Well, I have read with interest all the sausage stories. Most of the time,
I can remember similar stories to go along with what I was reading - not the
case with sausage. Although my father to this day is a great lover of
everything sausage, even if he isn't allowed to have as much as he would
like or ate in his earlier days. Sausage making apparently wasn't something
done in our home or my grandparent's homes. Possibly because of the type of
farming they did. I have heard many stories of the grapes gr
What district would Lugosch be in? I am searching for the surname of

How many centuries ago was that, - you have a good memory. Maybe Rudy can help us out. I can't remember. A good refreshment, will help to wash the geese lard on crackers down better.

Only the rich farmers had turkeys. Depends on the dialect, where your
grandfather came from, they said "Bukel, Bukle. Some said Truthahn. Here are
more examples;
turkey = Pute; Puter; Truthahn;(s) Truthenne(p);
Brush Turkey = Buschhuhn;
Christmas Turkey = Weihnachtsputer;
Common Turkey = Truthuhn'
Ocellated Turkey = Pfauentruthuhn;
Turkey (tr) = T|rkei (country)
Turkey Vulture = Truthahngeier;
cold turkey = von heute auf morgen.
roast turkey = Putenbraten..

Lovely idea! And something I sort of do here - my parents loved rose
bushes, then there is the Hussli Peppers, and my husband's mother's
buttercups and peonies.
What flowers (if any) were popular to grow among our DS ancestors? Indoor &
Outdoor plants would be nice to know.
And HELLO EVERYONE - yes I've been away and not reading my mail and playing

Another question I have - in many Hungarian restaurants and books you see
samples of embroidery that include what I think is a poppy flower
Oh, Henry,
We had the Schlachtfests, too. My aunts and their husbands would buy
piglets with my parents. The pigs were raised on our very mini farm. When
it came time for the schlacht, aunts and uncles would arrive. The men would
take care of the schlacht and meat cutting and the women would be cooking
the meat, rendering the fat, etc. in the kitchen in our basement. The
children blew on the intestines (cleaned, of course) for the sausage
casing--we thought it was great fun! It was like we had
Of course we can discuss Religion and Political aspects of our DS ancestors lives. Especially because their faith was intertwined so with their daily life. Thanks for the lessons.

Welcome, Rosemarie -- I'm hoping that you will share your impressions of
your recent visit to Baumgarten and some of those pictures.
For others reading this, Baumgarten is the German name for the village.
Some of you may know it by it's Hungarian name - Fakert.
As a matter of course, the dvhh uses the German names for the villages but I
thought some may have seen the Hungarian name on ship manifests -- you may
be wondering about the location. Susan

I believe I mentioned before that my husband's family came from Ruma. Their dialect was quite different from our Schwowisch.
When my daughter Marianne, a real tomboy, was about four years old I was working Saturdays when my husband and his mother were at home and could mind her.
It was a hot sommer day and Oma noticed on half of the lilac tree in the back yard the leaves were drooping. Upon closer inspection she found that the whole bush was split in half and a skipping rope tied around the split stems

Hi List,
I have never had the patience of growing my own seedlings indoors, but have sown the seeds in the ground outside in the spring. This can be as late as May in Canada.
I'd like to add another gardening tip: Grow shrubs from cuttings. It's a hit and miss sometimes which makes it so much more interesting.
You can grow Forsythias from cuttings. I cut several 12 to 15 inch twigs before they sprout in the spring and stick them in the ground appr. 4 inches down. They don't always all sprout, but some wi
I only saw my mother do this one time....the result was my children wanting

and the goose for show and tell :-O

Oh, I can relate. One Easter, Mom bought three little ducklings for my
brothers and me. The were so fuzzy and soft. We, too, loved them. We named
them Happy, Petey and Gus. why? who knows, except for Petey. My wise
little brother, named his after dad, who was not especially into farm
critters (a city boy). Well, they grew and grew and soon were large, white
ducks. We still loved them, but mom was very unhappy at the mess they
created. Several summers went by and then one fall after coming home from
My granmother and aunt made Brunnenkipfel which I love. My aunt is now 90 years old and I'm afraid the recipe will be gone forever. My sister received the recipe and tried it once but it didn't come out right. I thought they had crushed nuts in them and I thought the kneaded dough was placed in the freezer overnight.

Further after-thought:
You can find "umorga" in the following reference: Konrad Gerescher (of Backi-

the second "e" in "ever]. These come from "Bub", a south-German, Austrian &

"Mddel" is again a regional (Bavarian, Austrian) form of "Mddchen". The

Being a plural,
Hello List,
that 'Umarga' and variants comes from the Hungarian "Uborka", I heard it
with may Grandparents (Hungarians) times and times again. Don't know 100% if
it's "high Hungarian", but I supose.
The banaters.com got the right spelling on their page of Banat dishes, see
