Our lentil soup is a hearty\, warm soup. Served with bacon\, Mettwurscht or pancakes\, it is a meal on its own. \nPaangecher are a very thin version of pancakes\, and we will show you some ideas on how to serve them in different ways. \nThis series is FREE to LACS members and $15 to non-members \nAbout our Speakers: \nNicky Krieger-Loos is from Dudelange/Luxembourg. In 1987\, as a member of the La Ronde Bettembourg folk dancing group\, she visited for the first time communities in the Midwest settled by Luxembourg immigrants in the 19th century. Over the years has stayed in touch with numerous descendants of these immigrants. With her husband Carlo and their children Claire\, Louis and Lucie\, they have moved around the world and lived in the USA\, Austria\, Russia\, China\, and currently in Brasilia. This way she has discovered many new food styles\, recipes and attended cooking classes in many different places. An optician by training\, she now pursues her hobbies cooking\, baking crazy birthday cakes\, quilting\, and up-cycling all kinds of fabrics from worn-out jeans to her children’s old clothes. \n  \n \nMarc Weydert graduated in Education Sciences. He is a teacher by training and he’s currently working for the Luxembourg Ministry of Education as a French text book author. He is married to Luxembourg diplomat Véronique Dockendorf and they have 3 daughters\, Amélie\, Sophie and Julie. Prior to moving to Brussels in summer of 2020\, they spent 4 years in Washington\, DC\, where Véronique was posted as Deputy Head of Mission at the Luxembourg Embassy. From 2008 to 2012\, the family lived their first « American » experience in New York City\, while being posted to the Permanent Mission of Luxembourg to the United Nations. \nCooking and baking is one of Marc’s favorite hobbies\, amongst others like composing and making music as well as woodworking. He attended culinary classes at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City and at L’Académie de Cuisine in Bethesda\, MD\, and animated two cooking workshops about Luxembourg cuisine at the Washington\, DC YMCA in 2019 and 2020.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n  \n\nPaangecher Ingredients: \n4 eggs\n3 cups milk\n2 cups flour\n1 tsp salt\nbutter \nPaangecher Directions: \n1) Put all the ingredients in a big bowl\, mix well until there are no more clumps of flour. \n2) Melt 1 tsp butter in a flat frying pan\, add 1/2 cup of the batter\, swirl pan to evenly cover the bottom. \n3) Bake for 1-2 minutes\, then flip the Paangech over. \n4) Transfer to a plate and continue until all the batter is used. \nPaangecher can be served in many ways: as a side dish with Bouneschlupp or vegetable soup sliced thinly in a chicken broth with ice cream rolled up with sugar and lemon juice filled with ham\, spinach and cheese\, baked in the oven filled with cream cheese and red\, green\, yellow peppers\, then sliced – served as finger food with cottage cheese\, cucumbers\, olives kids love them with peanut butter and banana or apple slices There are no limits to your imagination!\n \nLensenzopp Ingredients: \n1 large shallot minced\n3 garlic cloves minced\n3 medium carrots finely diced\n3 celery stalks finely diced\n3 medium potatoes diced (optional)\n1.5 cups pre-cooked lentils\n200g/1.5 cups smoked bacon diced\n1 bacon rind (preferably from the slab you got the dices from)\n2 Mettwurscht (any kind of smoked sausage will do) sliced\n1\,2 l/5 cups chicken stock\n1 Tbsp Curcuma\nFreshly ground pepper\n1 bunch curly parsley chopped\nCrème fraiche (1 dollop per person) \nLensenzopp Directions: \n1) Sweat the shallots\, garlic\, carrots\, celery\, bacon and bacon rind until the shallots turn translucent. (Have some water ready in case they start to turn brownish) \n2) Turn the heat to medium. Add the sausage and stir for a few minutes. \n3) Add the lentils\, then add the chicken stock until all the ingredients are covered with liquid. \n4) Add the potatoes and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. \n5) At the end of the cooking time\, season with pepper (you probably won’t need any salt\, as the soup will already be salty from the bacon\, the bacon rind and the smoked sausages). \n6) Refine with a little cream\, sour cream or vinegar. Add some parsley as a garnish\n \n*NOTE: It is recommended to peel and chop vegetables shortly before Cooking Class\, if you plan to cook along with Nicky and Marc. \n

