From the Ebony Magazine website:
Sweet Potato Cheesecake
Monday, November 19th, 2007
2 cups Vanilla Wafers crumbs (1/2 pound cookies crushed)
1/3 cup melted butter or margarine
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs, lightly beatened
1 15-ounce can sweet potatoes, drained and puréed
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups sour cream, at room temperature
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 1/2- or 10-inch spring-form pan and coat lightly with flour. Toss Vanilla Wafers crumbs with the melted butter until evenly moistened in medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture into bottom and extend 1 inch up the side of prepared pan. Bake for about 12 minutes. Let the crust cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Beat the cream cheese until smooth in mixer bowl with electric mixer. Beat in 3/4 cup sugar and brown sugar, then beat in the eggs, in 3 additions until the mixture is thoroughly combined; scraping down the side of bowl occasionally.
Combine puréed sweet potatoes, heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and the cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice until well-blended in another medium bowl. Add sweet potato mixture to cream cheese mixture and beat until combined. Wrap foil loosely around the bottom and up the side of the spring-form pan. Pour the batter into prepared pan and set it in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Place in the middle of the oven and pour 1 inch of hot water into the baking dish. Bake the cheesecake for about 70 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center of the cheesecake is still slightly shaky.
Combine the sour cream, with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and pour the sour cream topping on to cheesecake. Spread topping evenly and continue baking for 10 minutes. Transfer the cheesecake to rack and let cool for 1 hour. Remove the foil and refrigerate the cheesecake at least 4 hours, or overnight. If you desire, remove the cheesecake from the bottom of the pan by sliding a metal spatula under the crust to loosen it completely, then use 2 large spatulas to transfer the cake to a serving plate.

It is impossible to know exactly when a certain sort of pie originated, because home cooks have always experimented with foods they have on hand. That cook would share her recipes - written or oral - with her family and friends, and the dish would spread through the community. Decades or centuries might pass before that particular pie recipe became published in a periodical or cookbook.

Pi, as in the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter (3.14159, to five decimal places) doesn't end, or if it does, we haven't found the end of it yet. It's been tracked to over a trillion places.
Pi has been known of and used well before recorded history. In ancient times Pi was believed in, rather than known as a fact. When I first learned this I thought it was the most startling mathematical fact I'd ever heard. I still do.
You can learn more about this fascinating constant, Pi, in many books and websites; the link below is a good start.

Why is cottage pie called cottage pie?
Shepherd's pie describes a pie made with minced lamb or mutton topped with mashed potato and baked. The term originated in the late nineteenth century.
It is a version of cottage pie, which is made from minced beef topped with potato; that term goes back to the eighteenth century.
The dates these names were introduced to English by no means indicates this was when the dish was first cooked; these types of pie would've been cooked long before that, but these were the first recorded instances of the names found to date.
The explanation for the different terms is that shepherd's pie is so named because it contains lamb and therefore would have been cooked by shepherds. This is probably not true. The term cottage pie is thought to have arisen because the combination of minced (ground) leftover meat and potatoes, which were cheap, might have been attractive to rural peasants who lived in cottages, as poor people did back then.
Today, both terms are used for any dish made with a layer of meat topped with mashed potato and baked.
Pizza is in fact a type of pie! That's why in Italy, they say "Pizza pie" instead of plain "Pizza".
Think about it! Pizza format might have changed dramaticly, but it still has the CRUST, like pies do. Then, instead of a DESERTY mixture in the crust, there is a CHEESE AND SAUCE (sometimes toppings) mixture in the crust.
