I remember thinking as I stared in the pan on the top of the stove. though my husband had announced that he was making pancakes for s upper, these did not look like any pancakes I had ever seen. But there was my sweetheart, busily pouring liquid-thin batter into the pan and flipping over large crepes. "These are Russian Menonite pancakes." he said happily, proceeding to spread each one with strawberries before rollin it up. Now, nearly two decades after that newlywed memory, here is a Russian Mennonite alphabet--generously flavored with peppernuts, rolkuchen, and verenike, and textured with storeis of faithful witness, significant places and remarkable journeys. In the process of writing, I met by happenstance one individual wheeze parents had been children during the 1920's emigration; upon hearing the project described, this person immediately exclaimed, "A--Anabaptist, B--Borscht!" His reaction is precisely the spirit with which I hope the book is received. This alphabet sketch is both an invitation to enter, and an expression of appreciation for, the deep wells of knowledge carried by so many around us. --Lisa Weaver. Copyright 2011 CMU Press | |
