Shavuot - I want to convert

Thanks to TK I have learned about a holiday on the Jewish calendar, Shavuot. To celebrate this holiday, you eat cheesecake. OH MY!!!! Why haven't I heard of this holiday until now? And where can I sign up!

Why eat dairy? According to Wikipedia, this is why:

Dairy foods such as cheesecake, mushroom-filled blintzes and cheese-filled blintzes are traditionally served on Shavuot. One explanation for the consumption of dairy foods on this holiday is that the Israelites had not yet received the Torah, with its laws of shechita (ritual slaughtering of animals). As the food they had prepared beforehand was not in accordance with these laws, they opted to eat simple dairy meals to honor the holiday. Some say it harks back to King Solomon's portrayal of the Torah as "honey and milk are under your tongue" (Song of Songs 4:11).

TK was sweet enough to bring me a piece from her celebration with a chocolate cookie crust. Creamy, rich and delicious!!!! What a way to kick off a three day weekend!
