Streuselkuchen

What a beautiful morning it was in eastern SD.

De boom jlistre enn de sonn.

The trees glisten in the sun.

The view outside and the smell inside could not make for a better start to the day.

Streuselkuchen was baked this AM.

(Streusel Cake)

I use a basic Zwieback recipe from my Aunt Ella Berg Tieszen,

 topped with condensed milk and crumb topping.

Sliced up bits of heaven...

Jo! The Amazing Race on CBS is one of my favorite television shows.  

Favorite episodes include the cowboy brothers Jet and Cord.

In the youtube video below you will see Jet eating a piece of Kuchen 

at the Onces y Cabanas Bellavista in Chile 

*(take note he is pronouncing Kuchen wrong)*

GMR's started emigrating to Chile in 1848

My Gravy!  LOL, that expression cracks me up every time;)

I can tell you what KUCHEN is

KUCHEN pronounced as COOK-N and it means cake and or a pie like pastry.

My favorite varieties are cherry and Poppyseed, YUMMY!
