it was good to hear the word babka..i haven't heard that word since my mom pasted away...she used to make it for christmas and easter..she would make a brade on top to fanci it up and i would peal it off and eat it. all the breads were bare by the time she would cut them...i'll check with my sister to see if she has my mom's receipe...also i miss hearing the slovak language. once i heard two people talking slovak in a store and i just stayed close just to hear it spoken.....
