http://svacinaproject.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Family history food = me. Aboutwho else. me! Thursday, December 26, 2013. St Nicholas Day 2013. My son lining up the chocolate coins St. Nicholas. Left in his stocking. My niece with the fake moustaches she. Got in her stocking. I wrote about some of my memories of St. Nicholas Day and what my sons get in their stockings in a blog post. In 2012. This year was no different, though I found candy cane-flavored Pop Rocks to add (not Czech but really fun) and blown glass ornaments from the Czech Republic.

Family history food = me. Aboutwho else. me! Sunday, July 27, 2014. Part 2 - Texas Czech Foodways: A Cultural Legacy.

On April 29th I returned from a week-long trip to Sweden, where I spent half the time in Stockholm and half the time on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. This trip was a very long time coming. in fact, since my dear friend Laura moved to Sweden in 1989. Later in the week, we sought out a very popular Czech pub in Stockholm called. Me in front of the Soldier. It was very loud. It was very crowded and liv...

Svacina Project: June 2013

http://svacinaproject.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Family history food = me. Aboutwho else. me! Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Lori Najvar and Gene Volcik. I took a loaf of banana bread for dessert. The recipe came from my sister years ago and she wrote on the recipe card that she got it from a Czech cookbook given to my Dad by my grandmother, but she didn't write which cookbook. She did, however, write the Czech name for the loaf on the card - Bananova Babovka. 1 3/4 cup flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sugar.

Family history food = me. Aboutwho else. me! Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Yesterday was my father's 71st birthday and we celebrated him last Sunday with a lunch at his house. He asked to have beef stew (recipe below), corn bread and lemon pie. There's nothing traditional about these foods except that my mother's been making them fantastically for years. But on this occasion, I did revive a tradition from my childhood for my kids and my Dad. My dapper grandfather, George Kallus. On my grandfather's birthd...

Family history food = me. Aboutwho else. me! Monday, August 19, 2013. Last Thursday, I attended the 158th picnic. He wrote "The Parish Feast in Praha took place in August, and it was more than half a year since I had been there among my old acquaintances. But how to get there the 10 miles distance? Crew for our Texas Czechs exhibit. Lori and Maria in the church choir loft lugging film and camera gear. Praha is one of Texas' "painted churches' - you can see some of the. And the food is so worth the wait!

Gene Marie and Arnold Bohuslav. Moravia is a tiny community (less than 200 people) in Lavaca County locatable by finding the intersection of Farm roads 957 and 532. Though originally settled by Anglo setters, it was taken over by Czech immigrants in the 1870s as many communities in the Lavaca/Fayette County area were.
