27-28 июля 2020, День памяти святого равноапостольного великого князя Владимира / 27-28 July 2020, The remembrance day of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Great Prince Vladimir
I grew up in New Bedford, a city that was once one of the wealthiest in the world. Those days are long past, but some of the history of the place remains in the inhabitants who migrated to the city in search of work in the local industries: whaling, textile mills, manufacturing, and fishing. Many in the city can trace their roots to mainland Portugal, the Azores, Madeira, Cape Verde, Quebec, Poland, and Ireland. As you might guess from that mix of peoples, that also means that there's a strong Catholic tradition in the area, and Easter is "the big one" holiday-wise for Catholics.
My next-door neighbor growing up, Mrs. Souza, would often bake my family a big loaf of massa sovada as a gift at Easter, and those loaves would usually have a half-dozen hard boiled eggs, shell and all, baked into the loaf as a decoration (a traditional tweak to the recipe at Easter). She never shared her recipe outside of family so far as I'm aware, and while sweet bread is easy to come by (there are numerous Portuguese bakeries that make it), I wanted to know how to bake it myself, and spent a good decade working on a recipe that I adapted from various family recipes that were contributed to things like local school fundraiser cookbooks. It was more challenging than it sounds, if only because like so many family recipes, there's a lot encoded in measurements like "add enough of" or "the usual amount of", or instructions like "until it looks right." But, I think I've landed on something that, at least to my memory, matches what Mrs. Souza used to make. My father-in-law, who is the son of Portuguese immigrants, has given it the thumbs-up, too.
The bread is sweet, but not overly sweet, and the crumb is relatively moist. The Portuguese also brought this bread with them to Hawaii, and it's popular there, too, although there it's likely to be called Hawaiian bread.
Ingredients
2 lb. all-purpose flour
10 oz. milk
8 oz. unsalted butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 c. lukewarm water (~100°F)
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp. ground mace
grated zest of 1 lemon (or 1/2 tsp. lemon extract)
grated zest of 1 orange (or 1/2 tsp. orange extract)
Directions
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside to hydrate.
Scald the milk. Add 4 oz. of the butter, the sugar, and the salt, and stir until the butter has melted. Let cool a bit, then add the zest (or extract) and whisk in the eggs.
Put the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the milk and water mixtures. Stir with the dough hook until a single mass forms, then increase the speed and "knead" for 5 minutes. Note that the dough will be very sticky and not pull away from the sides of the bowl cleanly; this is a pretty wet dough, intentionally. Add the remaining softened butter 1 tbl. at a time, letting each addition incorporate before adding the next one. Turn out onto a floured surface, shape into a ball, and put in a large well-oiled bowl. Cover with a bit of cling wrap and a towel, and allow to rise until doubled, 3-4 hours. When doubled, punch down, reshape, and let rise until doubled again (roughly 2 hours).
Oil two 8" cake pans (I use 3" high pans). Divide the dough into two equal-sized pieces, shape gently into balls, and place in the cake pans. Cover again, and let rise until the cake pans are filled. I do this overnight in a cool spot.
When the dough has risen to fill the pans, preheat your oven to 400°F. Brush the tops of the dough with a little melted butter, and place them in the oven, scattering some ice cubes on the bottom of the oven to add some steam. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then tent each loaf lightly with foil, reduce the heat to 350°F, and continue baking 35-40 minutes until the loaves sound slightly hollow when rapped.
Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pans and cool to room temperature on wire racks.

I'm going to participate in a photo competition of the University of Antwerp. The topic is "equality". So the photo has to express that the university gives equal opportunities to everyone, whatever their origin, religion, appearance, etc. may be.
Do you think this is a good shot for the contest?
And btw, I passed 5 of the 6 exams. I have only one retake, organic chemistry. I'm pretty happy with my results, if you know that only 16 students of the 170, passed al their exams. And 30% of the students didn't succeed for any course.

Anjar, Lebanon.
The city of Anjar was founded by Caliph Walid I at the beginning of the 8th century. The ruins reveal a very regular layout, reminiscent of the palace-cities of ancient times, and are a unique testimony to city planning under the Umayyads.
Founded during the Umayyad period under Caliph Walid Ibn Abd Al-Malak (705-715), the city of Anjar bears outstanding witness to the Umayyad civilization. Anjar is an example of an inland commercial centre, at the crossroads of two important routes: one leading from Beirut to Damascus and the other crossing the Bekaa and leading from Homs to Tiberiade. The site of this ancient city was only discovered by archaeologists at the end of the 1940s. Excavations revealed a fortified city surrounded by walls and flanked by forty towers, a rectangular area (385 x 350 m). Dominated by gates flanked by porticos, an important North-South axis and a lesser East-West axis, superposed above the main collectors for sewers, divide the city into four equal quadrants. Public and private buildings are laid out according to a strict plan: the great palace of the Caliph and the Mosque in the South-East quarter occupies the highest part of the site, while the small palaces (harems) and the baths are located in the North-East quarter to facilitate the functioning and evacuation of waste waters. Secondary functions and living quarters are distributed in the North-West and South-West quarters. The ruins are dominated by spectacular vestiges of a monumental tetrapyle, as well as by the walls and colonnades of the Umayyad palace, three levels of which have been preserved. These structures incorporate decorative or architectonical elements of the Roman era, but are also noteworthy for the exceptional plasticity of the contemporary decor within the construction.

105 - Our Daily Challenge - "Song lyrics":
In My Daughter's Eyes (Martina McBride)
In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.

I'm not a huge country music fan, but this song makes me tear up....EVERY time. Probably because I raised 2 daughters and now can enjoy this precious one. That's right...a little poetic license as these are my granddaughter's eyes. They are gorgeous blue, but I was in a b/w mood. She was not interested in looking into the lens today, but did take 3 steps towards me. First time I've seen her do that! So sweet! I am very blessed!!!!! I especially love the final words of this song. When I'm gone, I hope you see how happy she made me, for I'll be there...in my daughter's eyes.
