    As I have mentioned before the area of Central Illinos in which I live
    is known as "Tornado Alley" I've been around many of them. And the end result looks like pixtures I've seen of war zones.

    I remember when I lived in Carbondale in an old rundown trailer and
    there was a tornado warning. It terrified my and my then-wife.

    I was a little concerned the last time we had tornadoes hit here. They criss-crossed town. I was living in a red-neck ranch at the time and
    trailer courts are well known trailer magnets. Didn't drop a twig off
    any of the trees where I had my home.

    I was at work at the time the first one hit and the fron t windows were
    bowing in and out - so we all stayed well back from them. That storm
    picked up car batteries from the Mr. Battery location and durians in the
    husk from the Asian Foods store next door and deposited them over a mile
    away (for some). I dunno which would have been worse - getting hit with
    a Group 78 battery or the lethally spiky durian. Oy, vey ist mir!

    Title: Durian Cheesecake
    Categories: Fruit, Dairy, Cheese, Pastry
    Yield: 8 Servings

    340 g (12 oz) cream cheese; room
    - temp
    200 ml Condensed sweetened milk
    4 tb Pureed durian
    2 lg Eggs
    120 ml (2 fl oz) soured cream
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 tb Durian or banana extract
    1 (23cm/9") prepared digestive
    - biscuit base

    Set oven @ 1706C/340°F/Gas 3.

    If not using tinned or frozen durian puree, cut into
    husk of a durian fruit and remove one segment of the
    pulpy inner flesh. Place in a bowl and use a fork to
    mash the flesh, reserving 4 tablespoons to add to the
    cheesecake mixture.

    Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the condensed
    milk and continue beating until smooth. Beat in 4
    tablespoons durian, eggs, soured cream, vanilla extract
    and durian or banana extract. Spoon the mixture over the
    prepared digestive biscuit base.

    Bake 1 hour or until filling is set and edges are
    lightly browned. Serve warm or chill overnight in the
    refrigerator.

    INGREDIENT NOTE: Durian, a large fruit from Southeast
    Asia, has a dark green to brown husk studded with
    prickly thorns concealing pale yellow to red flesh. Some
    find durian's strong odor offensive, but the reward is
    its creamy flesh with a nutty, slightly sweet taste.

    I visited Jarrell, Texas after an EF5 tornado blew through. Looks like
    someone just stomped the town out of existance.
