Buttermilk Cheesecake

1 cup butter (at room temperature)
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
24 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
Grated zest of 2 lemons
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Set half the butter aside. Melt 3/4 of the remaining butter and use the 2 extra tablespoons to grease a 10-inch springform pan.

Combine cracker crumbs, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the melted butter in a bowl and mix thoroughly. The mixture will be in crumbs, not a dough. Dump it out into the prepared pan and press it into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides. Bake about 10 minutes or until light golden. Remove from oven and set aside.

Cream remaining butter, remaining 1 cup sugar and cream cheese with lemon zest in large bowl of electric mixer until smooth. Add buttermilk and vanilla extract and beat, occasionally scraping down the sides, until well mixed. Add eggs and beat slowly until just combined. Do not over-beat.

Pour the batter into the reserved crust and bake 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees F and bake an additional 25 minutes.

Reduce the heat to 200 degrees F and bake until done, approximately 20 minutes more or until cake is set around the edges and barely jiggly in the very center. Cool and chill several hours before serving.

Serves 10 to 12.

  Big Sky Cracked Wheat Bread (Two Pack)
  
  View This Product at Amazon
  
  Try this hearty, wholesome bread with the nutty taste of Montana cracked wheat.
  
  We laced this heritage bread with a finely cracked wheat to create a hearty, wholesome bread. Now, we realize that not everyone likes the kernels of cracked wheat in their bread--but we do and we think you will. Folks keep buying this again and again. You'll find that the long cycle on your bread machine softens the cracked wheat. The bread is still chewy but coupled with the right mixture of whole wheat and bread flours, this is an intriguing, premium bread.
  
  We used a finely milled flour made from choice Montana wheat. This is great flour--and the flour makes the bread. You'll like the sweet, nutty taste without the bitter aftertaste of some whole wheat breads.
  
  Each package contains two wholesome mixes. You will make two 1 1/2 pound loaves.
  
  Give this bread a try. Shannon did and she "couldn't get her husband to keep his hands off it."
  
  
  
  Wisconsin Buttermilk Powder (11 Ounces)
  
  View This Product at Amazon
  
  "Buttermilk, or cultured skim milk, is indispensible to the baker. It is used to give added tang to baked goods and as a leavening agent to make products rise more. Buttermilk is acidic and it reacts with baking soda, an alkaline, to create carbon dioxide bubbles in the batter and hence makes the batter lighter. Try this in your bread, scone, or muffin recipes. Use it as you would dry milk or mix with water--about 1/3 cup powder to make one cup liquid. This is a wonderful product for making your own buttermilk pancake mix and the same buttermilk that we use in our mixes. We have included the directions for this make-your-own pancake mix with each buttermilk package. This is the best, longest lasting buttermilk powder we could buy. We package it in one pound packages in heavy plastic (not mylar) for your convenience. If you are not going to use it within a year, we recommend that you store it in mylar or freeze it. "

  The Devil's Buttermilk
  
  View This Product at Amazon
  
  Preacher Boy stands at the crossroads of the blues, country, rock, and rockabilly, howling his tales into the void of human misery, folly, and (possible) redemption. Preacher Boy is Christopher Watkins, a one-man band of epic proportions, playing virtually everything--shy a few drums and keyboards-- on The Devil's Buttermilk, his fourth album. Indeed, "epic" may best describe Watkins collection of tales that blends the intimacy of a front-porch jam with themes of universal import. With a voice that sounds like he's been gargling gravel and an eclectic grab bag of music that draws on virtually everything with organic roots, Preacher Boy covers a remarkable amount of territory in 14 songs. Misfits, dead friends, brilliant barflies, preachers, lovers, and a whole panoply of losers all stumble, walk, and wail through his songs. Watkins adds mandolin, national steel guitar, accordion, harmonica, and other instruments to the usual collections of guitars, keyboards, and drums. "On and On It Goes" kicks off with a organ-fueled rocking beat before warping through changes that take it to the near operatic and back again--and that's only the first track. From there the journey goes through dusty blues, dark folk laments, country shuffles, the lovely, Leonard Cohen stylings of "This Morning," and a dash of Celtic before ending up somewhere near the local cocktail lounge with "It's Cold Tonight." One can only hope that the absurdly talented Preacher Boy gets a least some of the recognition he so richly deserves. --Carl Hanni
