The Sanctuary in Polish Hill Honors Thesis Annabelle Marie Harsch Department: English Advisor: Meredith Doench, Ph.D. May 2021 The Sanctuary in Polish Hill Honors Thesis Annabelle Marie Harsch Department: English Advisor: Meredith Doench, Ph.D. May 2021 Abstract The Sanctuary in Polish Hill, a short story cycle set in the late 1900s to 2008, surrounds a women’s shelter in Polish Hill, Pittsburgh, PA. Ruta Laksa, a second-generation Polish immigrant, moves to the neighborhood named for the influx of Polish immigrants in the late 1800s. Through vignettes of her life, Ruta finds solace in food and community as she struggles with her mental illness. Scattered throughout her own story are vignettes of other women struggling with their own mental illness and those who seek solace and safety. These women build community with each other through food, conversation, and relationship, allowing these characters to be understood and seen as human without the strain of mental illness stigma. The Sanctuary welcomes all and the characters’ humanity shines through their mental illness while the Sanctuary offers each character a respite and the chance to heal. Disclaimer Recipes within The Sanctuary in Polish Hill can be found on the Polish Housewife website and the Barefoot in the Kitchen website. Acknowledgements Thanks to the University of Dayton and the Honors Program for this opportunity. Thanks to Dr. Doench, Dr. Wilhoit, and Dr. Slade for their help in the research and writing process of this thesis. A special thanks to family and friends for their eternal support and encouragement.

Fifteen minutes until dinnertime, all-purpose flour and chunks of left-over dough from the hand-mixed, hand-rolled pierogi covered the white, acrylic kitchen countertops. Kielbasa purchased from Smallman Street Deli fried in a cast iron skillet, buried deep in sauerkraut and marinara. The plastic wrappings from the deli curled on the counter. Pierogi boiled on the stove. Water sputtered out of the pot to land on the otherwise perfectly clean stove top. Potato skins covered the basin of the sink. A ten-seater oak dining table filled the empty space in the kitchen, squashed in between two walls. At the table, seven place settings, a vase of yellow tulips from the backyard picked from the earth with little-boy hands. An empty salad bowl. A sippy cup. A highchair. The refrigerator door opened and from behind the white, art-work decorated door, Ruta Laksa dug through the Tupperware and plastic Heinz bottles. She hummed, grabbed salad dressing, and set it on the dining table. Turning back to the stove, she plucked a marinara–stained wooden spoon from the counter and stirred the kapusta. Ruta’s mother bragged about the secret ingredients in the kapusta and pierogi, and now Ruta gets endless grief from her girls for not telling them about those ingredients. This was her great-great-grandmother’s recipe, passed down for generations—straight from Poland. A door slammed upstairs. Tiny feet thundered across the hall—Wyatt. A little-boy scream of surprise. A laugh. Ruta smiled to herself and gently dumped the cooked pierogi into a strainer in the sink. Sometimes she wondered about how different her life would be if she took a regular job downtown, how different the rooms of this building would be if she worked in business or medicine. Without Ruta where would her girls go? She loved them, as she should. All she did, she did for her girls. They were an anchor to her, and she to them. A brace. A cool breeze on a sweltering day. She gave her girls all they’d want. All she’d ever wanted and had: safety and love. So, for as long as they needed, Ruta would be their mother and make them stronger when they returned to their crumbling families and dilapidated walls. And food was her medicine. Ruta snuck a slice of kielbasa from the kapusta in the skillet, careful not to burn her mouth or drop sauce on the floor. She glanced at the clock above the table. The old, pale yellow paint peeled away from the wall, leaving the clock suspended between security and collapse. Ruta had this woman’s shelter in Polish Hill for almost 20 years, each day filled with laughter, anger, fear, but each day filled, nonetheless, to house those women against stretching paychecks, broken vows, and tears. Her girls had come and gone, leaving promises to visit, to change, to live. Laughter from upstairs drifted down to the kitchen, one laugh louder than the rest— Denise had come home for dinner. A different daughter visited every Tuesday for those pierogi. With one last sprinkle of salt in the kapusta, Ruta turned to the fridge and took out a pre- packaged bag of salad, dumped it in the bowl on the table, and untied her apron. “Dinner!” Page | 4 And Ruta watched her girls enter the kitchen. Page | 5 HEATHER AND WYATT The screen door slammed, shouts echoing behind her. Heather braced a hand on the railing, waiting for her heart and breath to steady. The past half hour swirled around her, screams still hitting her at the backs of her knees. Quiet sniffles broke through the pounding in her ears. Wyatt. Wyatt slumped against the vinyl panels of the house with his knees to his chest, head bent, his blond curls covering his face. Her own heartbeat. Her second love. Tugging her sleeves around the fading bruises on her wrists, she walked over to Wyatt, her socked feet snagging on the splintering wood of the porch. She wrapped her arms around her son. “Oh, love.” His small, red-rimmed eyes found hers and he buried his head in her chest as sobs shook his little body, bringing tears to her eyes again. No child ever deserved words like that— especially from his father, who had covered him in hugs and kisses only a year ago. For a six- year-old, there was always this firm, naïve belief that a child’s parents were strong protectors. A link of iron connected parent to child. Parents were suppliers of magic and adventure, of peace and friendship. It was a day thrown in disbelief when the magic disappeared. Heather stroked his head of blond curls the same shade as hers. Too long, she’d have to cut it soon. He lifted his head but avoided her eyes. “Is Daddy not our friend anymore?” Wyatt played with the button on her shirt. A small tear drifted down his face. Heather brushed the tear away and looked out at the skyline of Pittsburgh and the darkening sky, already filled with purples and reds. “Friend?” Was he? Truth or lie? A moment of reassurance or a lifetime of devastation? She settled for the middle. “I think so.” Wyatt nodded. I think so held the potential for hope again. It was almost definite. A mother’s mind, to her son, was built on certainty. She could never be wrong—to him. A door slammed from inside their house. Heather and Wyatt jumped. For what seemed like the fifth time in the last half hour, Heather’s stomach began to churn and a wave of cold ran through her body. She held tight to Wyatt. His small fists gripped her shirt. Seconds passed in an awful, tense silence, doors slamming, heavy footsteps echoing through their small two-story. The past year hadn’t been good to them. Or the country, really. The economy plummeted and millions of people lost their jobs. The Great Recession of 2008, that’s what they’re calling it. Roger has been home more than he normally would, and stress was inevitable. But this? Mother and son terrified to go back inside, jumping at every sound, scrambling for a distraction. Being Page | 6 lost in your own house should be reserved for families with 100 rooms, not a family with two tiny bedrooms and cracks in the walls. “I don’t want to go back inside.” “I know.” Heather looked him in the eye. “We’ll stay out here as long as you want.” Wyatt nodded again. “Can we stay out all night?” Heather bit her lip and considered the small, fading bruises on her arms, Wyatt’s red face. Roger’s anger at them raising the alarm if they leave. “I don’t think so, love. Daddy will want us back inside.” Wyatt’s quiet okay cracked her heart clean open. She would’ve left months ago, if only until the recession blew over, but it would have been betrayal for Wyatt.

