Tomorrow I'll be participating in the Zoom call #AmericansAbroadForHarrisWalz with @DemsAbroad & @DemsAbroadFR and so thought I would share my story about why I left the US for Europe when Ronald Reagan was re-elected.
This is a long story so buckle up...

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.

Let’s do this! This is a long one but it has to be said: as you go into the voting booth or fill out your ballot, it’s worth noting that TRUMP’s and the GOP policies aren’t and never have been constructive. They’re completely DESTRUCTIVE. They have or plan to: 1/

Ready to bake ? Chocolate espresso pecan torte...
My favorite Passover cake so good I make it year round. Make it with all-purpose or gluten-free flour for everyday.
👇 1/
Surprisingly moist yet feather light, this torte is oh-so chocolate with the perfect balance of pecan - without the bitterness of walnuts, less pronounced flavor than almonds. And a warm hint of coffee.
Let's go then!

Yes, I have a podcast! Stir Crazy with Jamie Schler is a unique podcast that comes out in 2 segments for each guest (follow the thread):
1. The audio podcast (we talk about food, family, traditions, travel, and my guest's career & current topics)
podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/sti…2. The video segment on our YouTube channel where you can watch me bake or cook with each of my guests (some are experienced home cooks or bakers, some not so much...):
I’m no fan of pears at all but this tart is really so very good… and the crust is so tender and delicious.
Follow the thread for the recipe and please share!
👇 1)
This is a very butter-rich pie crust and can be difficult and fussy to work with so give the dough time to chill and firm up in the refrigerator before attempting to roll it out and making the tart.

I promised you cake so I'm giving you cake!
Orange Cake with Orange Brown Sugar Glaze (and Marmalade Whipped Cream for those of you with my cookbook Orange Appeal)
I developed the recipe for this excellent cake for Fine Cooking Magazine....
Follow the thread 👇 1/
A surprisingly flavorful cake, light & airy, almost muffin-like in consistency, the orange cake is excellent for breakfast or snack. But brush on the glaze & pile on
the marmalade whipped cream, and you have an impressive dessert.
An excellent Chocolate Chip Streusel Coffee Cake recipe for the equally excellent @IAmJohnAles
Quick, easy, marvelous. The best coffee cake you'll ever eat; I've been making this for a very, very long time.
Light & fluffy cake, not too sweet, a crunchy streusel topping.
👇
Mine is studded with mini chocolate chips & chopped pecans or walnuts.
But you can change it up by adding or replacing chips & nuts with flaked coconut, slivered almonds, or fresh cranberries. Or just leave the streusel topping as is, by itself
Ready?
