This is still on my list to make. My maternal grandmother (and maybe my grandfather as well, I'm not sure) came from Kyiv—they were Ukrainian Jews (although I think it was part of Russia at the time. Although there's an extremely complicated legacy for Jews in Ukraine, Zelensky himself is Jewish and, more importantly he's a hero for his people with great personal integrity. What this administration is doing in this regard is a crime.
Can I share this article / recipe over at Wonkette? We're another liberal newsblog (like this one), but with a much higher level of snark and humor (which one needs to have in order to cope with these times). A semi-regular weekend feature is a cake recipe......
Hiya. This was one of my less snarky posts, but you can share, as long as you credit me and drive traffic to my substack, and know that I've got 4 years of snarky/kinda funny recipes here.
It is really a dreadful as well as "...a pathetic state of affairs when a cake has a stronger structure than our diplomatic relationship with Ukraine". After all that Ukraine has suffered after a war STARTED BY RUSSIA, it is mind boggling what the White House is doing. Perhaps now more people will see that Trump is a liar.
I have a friend, former guide, who helped my wife and me on a visit to Liviv a few years ago. Alex recently opened the first bagel shop in Liviv and possibly in all of Ukraine. They carry other goodies. I'm not sure about poppyseed cake, but maybe. Here's the Instagram site for his shop, "Tali": and thanks for your recipe and for being a fellow Contrarian subscriber. RL

I made this when you published it last time. It is exquisite!
This Ukrainian American thanks you!
