This recipe has been floating around my family for as long as I can remember. It often gets pulled out at christmas and birthday get togethers. I recently learned to make it and was amazed at how easy it was. Next time I make it’ll take a photo and post it, but for now, here’s how you do it:

You will need:

1/2 lb. plain sweet biscuits
4 oz. butter
1 dessert spoon gelatine
1/3 cup hot water
8 oz packaged cream cheese e.g. philladelphia
14. oz can condensed milk
15 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 dessert spoon grated lemon rind
1/3 cup lemon juice.

To make the crust:

Crush sweet biscuits until crumbs and combine with melted butter, mix well. Press the mixture over the base and around the sides of an 8 inch springform pan. Refridgerate until firm.

To make the cheesecake filling:
Mix gelatine with hot water and place in fridge to cool. Beat cream cheese until soft and smooth, add condensed milk and beat well. Add well-drained pineapple, lemon rind, lemon juice and cooled gelatine and mix thoroughly. Spoon the mixture into a prepared crumb crust. Refridgerate until firm.

Decorate with pineapple rings and whipped cream before serving.

Delete a Message Stuck in the Outbox – Microsoft Outlook

Ever had that problem where you’re trying to send a message in Microsoft Outlook and it gets stuck in the outbox? You’ve tried deleting it but it gives you the message that the message is in the process of being sent so you can’t delete it? And any other emails you try and send get stuck in the queue behind the message that won’t move? The reason the email got stuck in the first place is usually because it’s too large for your server to process. If you google the solution to this you’ll find a long list of really complicated ways of trying to remove the message, often involving having to add new PST files and who wants to do that? I have two easier solutions for you.

Solution 1:

Go to file –> work offline to put outlook into offline mode.

Go get a cup of coffee/tea.

Come back, close outlook.

Re-open outlook and try and delete the file.

Solution 2:

Go to your outbox.

Right-click on the file and click “move file to another folder.” and move it somewhere else, say drafts.

Go to drafts, delete the file.
