Babka -- Is nothing sacred?
Growing up, my grandmother made a wonderful traditional babka with a crumb topping. Lots of eggs, golden raisins, all pure ingredients, of course. Babka has either nothing on the top or a crumb topping from butter and sugar. Yesterday we went to Stop & Shop and as we passed the bakery department I saw babka. Except it had a sugar glaze icing and colored sprinkles on top. What idiot came up with that idea? It must have been like an earthquake in Poland as all the grandmothers turned in their graves. |

Bears no resemblance to the real thing. |

If there's two things I love, it's eggs and golden raisins. Yet, I've never heard of babka or anything combining those two ingredients. What is it? Sounds Jewish, but despite always intrigued by Jewish cuisine, I've never heard of it. nb |

You can make them with cheese, poppy seeds or raisins. Sadly, when I was younger I never bothered to watch just how my grandmother made it so the actual method is long gone. |

Jews did live, more or less harmoniously, in Poland for hundreds of years, and share a lot of food names, such as kishke or krupnik. But the names may not be describing the same dish. The Polish kishke contains blood as well as buckwheat groats. Babka is Polish for grandmother. It shares a root with the Yiddish bubbeh. For interest, zeyde is tied even more closely to the Polish for grandfather, dziadek. Robert Strybel is pretty reliable on Polish recipes. This babka has eggs and (possibly golden) raisins. http://www.food.com/recipe/polish-ba...ad-easy-267033 |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw |
