RE: Happy Easter!

It looks really delicious. Happy Easter! I am curious about the cake you mentioned. I have not heard of it for some reason, which surprises me because, although my family is not religious, we have Romanian family friends. Also, in this part of the country (Canada), we have many immigrants from Ukraine.

I remember when I was a girl being lucky enough to be invited to a friend's house for a traditional Ukrainian Easter celebration. My friend's mother was born in Canada, but her grandparents were born in Ukraine. What a wonderful feast we had! Her grandmother made homemade chocolate eggs. I had never seen anything so beautiful and delicious!

Although I am vegetarian, your post made my mouth water. Some find this odd, but I have been vegetarian a long time, but was not for the first (cough) decades of my life. That reminds me (okay, I know my comment is getting long...) of a lady from Turkey whom I tutored in English (ESL) here a few years ago. Many times, I tutor for hours and get hungry because I forget to bring a snack and no one offers me food.

Well, since this lady was from Turkey (both of my parents are immigrants, but not from Turkey), of course she offered me food. I find that people from Canada usually offer you nothing when you come to their home while people from almost anywhere else offer something. Her mother had made some sort of delicious crepes with a meat filling. She offered it to me. I tried to decline because I am vegetarian, but she mistook my declining for politeness and insisted, and I had not taught her enough English to explain, so I could not politely refuse. I am glad I didn't! Her mother was an amazing cook.

I know I am way off topic, but I thought I would say hello, happy Easter, and I enjoyed your post. I will be looking up that cake. Do I need more cake? Probably not, but I am curious!
