A World Away: Postwar Migration to Montgomery County, 1945-1965
This panel presentation addresses patterns of migration in 1950s Montgomery County. In this postwar decade most of the foreign born living in the county came from England, Canada, Germany, and the USSR though others came from as far away as China. Using census data, historical newspapers, government documents, and life history interviews the panel will highlight hidden stories of migration including those of stateless refugees, Chinese entrepreneurs, and Yiddish speakers.

BRZI MEDENJACI BEZ BRAŠNA - MEKANI I SOČNI - MOJI OMILJENI I NAJBOLJI MEDENJACI - ELIZINI MEDENJACI
Šta kažete za medenjake, koji ne sadrže ni gram brašna a ipak su mekani i sočni? Onda morate da isprobate poznate „Elisenlebkuchen“ iz Nirnberga. Ako vjerujemo legendi, ime su dobili po Elisabeth, kćerki poznatog pekara koji se bavio pripremom medenjaka. Jednog dana se kćerka razboljela i ni jedan doktor joj nije mogao pomoći. U svojoj nevolji se otac sjetio dejstva orijentalnih začina pa je za svoju Elisabeth kreirao posebne medenjake bez brašna ali sa najkvalitetnijim sastojcima. I tako je Elisabeth ozdravila. Da li je to istina, nikad nećemo saznati ali da su ovi medenjaci fantastični – itekako. Samo moramo zasukati rukave i baciti se u pripremu.

Recept za savršeno mekane i sočne medenjake - medenjaci punjeni pekmezom od šljiva - medena srca
Prošle godine sam dobijala puno molbi da napravim video za pripremu medenjaka, posebno za one punjene pekmezom od šljiva. Pošto videe za zimski specijal uvijek snimam nekoliko sedmica prije, prošle godine nisam bila u mogućnosti ali vam zato danas ispunjavam želju. Snimanje videa i kreiranje recepta je zahtjevalo puno vremena ali sam uvjerena da se isplatilo. U ovom videu vam nudim dvije varijante: jednu tradicionalnu i jednu jednostavnu te tri recepta za glazure. Ovako imate dovoljno izbora i sve ono što vam srce poželi u samo jednom videu i receptu.

Bonus Video: Springerle Cookies
Our gift to you is this bonus video featuring springerle cookies. How did 15th century German cookies end up on Michigan tables in the mid-1800s? And why would you ever put a skull on a Christmas cookie?
Here's the recipe from Donna:
The recipe I use is the one used at Firestone Farm and dates to the 1870's. The Firestones were of German descent, and came to the Ohio region from Pennsylvania.
5 eggs - beaten to a stiff cream
fold in 2 cups pulverized (powdered) sugar
next mix in 3/4 to 1 tsp hartshorn (bakers ammonia / ammonia bicarbonate)
and the zest of one lemon
add 4 1/2 cups sifted flour
The dough should chill overnight (refrigerator is fine for this step)
After the cookies are pressed and cut, place them on a very lightly greased cookie sheet sprinkled with anise seed.
Set them in a cool dry place for 24 hours to dry out the tops - DO NOT use the refrigerator for this step, as the cookie tops will not dry out properly. I use an attic room with the heat vents turned off.
Bake at 250 degrees for about 40 minutes - use an unpressed piece of dough as a tester - when the center springs back, the cookies are done.
Do not over bake them - they should be a nice white color, with very little golden color on the bottoms only.
Once they are done and cool, place them in a glass or ceramic airtight container for 3 - 6 weeks to cure. You can decorate them during this time, just be careful to let the sugar paint dry and then return them to finish curing.
