My sister explained to me tonight how her research has found that on my mother’s mother’s side of the family, if one goes back to 1740 one will discover that Josiel Weintraub was born in Tykocin in the Lomza Gubernia of the Polish portion of the Russian Empire. Tykocin is about 100 miles northeast of Warsaw and 15 miles west of Bialystok.
So, that put me in the mood as it explained my hankering for babka.
Not chocolate, but a quick not fancy cinnamon raisin that I whipped together...
