How much Cheese do I need to add to my Cheesecake?

I've looked at many recipes online, but none of them mention any kind of cheese in the Ingredients list. I really want to impress my friends by making the original cheesecake, not those fake vegan alternatives that are popular today. How much and what kind of cheese would I need to do this?

Based on this recipe how much is 1 serving?

I'm embarrassingly bad at math so food recipes can be difficult for me. I am also trying to log my food to lose weight so I want to get the precise measurements down.

I am cooking this oatmeal recipe below. It says it is for 8 servings but I cannot figure out how much is 1 serving: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xo_dwGMm19k/XcG_jH2O7YI/AAAAAAAAE08/xFlfms7yqLcEItLLPP4TkIt6IOnVpykfACK8BGAsYHg/s0/2019-11-05.jpg

Based on the oatmeal instructions 1 serving is 1/4 cup uncooked: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0063/4686/6803/products/81BNaFHiklL_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=1550315101

But 8 servings / .25 (or 1/4 cup) is 32 or 8/25 ?! I don't even know what that means. I just want to know how many cups COOKED is 1 serving.

Ugh, life is hard for an idiot...

Trying to Make Farmer's Mash

Hey Guys. I am trying to make Farmer's mash. A dish that is kinda like dirty Rice, but with more beans and tomatoes in it. It is very good for people who are need-based cookers, just make lots of it and eat it because ingredients are easy to find. So far, I have been using a tomato sauce, chopped onions, ground beef and black beans in a skillet, then dumping it over white rice. I want a bit more freshness to it. I don't want to add cheese. I thought raw cilantro or green onions would work, what do you think would be good?

Ceviche Chicken Update.

I tried it. I used 50/50 mix if Sprite and Mountain Dew. I let It "cook" for 48 hours. It tasted pretty good. Anyway, I just got my bill from my ICU stay for some weird stomach bug I had. 39k! Luckily I got to eat my ceviche chicken before I got that "salamander sickness" or whatever the doctors were talking about. Anyway, 10/10 would recommend.

If I use cannabutter when making a peppercorn sauce for my rib-eyes, how high are the stakes?

Also, canna use half a standard canna cannabutter?

What if I add some more vodka to vodka pasta sauce, and eat it with pasta?

What if I add some more vodka to vodka pasta sauce, and eat it with pasta?

Would it be gross?

Would it be intoxicating?

I know this is r/ShittyAskCooking, but as with my previous question here, I am actually considering doing this.

Anyone with experience cooking black eyed peas?

For some reason Will.I.Am is coming out really chewy. Last year Fergie was excellent but I’m struggling this year.

If I’m cooking a steak for two hours at 200, and the Amtrak leaves Central station at noon, why does my polenta taste like cheese?

I’ve tried everything, but the polenta I made still tastes like cheese! I’ve added nothing except cheese, butter, salt, and pepper, but still it is yellow and cheesy. How fix?

How do you switch on a chicken?

Title says it all really. I need to know how to switch on a chicken. Does my laptop need to be plugged in to the mains for it to work? Is there any way around this if so? I lost my laptop charger and can't see any other way to plug it in other than via a standard USB.

Follow up question: can a fully powered chicken be used to charge a laptop?
