I agree that "bulka" describes a rather large risen round wheat roll,
soft crusted like a hamburger bun but larger and more dense. But there
is another name for the matzo meal passover rolls... been on the tip of
my tongue all day. If either of my parents were still here I would
have posted it long ago. There are many recipes for this passover roll
on the net but so far none I've checked have given a name, not any name
other than "Passover Roll".
One day it will come to me.

It is, but more eggy, less sweet, and slightly heavier/denser. But
"petit choux" is not Yiddish... we need the Yiddish term for cream
puff/éclair shells. I'm surprised some lurker hasn't come foward.

Not in Russian, Ukrainian or Polish. In those languages, "bulka" is
more generic and can be most any kind of white/wheat bread, usually not
large (though in in the old Russian, as well as the current St.
Petersburg usage, *any* white bread is often called "bulka"😉. It is not
always round and can be oblong or rectangular (even though the origin of
the word is the French "boule", "ball"😉, and can have any texture.
"Bulochka" is almost by definition small.

Not in those three languages, anyway. Maybe in Yiddish it's different
(generic bread roll is "bulke", so maybe it's "Peysach bulke"?). In
Russian, for example, the things are called "paskhalnye (or Pesach)
bulki (or bulochki)".

Oh My!

(Whenever I see a series of three things in a sentence, each one 2
syllables, or the first 2 words 2 syllables, the third word, one syllable, I
am reminded of the scene in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy, the Scarecrow
and the Tin Man are walking through the forest towards the Emerald City, and
it's right before they meet up with the Cowardly Lion, they are afraid of
the wild animals in the forest and they begin to chant "Lions and tigers and
bears...Oh my!" repeatedly.) Whenever I'm faced with a list that has a
similar meter to that chant, I cannot resist adding "Oh my!"
Sorry!

Laverne and Shirley was a hit tv show from about 1976 until 1980 or so. It
starred Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. They were two working class
early-20'ish women in Milwaukee. They worked in brewery. Very funny program,
lots of physical comedy. One of my all-time favorites, in fact. At the
beginning, the women would run down the street, and recite a little...I
don't even know what you'd call it...it's not really a song.... I guess it's
sort of a poem...maybe like a jump-rope chant--that Penny Marshall and her
brother, Producer Garry Marshall, used to sing when they were kids growing
up off the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. It went like this:

Five, Six, Seven, Eight....
Schlemiel, Schlemazel
Hassenfeffer Incorporated!

Now the funny part is, the Marshalls are Italian, not Jewish. But as you
probably know, back in the 1950's when they were growing up there, it was
mostly Jews and Italians who lived off of the Grand Concourse in the Bronx.
Anyway, it was this silly thing from their childhood and they incorporated
it into the theme song of the shoe. And for a lot of people, it was their
first encounter with the Yiddish words "schlemiel" and "schlemazel".

Nancy was trying to be funny. And for those of who know who Laverne and
Shirley are, she succeeded!

_Laverne And Shirley_ was a lousy 70's sitcom centered around two loudmouth
Eyetalian female characters. Very unfunny, crass and b - o - r - i - n - g.
It's aged very badly, along with it's other sitcom ilk _Happy Days_, etc...

You know Greg, I thought those were two of sorriest shows to e-v-e-r

stomach them now. There's more, but those two come readily to mind.

There is a new channel here in Chicawgo that shows old shows exclusively.
Here are some more turgid losers from the 70's - 80's that I look at and
think "THIS was once popular!?":

- Joanie Loves Chachi

- Eight Is Enough

- Taxi (at least Tony Danza had a hot bod...)

- Barney Miller

- The Jeffersons

- Sanford and Son

- The Carol Burnett Show (the musical guests can be okay, but the comedy is
SO forced and obvious, "Hey look at US, aren't we FUNNY!?"😉

- Mork and Mindy

- The Facts of Life (was there ever anyone more OBNOXIOUS than Mindy Cohn?
You really want to SLAAAP her across the face with a tire iron...)

As you said, there's more, but those are some that immediately come to mind

Carol Burnett Show had me falling on the floor laughing - Tim Conway

the Wind is the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV, emphasize "ever."
