It's been one of those days...hotel plumbing problems, I'm losing followers again, I'm worried about my eye, concerns about a person I know. So let's bake.

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup sour cream, plain Greek yogurt or lowfat fromage frais

INGREDIENTS topping

1 cup berries, one kind or mixed (I used slightly more than a cup of a mixture of fresh raspberries + frozen blueberries) - frozen do not need to be thawed

1 tablespoon flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

combined, adding the vanilla with the second egg.

Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning & ending with dry, blending each addition just until well blended.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan & bake for 10 minutes.

Once the cake has been put into the oven, prepare the topping by combining the sugar, flour & cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl then toss in all the berries until evenly coated.

Once the cake has baked for the first 10 minutes, carefully pull the pan out of the oven and sprinkle the fruit topping all over the top of the cake, trying to evenly distribute the berries then sprinkling on any flour/sugar/cinnamon remaining in the bottom of the bowl.

👇
9/

Return the cake to the oven & bake for another 30 minutes or until the cake is slightly puffed, the center is set and a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove the cake to a cooling rack & allow to cool for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife

carefully around the edges to loosen the cake from the pan and invert onto a rack, remove the parchment then invert onto a serving platter so the berries are on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Enjoy!

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

under my parents’ healthcare which I had removed at a Florida hospital. I didn't give insurance or paying a medical bill a second thought.

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

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

👇
1/

cookie-like pastry. The crust is the focus here, the jam as a complement, like a big cookie. I normally weave my strips together to create a lattice top, but this dough is too fragile, so I just lay ½ the strips in one direction, then layer the remaining strips on top in

2/

the other direction. This dough is very fragile but it's also very forgiving: when it breaks, just patch & press together to fix. This is a great treat for snack or breakfast.

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:

"David Blis — 'Grandfather' of Jewish Cuban Settlement."
