STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE…A Delectable Cake for Tea or Dessert
“Laughter is brightest where food is best.” Irish Proverb STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE This recipe is adapted from one of the first baking sites I used to browse many many moons ago…the ‘Joy of Baking‘.

GINGER IN MANY AVATARS…Diversity is the ‘Spice of Life’!
“Had I but a penny in the world, thou shouldst have it for gingerbread.” William Shakespeare (1564-1616) GINGER GINGER EVERYWHERE…& a pile of it here!Time again for the monthly ‘Think Spice’ at Sunita’s World & it’s GINGER this time.

GINGER LEMONGRASS COOLER…I found the idea while browsing…
