Eat, drink, and be merry in Montclair: German food (plus recipe)

STOLLEN
Natalie Colledge is the 10th generation of a family of German bakers, and part of the third generation that owns Styertowne Bakery in Clifton, well-known for traditional German pastries. "It's in my blood," said Colledge, of Montclair, and owner of Plum on Park, 14 Park St.
A recipe for German Christmas Stollen is a closely guarded secret that her father brought from Germany when he and Colledge's mother came to America in 1972.
"I've had customers who tasted it and got tears in their eyes because it reminded them of what their grandmother made," said Colledge. "It's rich, solid, dense. This is like a fruitcake to the millionth power."
The right photo is a picture of a Stollen made in in the Peaks-Damm family. Nicole Peaks prepares the treat for her family; her husband, Wolfgang Dann, is German-born Swiss.
"We have the Stollen with tea," Peaks said.
Colledge's family only makes Stollen between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with customers from all over the United States placing orders.
In Germany, her family traditionally made goose for Christmas. Here, with good goose hard to find, the family switched to duck as their main course. They also open their presents on Christmas Eve, another German tradition.

Recipe for Milwaukee feast mixes volunteers, fellowship
Dec 25, 9:22PM
After 24 years, they really do have the Christmas Family Feast down to a science.
On Wednesday, thousands of people streamed through the Wisconsin Center to savor a free festive meal, bringing joy and cheer to the quiet downtown on Christmas Day.
There was turkey and ham, green beans and sweet potatoes, pie and ice cream.
Choirs belted out Christmas standards.
And a musician named Kevin Kennedy donned a red and white suit, put on a white beard and took his place on a seat that looked a little like a throne.
Santa Claus was in the building.
"It's an awesome feeling," Kennedy said. "You've got kids and adults and you can make them all happy."
The Salvation Army of Milwaukee County was once again the host, with lots of local sponsors pitching in with support. There were other smaller, events around town, like at the Guest House of Milwaukee, where 86 men who stay at the shelter had a holiday party.
Volunteers are the key ingredient for the Family Feast, with more than 1,200 doing everything from seating visitors to clearing tables to handing out gifts. The volunteers included Gov. Scott Walker; his wife, Tonette; and sons Matt and Alex. The Walker family has volunteered at the event for 11 straight years.
"The last few years it has gotten bigger, which probably reflects on the economy," Walker said, taking a brief timeout from putting pats of butter on rolls. "Talking to people here, you see not only folks in need in terms of food, you see a lot of folks in need in terms of family and fellowship. So this becomes an extended family."
That extended family could be seen at dinner tables, complete strangers sharing meals and conversations.
Lisbeth Maturin; her husband, Miguel Moure; and their four young children were seated with Norma Anwar and her two middle-age sons.
"We wanted to do something special for the kids," Maturin said.
Anwar said she enjoyed the food but especially enjoyed the spirit of the event.
"It brings Christmas back," Anwar said.
Anwar's older son, Marlon, said the event provided "a beautiful experience. This is the chance to say hello to a lot of people."
A 3-year-old named Donovan Webb celebrated his Christmas Day birthday with his mom, Latonya, and other family and friends.
"This was a good year," Latonya Webb said.
East siders Marilyn Kruger and Kim Morgan bumped into one another at the event. Kruger enjoyed Christmas morning, visiting her grandchildren and attending a religious service. The feast, she said, capped "a wonderful holiday season."
Morgan said many people may be struggling through the year, but the feast serves as a way "to make the community come together."
Back in the kitchen, the staff was busy making up parcels of food that were to be taken to shelters around the city.
Between the people who attended the feast and the food parcels, about 10,000 meals were made under the supervision of chefs Gus Kelly, a veteran of the feast, and Bob Ilk, who was volunteering at the event for the first time.
The pair taught together for years at Milwaukee Area Technical College and worked easily under great pressure in the kitchen on Christmas Day.
"Bob can take over next year and I'll be his helper," Kelly said.