SUMMARY:Oktav of Our Lady of Luxembourg: A Pilgrimage of Faith and Tradition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n  \nThe 400th Jubilee Celebration of Our Lady of Luxembourg began in December 2024 as the Archdiocese of Luxembourg celebrated the 400th anniversary of the devotion to Our Lady of Luxembourg under the vocable of  “Consolatrix Afflictorum” (Consoler of the Afflicted). The December 1624 procession with the statue of the virgin Mary was the starting point of the erection of a pilgrimage chapel and the election of the Consoler as the protector of the city of Luxembourg (1666) and the country (1678). Since that time\, pilgrims yearly converge in procession to the Cathedral\, which now houses the statue\, for the event known as the Oktav.  \nThis virtual program will detail the history of the veneration of the Consoler\, both in Luxembourg as well as in the United States\, where Luxembourg emigrants brought along this national religious tradition. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \n \nLACS board member Jean Ensch is a founding member of the Luxembourg Genealogical Society (ALGH)\, President of the Institut Grand-Ducal (Section of linguistics\, ethnology\, and onomastics). In 2014 he retired from his public service position with the City of Luxembourg after 41 years with the Population Bureau. Jean has conducted research and published extensively in the areas of history\, genealogy\, demographics and emigration\, specifically to the United States. His most recent works include a bibliography on Luxembourg local history dealing with houses and their inhabitants “A la recherche de maisons” and as a contributing author to a biographical and genealogical history of the Luxembourgers in the La Crosse area (Sandra L. Hammes: From Luxembourg to La Crosse and Beyond\, 1851-1910)\, both published in 2017. “Letzte Heimat in der Fremde\,” an essay on Luxembourg emigrants’ tombstones in the Midwest\, was published in 2019. In 2021\, he published in the exhibition catalog Pour Élise of the Luxembourg-City Museum\, “L’environnement familial d’Elise Hack\,” a genealogy on the family of Elise Hack\, an art donator to the City of Luxembourg and also in the Luxembourg-City magazine Ons Stad: “Le don de la Ville de Luxembourg à la Ville de Dormans\,” a report on reconstruction help by the City of Luxembourg to the City of Dormans (Champagne)\, severely damaged in WWI. In 2023\, he published in the art magazine of the Institut Grand-Ducal\, Section of Arts and Letters\, of his research on Luxembourg painter Frantz Seimetz\, who lived in the New World from 1889-1896\, “Seimetz au Nouveau Monde.”  \nIn that same year\, he co-authored with Carlo Krieger\, an article on Luxembourg emigration to Brazil “Clerfer Auswanderer in Südbrasilien”. \nOn the tech side\, he was involved in the development of an educational computer game on Luxembourg emigration to the US: “The Migrants’ Chronicles 1892”\, an international collaboration between the University of Luxembourg\, the Cologne Game Lab of the Technische Hochschule Köln in Germany and the Carleton College\, MN.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1739287716367{padding-top: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1739287764137{padding-top: 10px !important;}”] \nOnly One Ticket is required per viewing Device.\nIf multiple people are joining the virtual program using one computer\, please purchase only one ticket.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Digging into the Past: Roman Archaeology in Luxembourg
DESCRIPTION:With the conquest of Gaul by Caesar in the 50s BC\, the area which later became Luxembourg came under Roman rule. The land was inhabited by the Celtic tribe of the Treveri\, who repeatedly resisted Rome and were only gradually Romanized in the first decade BC\, when they were integrated into the province of Gallia Belgica as their own township\, the Civitas Treverorum. This period also saw the major Roman foundations\, such as the capital of the Civitas\, Augusta Treverorum/Trier (Germany) and the vicus Ricciacus/Dalheim (Luxembourg)\, as well as the construction of the infrastructure with the major long-distance roads\, such as the via Agrippa. \nFrom resistance and humble beginnings to the major towns and luxurious country estates to Barbarian raids and the downfall of the Roman empire\, in this talk we will explore the Roman\, or better the Gallo-roman\, history of Luxembourg through the lens of some of its major excavations in the last 150 years. \nAbout the Speaker: \nNena Sand studied Provincial Roman Archaeology and Art History at the Albert-Ludwigs University of Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) beginning in 2006. She obtained her master’s degree in 2013 with her thesis on a Gallo-roman tomb from the late first century containing Celtic grave goods found in the necropolis of Mamer-“Juckelsbësch” (Luxembourg). \nBetween 2007 and 2013\, she repeatedly worked as a student at the Centre national de recherche archéologique (which became the Insitut national de recherches archéologiques in 2022) and took part in excavations in Luxembourg and Germany. At the same time\, she gained experience as a science communicator in museums and was active as a volunteer in one of the biggest archaeological associations in Luxembourg\, the d’Georges Kayser Altertumsfuerscher. \nSince the beginning of 2016\, Nena Sand has abandoned her PHD thesis and joined the team of the Gallo-Roman department of the Insitut national de recherches archéologiques as an archaeologist and is responsible for the important Gallo-roman settlement of Dalheim. \n
