Puffy, light custard served with lemons and powdered sugar. Keep in mind they take 15 minutes to bake. Who claims them? Everybody. The Germans say they created them; in Wales and in Belgium, the same story. The Dutch might have named them, but we think they were named Dutch after a Dutch oven.

Marie Mekkelsen was born into a poor family of 11, in Lander, Denmark in 1888. At the young age of 9, she was hired out as a housekeeper. At age 15 she cleaned for a lawyer's family. One-half year's wages paid enough for her to buy a pair of shoes. In the year 1906, 18 years old, Marie came to America. Her brother, who had managed to borrow $50, had come ahead of her and paid her fare. The farewell meal prepared by her mother was her favorite, Danish Aebelskivers. We use the original recipe which Marie's mother used in Denmark.

Large, simple breakfasts with meats, eggs, potatoes and warm breads or cakes. The English like to eat in this manner. Country folk in Scotland, England and Wales enjoyed this hearty fare, washed down with plenty of tea and sometimes coffee. The candinavian countries, however, would gladly exchange toast for pastries, but also enjoyed meat and eggs.

Omelets resulted from the availability of eggs. Woe to the man who owned neither a laying hen nor a milking cow. In France it is an art to make them light and fluffy with a grand vatiety of ingredients. In Germany, Poland, and Slovakia you may expect eggs, cheese, and perhaps some sausage mixed in.

A traditional favorite at the Old European. Includes bacon, avocado, spinach, tomato, and Swiss cheese.

Old techniques of baking bread with a traditional "starter" used the slower, yet pure method of developing a cultured "starter" as your bread leavener. A cultered starter was grown in the farm wife's kitchen. Using "good" microorganisms from open air, it slowly grew on the flour and water it was fed each day. This was indeed the case with our great grandmother, Marie. She kept hers in the cellar and used a dollop in all her baking, Each starter took on its own "personality", depending on how it was grown. Some a little more sour, others a little sweeter, and still others more dense. But the one thing you could count on was it's ability to break down the gluten in the flour.

In the early part of the 20th century, leavener took an enterprising turn in bakeries. Instead of the long culturing time the starters required, a few companies discovered select strands of yeast could leaven bread with much less hassle. Hense, our modern day use of yeast in baking products. There is much speculation that this may be one of the reasons we have so many cases of gluten intolerances. Could it be that yeast just isn't able to break down the gluten that a traditional starter, with a diverse group of microorganisms, can? Well, we haven't put it through studies, but we certainly have tested it on our friends and family. Across the board, everyone tells us the same story: "I don't get a heavy feeling after eating your bread" "I feel good after eating this". In the case of baking sourdough bread, we are with the old way of thinking: Use a traditional starter, forget the yeast leavener.

The Samuel Parker family, descendants of John Knox, the Presbyterian minister of Wales, immigrated to America in the early 1800's. Initially, they found occupation in Iowa. By the mid 1800's, his son Henry Parker wished for more of the American dream of prospering through hard work, and the opportunity to carve a life out of the land. Henry packed up

his wife and children, Neil, Henry Samuel, Ida, Vera, and Frances, in a covered wagon. This family established one of the early homesteads in the Flathead Valley in Montana. They began in a one room cabin. Samuel's three children became quite progressive, becoming the first in the Valley to own a Model T, generate electricity, and have a telephone.

How does this relate to homemade jam? The Parkers brought with them raspberry bush starts. Aunt Ida and Aunt Vera, kept the raspberry patch alive all those years, passing the farm over to the grand children. From them we learned all about gardening, canning, cooking, and preserving, Today as their descendants, we can do no less than to serve homemade jam, made in house from real fruits. We are introducing homemade jams to serve, which we are choosing to prepare with seasonal fruits. Each season will produce it's own fruits and berries for us to bring to our tables. In the spring, rhubarb is the coolest plant as it comes to maturity early. In early summer, we look forward to berries, followed by late summer tree fruits such as apricots, plums,and peaches.

In the Old Country, coffee was not easy to afford and was often unavailable for purchase. To many folks who had left Europe's hopeless economics for a chance of a better life in America, a hot cup of coffee at the crack of dawn (made from grounds that weren't used yesterday and the day before that) before doing the chores in the fields, became symbolic of achieving a better life! Such was the case of our grandma Pedersen. To them, that early morning quiet ten minute cup of coffee together before the day began, meant everything. When grandpa became old and unhealthy, the Doctor said, "No more coffee." Eventually, grandpa completely lost his memory and was put in a nursing home. Grandma visited him, but he did not know her. One day grandma came to visit him and brought her coffee pot along. She proceeded to brew coffee just like she always had, only there she had to shoo away the well meaning nurses. That day became a very special moment of life. The coffee brought back grandpa's memory for a couple of hours. Grandma and grandpa talked about the past, the family, the farm and all the special things they had shared together. The following day, grandpa passed away.

Benefits of Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

Lots of Vitamin C

We all have heard orange juice is high in Vitamin C. In fact, just one small glass (about 6 ounces) of 100% orange juice provides you with 93 mg of vitamin C, more than 100% of the RDA for both men and women. But why care? Because it is supportive to your immune system. It increases your white blood cell count when coming from a whole food source (such as OJ) with the entire C complex intact.

Why does freshly squeezed matter?

Unfortunately beneficial antioxidant polyphenols as well as key digestive enzymes are destroyed during pasteurization. It also cuts down the vitamin content as they are very sensitive to heat and oxidation. WSU did a study several years ago determining the effect of oxidation on fruits and vegetables. The finding was that the sooner produce is consumed from the shelf, the more nutrients one gets from the produce. We squeeze our OJ to order!

A celebratory start to your day with bubbles in your glass!
