My granny made a wicked salmon cake, Roe makes them good but granny had something else in there and we can't figure it out. She made a good kapusta with cabbage, barley, served with mashed potatoes to die for. Lots of gas though.JoeZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668412444885079124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002743286940663121.post-3223790085684641562011-02-28T11:35:08.721-05:002011-02-28T11:35:08.721-05:00Joe, reading your post again the comment on taking...Joe, reading your post again the comment on taking the recipes to the grave hit close to home. I used to badger my Mom for her recipes. A few were extra special with a few twists like her chocolate icing for this cake that weighed a ton. I remember the icing having butter and coffee in it but nothing else. I often helped her sift the sugar for it.<br /><br />Her walnut cake too and her polish dishes like kapusta galushka (cabbage sour cream and noodles), are gone forever.<br /><br />I think that gave the old folks value in a fast moving world. Were they so afraid if they wrote them down they would be set off on an ice floe? I say that because my wife's Norwegian "Nini" was of Sami (northern Lapland), stock. When her mom got her to write down the recipes after years of begging she did. However, the old gal wrote them in "Sami" and unlike conventional Norsk, no one can read them.<br /><br />SkipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002743286940663121.post-45548763904312667822011-02-28T11:25:37.032-05:002011-02-28T11:25:37.032-05:00As Polish as our old neighborhood was, I can only ...As Polish as our old neighborhood was, I can only remember two bakeries and neither made a paczki. The Servus and the Eagle made regular old dougnuts cream or jelly very light with powdered sugar.<br /><br />Today I can clearly see what you call paczki and never ran into them till I hit the Polish neighborhood and store (Piast), in Garfield and now it Trenton at what was City Line Appliance across from Saint Hedwig's and another place down the street.<br /><br />The paczki I see now are more well done with a heavy glaze. My grandmother (Babci), never made desserts come to think of it. I can't remember a single one. I had lunch and dinner there every Saturday and it was wonderful, except for the soup with rice, but never a single sweet. We were too full to care I guess.<br /><br />SkipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
