Yesterday was the national day for the all-time favorite cheesecake. If you live near a Cheesecake Factory, they will be selling slices of cheesecake for 1/2 price July 30 - 31 in honor of this great day.

According to Cheesecake.com, "There is evidence that it was served to athletes during the first Olympian Games in 776 B.C. (Before Christ). It has been said that Greek brides and grooms were also known to use cheesecake as wedding cake." Supposedly, American's accidentally added cream cheese to the recipe somewhere around 1872.
