Memorial Day-Chandra's Golden-Glazed Lemon Cheesecake

Golden-Glazed Lemon cheesecake

Memorial Day was spent with my husband's side of our family at Brookside Park. 
It was a beautiful day with a huge variety of picnic food.  
I picked this dessert to share.  It tastes as delicious as it is beautiful.

I am with Chandra and her masterpiece.

This is the recipe and directions directly from the recipe Chandra used.

Memorial Day
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Over two dozen cities and towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it’s difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day.

Regardless of the exact date or location of its origins, one thing is clear – Memorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor our dead. It was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle.
