Year after year, when multiple diets are looked at for effectiveness, benefits for life and longevity, and long term sustainability, it’s the Mediterranean Diet that comes on top every time. These muffins tasted so good with a cup of tea in the morning, and I felt better enjoying them when Nishma informed me that it was light on the sugar and made with almond flour. Of the 23 muffin flavors offered daily, blueberry muffins are the top-selling “by far,” he said. Strasnick said the new location in Mendon will have a minimum of 20 employees working there. All of the baked items are freshly baked each day, and any leftovers will be donated to local food pantries. Strasnick’s late father, Bernard Strasnick, was the owner of a bakery called the Broadway Pastry Shop located in Chelsea.

Before her imprisonment, she and Cherelle liked to spend lazy Sundays in bed, watching television and laughing. But being in a single room with a bed reminds her too much of prison. She has nightmares that she has to go back to Russia to file some errant paperwork and becomes trapped all over again. Between seasons, she and Cherelle used to venture down to Mexico for a few romantic days of relaxation. Now she’s afraid that she could be a valuable target for another hostage situation.

“I will never forget any of it,” she told me, enunciating each word to make her point. The Gamble House will open the doors to its servants' hall and rooms for the first time in its history. During the 2022 W.N.B.A. All-Star Game, the players wore Griner’s jersey number in solidarity during the second half.

After Uber Cafe closed, Strasnick was presented an opportunity to start a second location there. On average 600 customers are served each weekday, and 1,000 customers served each day on the weekends. Sheldon Strasnick is the owner of the Muffin House Café.

The other incarcerated women brought photos of their kids for her to sign, which she did. In early July, Cherelle was interviewed by Gayle King to raise awareness, noting that Griner’s team had yet to meet with the Biden administration. Griner came dressed in a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt in symbolic protest; Hendrix was arrested on a drug charge in 1969 in Toronto and found not guilty.

Previously, she was the senior West Coast editor at Thrillist, where she covered food, drink and travel across the California region. She grew up across San Diego and Riverside and has happily called Los Angeles home for more than 15 years. It’ll be at least a month until they’re ripe, maybe longer. Watching them grow outside my window, I can’t help but daydream about what I’ll do with my eventual harvest. It’d be easy to drop a handful in yogurt and granola or pancake batter for breakfast, but I find myself wanting to give the berries a more dramatic finish. Strasnick, a Lynn native and current Medway resident, said his father joined the baker’s union and operated a bakery in Chelsea for many years, where he eventually took over when he was about 25.

I’m also keeping a couple of easy, back-up recipes handy, just in case I have extra berries.

If a muffin falls anything short of perfect, Strasnick said they donate it to charities or local food pantries. The demand for Muffin House Café muffins has supported the company’s expansion from one to five locations in less than 10 years, with a sixth café under renovation and expected to open in Walpole this spring. MEDWAY — If you walk into the Muffin House Cafe during the busy hours, you are greeted by the smell of freshly baked goods, and surrounded by the chatter of customers in the dining area. Sheldon Strasnick, the owner of Muffin House, said he has been working since he was 10 years old to bring the cafe experience to his customers.
By now, Cherelle and Griner’s agent, Lindsay Colas, were awake. Griner had been able to send a location pin through WhatsApp of where she was being held, and Colas frantically arranged for a Russian lawyer, Alex Boykov, to meet her. When Boykov arrived, investigators continued interrogating Griner. They wanted to know why she was in Russia, why she was bringing “drugs” in, whom they were for. Afterward, she was handcuffed and squeezed into another tiny civilian car. For hours, she sat hunched over in pain as she was driven all over Moscow — a sightseeing tour from hell.

It allowed her to release some of the debilitating shame and gather herself for what she would have to endure. Prison in Russia reopened old wounds, memories of her adolescent body as an object of fascination and prurient speculation. Guards heckled her, made lewd jokes, asked about her genitalia. Once, she recounted, while returning from the shower with a towel draped around her neck, a guard stopped her and looked her up and down. The guard used her baton to push the towel out of the way and stared at Griner’s chest.
In her 2014 memoir, “In My Skin,” Griner describes a comfortable but constrained childhood. By middle school, she towered over her classmates and felt like an outcast. Kids called her “freak.” They antagonized her for her height, her undeveloped chest, her deepening voice. Once, a popular girl walked up to Griner and groped her. She turned to her friends and declared that Griner “must be a boy.” The constant harassment weighed on her, and she became anxious and depressed.
"He just used to wake me up at midnight with him. At ten years old, I used to go to the bakery and fall asleep on the flower bags and then I stayed with it," he told WBZ-TV.

Less than two years ago, Griner was starting her nine-year sentence in a penal colony in Russia, sewing uniforms for the Russian military and subsisting on spoiled food. She lived for glimpses of the sky, which she could see only through weathered rebar when the guards took prisoners outside. She had never been further from the sport that made her a household name.
N.B.A. players like LeBron James and Stephen Curry publicly questioned what seemed like the U.S. government’s inaction on the case. But her most devoted and persistent advocates were Black women, many of them arguing online that the government’s response felt muted, a continuation of the culture of neglect that fails to adequately protect them and gender-nonconforming people. Kerry Washington and Roxane Gay campaigned for her in the American media.
His hands were soft compared with her roughened ones; later she heard that he spent his time in prison painting pictures of cats. In late November, after about a month in Mordovia, Griner was pulled from work to take a call from the U.S. She was told that discussions for a prisoner swap were underway and that she should keep quiet about it. Once again, she was summoned to the warden’s office and told that the trade was imminent. She began preparing, donating her possessions — shampoo, food, clothes — and giving Ann the money she made working for five weeks, less than $100.
Working with his father as a child, and throughout high school, Strasnick followed in his father’s footsteps long after his father’s passing in 1984. Griner was sentenced to nine years in a penal colony. Her Russian lawyers surreptitiously called Cherelle on FaceTime and held the phone up through the bars of Griner’s cage, and they wept together. While I wait for my garden fruit to ripen, I’ll be practicing pie-making with store-bought blueberries. I’m hoping that by the time mine are ready I’ll be a bona fide (home) baker.
