Josef Ingrisch, Sr . . .

Josef Ingrisch Sr. and his sweet wife Eugenia live in Timisoara. They greeted us warmly and welcomed us to their home. We met the first time in 1999, when I  knocked on their door unexpectedly. Read how we met "My Trip to Mercydorf 1999" I visited with them again 2004 & 2005.
    

Eugenia loves her garden and it is beautiful.  She is a wonderful cook, and I've had the pleasure of tasting her wonderful pastries and Goulash!  She served Acacia blossom (seeped) iced tea.  [Eugenia's Walnut Roses - Pastry Recipe] Eugenia always has a smile on her face.  We had a translator, Cristian Badoiu with us to assist in communication.  Josef Jr. speaks good English.  

Josef Ingrisch, Jr.

Josef Jr. is an accomplished professional employed by Lukoil Corporation.  He stays busy with his job. During my May 2004 visit Jr. was in the process of building a new home, I could see it was going to be a very nice place.  He had many items imported to suit his taste and the home is well built.  The photo below is the front of the large house. 

Josef Jr. loves to hunt and Josef Sr. proudly displays the horns of his kill.

Walnut Roses - Pastry Recipe:
Translated from Romanian to English by my friend Nick Tullius

Eugenia made a batch of these Walnut Roses  pastries for me to take home with me, I ate a lot of them on the airplane - they are so good!  My friend Nick Tullius, kindly translated this recipe from Romanian to English, for us to enjoy!

Here is the recipe (it is not entirely clear to me, but I did my best to translate what is written… Europeans are not that precise with some of these quantities; they get so good at it, they do it instinctively, without measuring too much).

  • 250 g flour [250 grams = 9 oz. = 1 cup + 2 tablespoon]

  • 250 g butter [250 grams = 9 oz. = 1 cup + 2 tablespoon]

  • 4 egg yolks

  • a little yeast

  • a little warm milk

Mix flour and butter, add milk with yeast, to produce an elastic dough and let it stand to rise.

Divide into three parts.  With a rolling pin, roll out on the table, make a thin sheet and twist it.

Cut the twisted strips into small pieces and place on baking sheet.

Glazing is made by mixing ground walnuts and the 4 egg whites beaten.

These little walnut rose pastries are so yummmmmy!