  • Nisse Explore Gardens
    Nissen Explore Gardens "Nisse gutt " Hans and "nisse gutt " Jens had always been interested in gardening. TheyThrough the centuries the Vikings, Greeks and Egyptians and many others had raised and had used garlic for health benefits. Hans and Jens laughed about the folklore that told that wearing a garlic necklace would keep vampires away! Garlic was said to increase strength to have helped pyramid builders and soldiers going off to battle. Nissen had learned that there are some 300 strains of garlic grown worldwide. The plant produces small bulbs known as cloves that can be long or stubby; the colors range from white to purplish. Common garlic, of the lily family, is related to onions and chives. It has quite an odor so Mama Nisse would usually remove the green sprout in the center of the clove. To get rid of garlic breath, nissen would chew parlsey or a coffee bean - they wanted to smell clean! Hans and Jens like the elephant garlic, too, because it was milder - in fact, not garlic! Of the leek family and larger in size than garlic, nissen didn't think it looked at all like elephants they had seen while traveling! Hans and Jens had a favorite spice, cardamon, an exotic import that Mamma Nisse used in fancy bread baking. Pappa Nisse had told them that Viking sailors brought the spice home from the Viking voyages or raids of over 1,000 years earlier. "Kardemomme" pods would give off such a sweet fragrance when roasting in the oven. With their tiny fingers they helped with the shelling and crushing of the tiny seeds.

Compiled historical data between the years 2007 and 2015 proves that the problem has been present for at least 8 years with many batches that does not live up to current quality standards. The compiled historical data followed a pattern with lower or higher apparent viscosity in periods, and not as single and irregular values. Packages of rose hip soup were analysed during two production occasions and no relations between apparent viscosity and brix, pH, total acid concentration or vitamin C concentration were found.