Don Rosette, the former longtime general manager of WMCS-AM (1290), was back for another year. It was Rosette and the station who helped get the first feast off the ground in only 55 days and helped it grow through the years.
"The Salvation Army has taken the reins and it's going well," Rosette said. "It's a tradition now."
President Xi Jinping's recipe
Dec 25, 8:15PM
By Anne-Marie Slaughter/Washington, DC
China's government is cracking down hard on Western journalists, threatening not to renew visas for reporters from the New York Times and Bloomberg in retaliation for their reporting on the corruption of senior Chinese officials. Times columnist Thomas Friedman recently penned an open letter to the Chinese government telling them that, because the top "cause of death of Chinese regimes in history is greed and corruption," a free press is more likely to help than hurt.
Anyone who holds freedom of the press and freedom of expression to be universal human rights will agree with Friedman's position. But, in China, politics – including the politics of rights – is always intertwined with economics.
Last month, President Xi Jinping announced a set of sweeping economic reforms at the Central Committee's Third Plenum, setting forth his vision of "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." His 60-point plan included reforms of fiscal policy and the financial sector that would set market interest rates on loans and deposits, permit some private-investor participation in state-owned enterprises, increase the role of small and medium-size enterprises, loosen labour restrictions, and introduce property taxes to boost revenue for local authorities.
This renewed embrace of the market, reminiscent of Deng Xiaoping's original turn to capitalism in 1979, will be hard medicine for China's entrenched business and government elites to swallow. If Xi's administration is successful – a big if – its reforms may enable China to negotiate the necessary transition from an economy driven by exports and government investment to a more sustainable growth model based on domestic consumption.
The stakes are high. A country that has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty over the last two decades must now find a way to safeguard and gradually increase those gains while engineering the same miracle for the hundreds of millions still left behind. The world has a significant economic, political, and moral interest in the success of China's reform agenda.
In this context, it is important to understand that Xi's economic reforms are only one ingredient of a carefully crafted cocktail. The rest of the recipe includes two parts popular social reforms – an end to the one-child policy for many Chinese parents and the abolition of "reeducation through labour" – and one part political crackdown. Increased censorship and intimidation of foreign journalists, together with the imprisonment of dissidents and tighter restrictions on dissent, are an effort to ensure that economic disruption does not give rise to political rebellion.
To implement his ambitious reform agenda, Xi has taken several steps to consolidate his personal and bureaucratic power. He has reduced the membership of the Politburo from nine to seven, making it easier to obtain agreement in a system designed to institutionalise collective leadership. He has increased the power of the Central Committee, which he chairs. And he has created a new State Security Council.
To understand how the State Security Council could serve Xi's interest in centralising power, consider the United States. Without the National Security Council and the Domestic Policy Council, the US president would have no routine way to control and co-ordinate different bureaucracies. White House staff working for the National Security Council call meetings at which officials from the State Department, Defense Department, Treasury, Justice Department, and other key agencies hash out their views on a given policy. But it is the president's staff who guide the outcome and determines the next steps.
Xi's moves to strengthen his hand have helped to convince observers that he means business with the reform agenda. Since the Third Plenum ended and the scope of Xi's reforms has become clear, many China watchers have hailed him as the most transformative leader since Deng. Time will tell, but a key difference between 2014 and 1979 is that today the Chinese cocktail is spiked with fear.
Evan Osnos, writing in The New Yorker, reports that two years ago, in the midst of the Arab uprisings, a senior official told a meeting in Beijing that if the Chinese government "waver(ed)" in the midst of social-media-fueled global dissidence, "the state could sink into the abyss." Recently, Osnos writes, a high-level Chinese diplomat explained the threatened expulsion of New York Times and Bloomberg journalists on the grounds that "the Times and Bloomberg were seeking nothing short of removing the Communist Party from power, and that they must not be allowed to continue."
That fear is one of the principal forces driving Xi's reform agenda. The Communist Party must keep the Chinese economy growing (even if more slowly), while fighting rampant corruption and responding to citizens' demands.
