What a great story! I was fascinated to learn about the history and background to the tradition of fasting. That strawberry blintz looks delicious too - I will have to try it!
HI Renee! Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry it wasn't clearer and thanks for pointing out my error. It's baking soda--not water or Coke! I'm going to change it in the online version for future readers! Happy Baking! Please let me know how it comes out.
Beautiful post! I want to make the coffee cake but have a really dumb question... what do you mean by 1 teaspoon of "soda"? Baking soda? Soda water? Coca-Cola? I'm not a baker so in my mind it could be anything :)
Thank you Ruth for sharing so much information about the history and traditions of your religion!
