ZUPET, Ivanka “Iva” (née Vesel)

January 25, 1931 — June 26, 2024

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Ivanka Zupet, of Kelowna, BC, on June 26, 2024. She passed away peacefully at the age of 93. She was born in Loški Potok, Slovenia, on January 25, 1931, to Janez and Alojzija Vesel.

Left to treasure her memory are her son Ed (Margo); daughter Valerie (Barry); grandchildren Selina (Chris), Michelle (Alex), and Lance; nephew John; sister Ani in Slovenia; and extended family members in Canada and Slovenia. She was predeceased by her husband Slavko; grandson Dallas; and her sisters Tončka, Mimi and Karla.

Ivanka’s early years growing up in Slovenia in the depression and WWII were hard. Because her mother was widowed when Ivanka was young, she went to work to help support the family, starting with a job cutting down trees in the bush, then in a sawmill. This hard life helped make her tough and strong. This was the foundation that gave Ivanka the resilience to build a new life with Slavko and Ed in Canada, taking all the hardships in stride. And, despite the adversities, she was always grateful and cheerful.

Mom was one of those unsung heroes, never seeking credit or accolades, but working tirelessly in the background, sacrificing for the benefit of others. She believed in giving of herself for the good of others and was truly an example of selflessness. Mom’s example of service and love is her greatest legacy. For years, she gave to the Slovenian Canadian Association in Edmonton, cooking in the kitchen for events and billeting guest performers. She worked both inside and outside the home. A traditional wife and mother, her work was never done, yet she managed to soldier on with resolve, strengthened by her faith – which she held true all her life.

Family was the most important to mom; she always put family first. Whether it was a casual visit or a special celebration, having family together was mom’s joy.

Mom enjoyed singing and dancing. She was an amazing cook and baker, whose skills were celebrated by all who had the pleasure of experiencing the food she made. When she turned 60 years young, she courageously attended an adult literacy program, where she flourished. She loved writing in prose and poetry, expressing her gift through imagery. Mom loved being in nature and especially loved trees and sitting on the balcony watching the birds at the bird feeder. She looked forward to going out for coffee every day and always liked to be nicely dressed in a coordinated outfit.

Mom’s Slovenian maiden name was “Vesel” which means happy, cheerful, and joyful; and she was all that. In addition to having a great sense of humour, she was positive, caring, and kind to others. She touched the hearts and lives of everyone she met. Mom was liked and respected by all and will be fondly remembered for her words of wisdom, her ever-present beautiful, loving smile, and her positive attitude that brought sunshine and good will to others. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Slovenske jedi v preteklosti so bile preproste. Na to je vplivala tudi takratna tehnologija kuhanja. V tradicionalni slovenski kuhinji so uporabljali izključno domače pridelke. Sestavine so običajno porabili v celoti. Jabolčne olupke so na primer sušili in uporabili za čaj. Značilno je tudi, da so Slovenci uživali vse vrste mesa. V Beli krajini in na Primorskem so uživali tudi drobnico, v vseh pokrajinah pa se je največkrat uživalo svinjino. Pogostejša vrsta mesa je bila tudi perutnina. Na Martinovo so običajno pripravljali pečeno gos, raco, purana, petelina ali kokoš. Na Dolenjskem in Notranjskem so jedli polhe in celo ježe. Vse do račje kuge v 19. stoletju so na Notranjskem lovili tudi rake. Pomembno je omeniti, da se je meso na krožnikih Slovencev pojavilo redko, navadno le ob nedeljah in praznikih. Za Slovence je bil eden od največjih praznikov dan kolin, ko so na kmetijah pripravljali krvavice, pečenice, kranjske klobase, jetrnice, slanino, ocvirke, zaseko in znamenite slovenske želodce.
Zanimivo je izpostaviti tudi, da naši predniki niso bili veliki ljubitelji zelenjave. Najbolj pogosto so uživali fermentirane izdelke, kot so kislo zelje in kisla repo, ter zelenjavo, kot je surovo zelje, fižol, bob, kumare, buče v Istri tudi jajčevce. Kislo zelje je bilo običajno pogosto na mizi. Včasih so ga mešali tudi z ostalimi sestavinami, kot je meso, smetana ali kaša. Uporabljali so ga tudi kot polnilo za štruklje. Pri pripravi hrane so uporabljali tradicionalne začimbe, kot so žajbelj, timijan, šetraj, lovor, majaron, meta, melisa in tudi uvožena poper in cimet. Tudi način shranjevanja hrane je bil precej različen od današnjega. Hrano so na primer konzervirali kar v masti, zaseki in sladkorju ali jo sušili v dimniku, na peči ali preprosto na zraku.
Slovenska ljudska kuhinja je bila kalorična, mnoge jedi so bile težje prebavljive. Uživali so veliko živalskih maščob, predvsem svinjsko mast, močnate jedi, maslo, smetano in jajca. Tudi gobe nabrane v bližnjem gozdu so bile dostikrat na jedilniku. Zelenjave, z izjemo kislega zelja ali repe pa je bilo na krožnikih naših prednikov razmeroma malo. Takšen način priprave in sestave jedi bi danes uvrstili, kot nezdravo prehrano. Najverjetneje pa je bilo pri Slovencih v preteklosti tako, da je kmečko prebivalstvo s trdim, po navadi celodnevnim delom presežek kalorij »pokurilo«, med tem ko so se meščani redili in umirali od kapi ter drugih bolezni. Ker danes, le malo ljudi opravlja težko fizično delo, in tudi ker se vse bolj zavedamo pomena zdravega načina priprave jedi, so se tudi tradicionalni recepti za pripravo avtohtonih jedi prilagodili tem smernicam. Namesto masti na primer danes uporabljamo olje, namesto svinjine, raje izberemo perutnino ali teletino. Za razliko od naših prednikov, ki so si na krožnik naložili kup zabeljenih žgancev in jih prelili s polnomastnim mlekom, si lahko sodobni Slovenci, zaradi narave dela in drugačnega življenjskega sloga, privoščimo manjšo količino žgancev, brez zabele in jih prelijemo z manj mastnim mlekom ali jogurtom.

In the Heart of Europe
Where the Alps meet the Mediterranean and the Pannonian Plain meets the Karst, there is Slovenia. This small green country extends in the area of 20,273 km2. It is one of the countries with an exceptional number of top athletes and rich cultural creation. In Slovenia it is not difficult to compare the value of goods and services, as they are priced in one of the most important world currencies – in euros.
