Just returned from 10 day trip to Czech Republic.

Does anyone have information on the following 2 men.

MACH Pete (20.6.1894-?), prijezd do Galvestonu 7.7.1913, naturalizovan
v okrese Ellis, Texas.

Mach John Jr. (23.11.1886-?), prijezd do Galvestonu 2.7.1904,
naturalizovan v Ellis okrese, Texas.

This information came from Lipa 1261-2001 published at the occasion of
the 740th anniversary of the first written mention of village Lipa in
a region of Zlin.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Nan,
         Attached is the recipe I use for Apricot Dumplings (Merunkove
knedliky). This works well for me but does not use a yeast dough. I'll
send that recipe (prune filled with poppy seed topping) next, after I
type it up - my favorite dough!
         The third one, coming later, uses a traditional potato dough
(similar to Frances Barton's Sisky dough).

What a fun topic for a thesis!

I have two Texas Czech cookbooks from the 1960s. The first is "Our
Favorite Recipes." It was published by the Christian Sisters Society of
the Taylor Brethren Church in 1963. Many of the people in this
congregation came from the Vsetin region in Moravia, a stronghold of
Hussite protestants. This book contains the kolac recipe of the Taylor
Christian Sisters; for many years they baked thousands of kolace every
month and sold them to raise money. It also contains my grandmother's
astonishingly good sour cream cake and sour cream icing recipe. There
are also two Moravian molasses cookie recipes, several pickle recipes,
and--my favorite--a kapanky (egg drop dumplings) recipe. My mother made
kapanky very often; she would drop the kapanky dough (flour, egg, and
salt mixture of a runny consistency) into chicken broth that usually
also had onion, tomatoes, celery, and lots of parsley. So delicious. A
little like Chinese egg drop soup, except the Czechs always used flour
in the mixture. Most of the other recipes are American.

The second book is called "Our Favorite Recipes." It was compiled by the
Christian Sisters Organization of the Austin Brethren Church in 1966.
This one has a couple of sauerkraut salads, a recipe for potato
dumplines with prunes (sisky), poppy seed cake (this was the kind of
cake my father always wanted for his birthday; it has lots of
poppyseed), an old (19th century for sure) recipe for
"Great-Grandmother's Oatmeal Cookies," something called "Czech Apple
Strudel," and my other grandmother's Christmas cookie recipe that she
copied from a 1920 issue of "Physical Culture Magazine." It is similar
to the Moravian molasses cookie recipes in the Taylor book.

I would be happy to copy these books and send them to you if you think
they would be useful. I also have several family recipes I would be glad
to share. For example, my mother's incredible dill pickle recipe (cold
pack, flavored with garlic, dill, and mustang grape leaf), rice pudding
with prunes, my mother's rye bread recipe, my grandmother's caraway
cheese recipe (there was recent discussion of this type of cheese on
this site), my mother's heavenly chicken and dumpling recipe, and Mary
Mrazak's recipe for chocolate cake (a great Czech cook from south Texas).

This has gotten to be kind of long-winded. I love this food so much it's
hard to say only a few words. Let me know if any of this might be
helpful to you.

Oh! I forgot one of my favorites! Nelsonville Stew! My father was the
preacher at the Nelsonville Brethren Church during the 1940s and 1950s.
One of the yearly church dinners featured a poultry stew, similar to
stews served in many rural areas of America. Some places this stew would
be made with squirrel. In Nelsonville, the cooks made it with turkeys,
potatoes, lima beans, corn, and chili powder (Gebhardt's, I believe).
They made it outdoors in big vats over an open fire.

Did I mention the mutton? You see, I could go on and on. I better sign
off now.

Frances,

 

I think YOU need to write us a cookbook.  I am sure there are many who would be willing to buy it!

I second that idea or at least post the recipes for the dishes that you named.  I would especially like to see the recipe for the cheese with caraway seed.  My mother used to make the "egg drop" soup just like you described making it.  When I was still living at home and she was making this soup, I had no experience with Chinese food so imagine my surprise later in my life when I was first was served egg-drop soup at a Chinese restaurant.
