-Quais de Siene-

François: You have beautiful hair, why do you have to cover it up?
Zarka: I don’t have to. I choose to.
François: Too bad cause you’re so pretty.
Zarka: You mean I’m not beautiful without my hijab?
François: That’s not what I meant.
Zarka: You and your friends don’t know shit about women. Why talk to them like that when you can see they don’t like it? If I want to look beautiful I do it for me. When I wear this I feel part of a faith, an identity. I feel good. That’s what beauty is. Tell that to your friends then maybe one day, they might even get laid.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
• 6 tbsp. butter, melted
• 24 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 1 tbsp. vanilla
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
For the crust, crumble the sandwich cookies into a food processor or blender.  Grind into fine crumbs.  In a medium bowl, combine cookie crumbs and melted butter.  Mix well with a fork.  Spoon the mixture into a 10-inch springform pan.  Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, pat the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan.  Freeze prepared crust 15-30 minutes while preparing cheesecake filling.

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°.  Blend cream cheese and sugar 3 minutes on medium-high speed.  Turn mixer down to lowest speed; add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.  Scrape sides of bowl.  Add whipping cream and vanilla; beat on medium-high for 3 minutes.  Pour ¾ of the cream cheese filling into crust.  Sprinkle chocolate chips over batter, then pour remaining cream cheese filling over chips.

Bake cheesecake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 325°.  Turn off oven; leave cake in oven with door closed for 1 ½ hours.  Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.
