory Serves Up a Delicious 30th Anniversary Celebration!


Celebrating “30 Delicious Years,” The Cheesecake Factory is serving up several sweet initiatives throughout 2008. To kick-off the anniversary celebration and in commemoration of National Cheesecake Day on July 30th, 2008, The Cheesecake Factory restaurants will offer every delicious slice of its more than 30 varieties of cheesecake with a dollop of nostalgia by featuring all cheesecakes at $1.50 per slice, limit one per guest, dine in only, on that day—as they were when the restaurant first opened in 1978. In addition, a special, limited edition cheesecake, the 30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake, will be introduced on July 30th with $0.25 from the sale of each slice sold this year benefiting the national hunger-relief organization, America’s Second Harvest – The Nation’s Food Bank Network. Additional activities will be announced throughout the year.

Greece is the word!

July 18th. My birthday. I am 30. I had a wonderful day. It started with a dentist appointment, but don't worry. It got much better. I spent the day part of my day with my beautiful neice Anah. It was her birthday. She is 8. We went and saw a movie and did a little shopping. I then met up with my sisters and mother and drove off for a night out with the girls, which is ALWAYS tons of fun. We went up to Southcenter and had a meal and most importantly dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. Because of all the wonderous choices we decided to each get a different kind and then share. After much deliberation over the heavenly menu we decided the following;

ADAM'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP FUDGE RIPPLE Creamy Cheesecake Swirled with Caramel, Peanut Butter, Butterfingers® and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups®

CHOCOLATE TUXEDO CREAMTM CHEESECAKE Layers of our Fudge Cake, Chocolate Cheesecake, Vanilla Mascarpone Mousse and Chocolate

COCONUT CHOCOLATE CREAM Coconut Cheesecake with Chunks of Chocolate, Topped with Layers of Coconut Custard and Whipped Cream all on top of a Chocolate Macaroon Crust

KAHLUA COCOA COFFEE CHEESECAKE Layers of Rich Brownie, Kahlua Cheesecake, Creamy Chocolate Mousse and Chocolate Ganache

It was marvelous delite. We had a lovely time over our meal and even had K-Fed as our waiter. He was quite spectacular it's true.

After we had filled our bodies with blissfulls of yumminess we headed over to the GRAND OPENING of the SouthCenter movie house. It was GINORMOUS and GRAND. We watched Mamma Mia on its opening night. It was such a fun movie and that brings me to the point of my post. The scenery in the movie was so beautiful. I REALLY want to visit Greece.

There are couple movies to check out to get the Greece going bug.
