See for yourself

Dear Diary:
I was in Houston visiting my daughter. She served a Green’s babka made in Brooklyn, which I love and used to bring back to my home in Los Angeles from Zabar’s every time I was in New York. So we went to her local market; I bought two and put them in my suitcase.
When flying home, my carry-on and I went through security — and got pulled aside. The guard apologetically explained that he would have to check my suitcase.
“You have food items in it, don’t you?” he asked.
“Yes,” I said, a bit baffled. “Coffee cakes.”
“They’re very dense,” he said.
“Indeed they are!” I said.
He pulled my two cinnamon babkas out of the suitcase. “We couldn’t see through them on the X-ray,” he said.
“That’s why they’re so good,” I replied, laughing.
He swabbed them for explosives (yes, I’m serious), then said they would have to go through the X-ray machine again, but he added, “Maybe we can get them warm and toasty for you!”
So hooray for New York’s own Green’s babka, the only babka too dense to make it through airport security!

So if you need a good babka, you know what to do!
