I used this word a lot when I first learned it, sort of as a pun -- if you used it, you were it. But it never worked, not enough people knew what it meant.

My dad's mom taught my mom how to make streuselkuchen, and I second Annie's motion. She also taught Mom how to make chicken and dumplings, Heaven rest her soul.

My family's originally German so we get all the "kuchens." If you like streuselkuchen, you should get a recipe for lebkuchen. It's a really tasty kind of spice cake. Definitely worth trying.
