(Mrs. Zahay, cont.)

When it was dark, we lighted at least one candle on the table.
It was a custom to wait "until the stars are out" to light them
& to start supper.*

Recipes

Mushroom soup:

Wash mushrooms, cut them up, put in pan & boil
with salt & onions, pepper

Cover with water.

Some add celery.

Make zaprashka:

Take flour (couple spoons), margarine & brown it. Add some water
& thicken. Add more water & thicken. Pour in soup & mix up.

Eat with kolachis (ko [macron over the "o"] -- la [caron over the "a"] -- chez [macron over the "e"]

Some put vinegar (2-3 tablespoons) in soups to taste.

Also, some added sauerkraut to taste.

Also, rice or cubed potatoes cooked in with mushrooms

She herself just made it as described above.

* Mrs. Zahay says this was done to keep the
children from continuously asking when
supper would be ready
