Thanks everyone, and I hope you all had a lovely holiday as well. Sorry to be so spotty around here and responding to you all - I’m all over the place lately, but I really appreciate you guys sharing your own stories and traditions. It makes my day to hear them.

Three cheers for dark chocolate! And that bread looks yummy. Sigh, to have an oven again… I like to eat hollow bunny ears first. No particular reason for that.

*bouncing in excitement*
I recognize the bread! Only we call it Kulich. (ch as in “ciao”) Of course I can’t bake it myself, but what wouldn’t I give to eat some of my mum’s right now! *cries* Have an extra one for me, Katie!

Mmmmm, Baska - sounds very much like something I used to make called “Fat Cake” (and for good reason) - you take a high quality white bread dough, let it rise once, then knead in lots of sweet butter, sugar, and raisins, currants or whatever dried fruits you like, then bake in small rounds glazed with extra sugar….good times.

Very interesting…the wandering Germans–kinda like the wandering Jews, eh? F–ked up world; glad you’re here to tell the tale atleast. I’ve got both Jews and Germans in my family–in fact the German is a converted Jew, and while I’m thinking about it, the one Ukranian friend that I was well-acquainted with at one point was a Bronx native who was fluent in Spanish and played Latin percussion. My point? Happy Easter! I tend to break off one piece at a time and listen between limbs.

Where I came from in Kansas had a huge Volga German population. We were just regular Germans on one side and convict labor on the other. Very cool people, those Volgans, but I never saw that kind of bread. :)
