You made me laugh. Now I am an "old" trusty pan! LOL I get what you are saying though. I guess most people aren't happy with what they have until they no longer have it. Which is sad really because they might never get it back again and the cheesecake just wont be as good...
That is funny you used the spring form pan as an analogy. I make cheesecake a lot. Well I used to make them a lot. Trying to watch my weight now. Maybe I'll make one this weekend with my old trusty pan...
