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.
