Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
My
posts for the link up will go live on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT or, if
you live in the future like I do, on Fridays at 3:30 a.m. CE(S)T.
Last week I re-read one of my children's books for an upcoming blog post.
One day, the hero goes to a kermesse and one of his friends asks him to bring back "Streuselkuchen" (crumb cake) and "Kolatschen" (kolaches).
My brain jumped on that right away and let me know that it would not be averse to having either. Too bad that the bakery near me has neither, but at least I quickly ran down memory lane. The first time I consciously had "Streuselkuchen" (although I'm sure I had already had it at home) was in elementary school. In the "big break" a baker came to the school to sell rolls, pretzels, etc., but also what we call "sweet pieces" (sweet pastries), and once I had enough money to buy a "Streusel" as we called it for short. Such a special treat at the time.
The other memory was from when I was a library trainee and had a month of internship at the local government's archives. On the way there was a baker's hut in the pedestrian zone and they had "Kolatschen" with prune jam. They were so good! Every morning I hurried to get myself one for the day. I haven't seen kolaches in ages, such a pity!
Do you have a memory regarding a special cake or "sweet piece"?

So, are you ready for the weekend? How about baking some kolaches and sending me a few? 😉
As part of the reboot, we will be featuring a different blog every week.
How about stopping by and saying hello? Let them know we sent you.
This week our spotlight is on HoneyBears & SydneyBeans.
Kristin from HoneyBears & SydneyBeans says "I'm Kristin! I am a Mom to a 15 year old, HoneyBear & a 11 year old, SydneyBean. I am married to a supportive & amazing man who love me despite my crazy gene! ... I am learning to live without my Mom, who passed in 2013 and the ups and downs of being pretty newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I love cooking, reading, crafts, and things beautiful. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and I go by she/her pronouns. I enjoy politics, music, pop culture and sports. As a family we love to explore, adventure and learn about what we can do to love and care for our community!"
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household - The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Cat from Cat's Wire has what she calls a jumping spider brain. She has many interests and will blog about whatever catches her attention - crafts, books, old movies, collectibles or random things.
Rena from Fine Whatever Blog writes about style, midlife, and the "fine whatever" moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she's been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
Here are some of my picks from last week's link up.
I could really eat one or two of Donna's Valentine's Day cookies now, they look yummy.
Lisa is celebrating the "Thin Man" classic movie series kicking it off with this post about the first movie with William Powell, Myrna Loy, and of course "Asta" the dog.
Barbara's ostkaka looks very tempting, I'll have to keep that one in mind.
Erin tells us about wintering and kittens! KITTENS!
