Using your fingertips, combine all the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until the mixture is well combined & has a crumbly consistency. Set aside. I put the bowl of streusel in the refrigerator while I prepare the cake batter so the

butter doesn’t soften; the firmer the streusel crumbs the easier to distribute over the batter.

Prepare the cake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease (with butter) a 9-inch (23-cm) square pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar & butter together

with an electric mixer until fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, then the vanilla.

In a separate small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder & salt.

Add this to the sugar & butter alternately with the buttermilk, beating well after each addition just until blended.

Fold in the blueberries just until evenly distributed.

Pour the cake batter into the pan, spread evenly out to the edges/corners.

Top the batter with the streusel, distributing it evenly across the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Healthcare thread.

When I was 24, I found a lump in my breast. I went for consultation at the Breast Clinic at a famous hospital. The biopsy revealed a malignant tumor that had to be removed immediately.

This was the second lump I’d found, the first when I was 20 and still

But this time I was on my own. This second lump was different and had me scared.

This time, the doctor gave me the results of the tests

and told me “unfortunately, this hospital will not admit you. They will refuse to do the surgery here because you are uninsured (I not only lived paycheck to paycheck, but wasn’t given nor could I afford healthcare insurance).” He then gave me the address of a small private

This is your weekend baking project :

Crostata di Marmellata - Italian Jam Tart

Everyone will bake one then share your photos.

#IsolationBaking

I learned to make this simple, homey, rustic tart when I lived in Italy using this delicate buttery pasta frolla sweet

Use your favorite jam or jams.

I can't believe this. As I dive back into my genealogy I just decided on a whim to try & discover a bit about a family cousin who supposedly was a huge influence on the Jewish community in Cuba. Last time I looked there was nothing. I now just found this:

THIS is what Twitter is all about.

Thousands coming together to tell the wildest, most amazing stories of ancestors.

So here are a couple of mine...

👇
My great-grandpa Kalman was a wealthy miller in the small town of Zeludok. He owned a flour mill & a schnapps distillery. He would travel from town to town to bring the grains & mill the flour for them. He had the reputation of being rather a Lothario.

After a long, childless
marriage, his first wife passed away. During one of his trips to the town my great-grandma Tsivia lived in with her family, he spotted her and, taken by her beauty asked to marry her. He was 32 years her senior. She agreed, seeing a wealthy man as her way out & up.
