MILWAUKEE’S HOLIDAY FOLK FAIR Internationalcelebrates its 70th anniversary Nov. 22-24, onceagain providing the opportunity to travel aroundthe globe without airline tickets, hotel reservationsor jet lag.
Held in the Wisconsin Exposition Center atWisconsin State Fair Park, 8200 W. Greenfield Ave.,the three-day celebration features tantalizing foods,irresistible music, intriguing dance performancesand a vast array of exhibits and merchandise.
Produced by the International Institute ofWisconsin, the Milwaukee-based nonprofit socialservice organization dedicated to racial, culturaland ethnic understanding, the award-winningevent is one of the oldest and largest festivals of itskind. Fair-goers have the opportunity to learn theways in which music, food, dance, and art explain aculture’s history and traditions.
This year’s theme is “Celebrate the Culture ofCommunity.” Al Durtka, president of theInternational Institute, explains that “folklore” or“folk life” is the living expression of culture woveninto everyday life – anyone’s culture – learned andpassed on informally from person to person. It mustbe alive and current to be folk life, even though itmay have existed over long stretches of time.
“This intangible cultural heritage refers to traditionsor living expressions inherited from our ancestorsand passed on to our descendents,” says Durtka.

Especially during the holidays, we love to headnorth to historic Cedarburg, just 30 minutesnorth of downtown.
A new favorite stop is ELVIA’S ARTE-GALLERY BOUTIQUE, located at theWashington Avenue Shoppes, W62 N590Washington Ave., in the heart of Cedarburg.Owner Elvia Pena-Savage creates beautifulworks of art in watercolors, acrylics and oils.The colors used in the abstract artworks rangefrom strident bolds to dreamlike pales, butevery artwork beckons to the visitor. Clearly,the longer you spend with Penn-Savage’s work,the more you see. An example of her artwork ison the following page. Contact the gallery at262-388-4507.
Also in Cedarburg, don’t miss THE PINKLLAMA GALLERY (thepinkllama.com) whichhas an address of W62 N580 Washington Ave.,but is entered through the rear porch across thestreet from the red and white pagoda. Thegallery features fine art, accessories and more.
CEDAR CREEK POTTERY in Cedarburg’sCedar Creek Settlement features handcraftedwork of artists from Wisconsin and beyond.Also in the historic Settlement, LA DIVA offersjewelry crafted by the owner and features art-work that is perfect for gifts.

and tricking the eye. Owner Bette Langford says,“Things aren't always how they appear to be!”From Nov. 22-Dec. 23, the Arch Gallery Showroomwill be transformed into a mini Holiday GiftBoutique.
Popular Music Under Glass begins fifth season at the Domes
MUSIC UNDER GLASS, the popular series ofconcerts at Milwaukee County’s landmark horti-cultural domes, opens its fifth season Nov. 7 andcontinues every Thursday through April 3,including Thanksgiving.
Held in the show dome from 6:30-9:30 p.m., theconcerts include light shows set to music andplayed during breaks and following each perfor-mance. About 14,000 people enjoyed the 2012-13concert series and this season’s lineup is expectedto bring a new high in attendance.
“Music Under Glass celebrates area talent andbrings music and culture to our residents,” saidMilwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. “Thisis an amazing weekly event that transforms TheDomes into a fall and winter ‘getaway.’”
New this year is an area in the lobbywith information tables staffed by com-munity non-profit groups. Each week anew group will explain its mission andhow the public can become involved.
“In addition to taking in great perfor-mances, seeing spectacular light showsand exploring a ‘Milwaukee’s LivingLandmark,’ the public can becomeaware of all the great opportunities thenon-profits offer,” said John Dargle,interim parks director. “Concert-goerswill be introduced to a variety of organi-zations and will learn how theirinvolvement can make our community abetter place.”
The concert series is completely fundedthrough partnerships. Funding partners,including WaterStone Bank, VMP, BlueMoon Brewing Company and Friends ofThe Domes, will have informationbooths in the lobby.
During the run of the concert series, twoof the most popular floral shows will beon display in the show dome.
Beginning Nov. 23, “Nutcracker Suite”brings a floral reinterpretation of theholiday classic. And starting Jan. 18, thegarden train show called “Gas lampExpress” features G-scale trains runningover more than 600 feet of track, sur-rounded by a landscape created withminiature plants.
Completed in 1967, the unique threebeehive-shaped horticultural domes at524 S. Layton Blvd. quickly became alandmark for visitors to Milwaukee. In2008, a new LED lighting system illumi-nated the domes nightly and led todevelopment of light shows inside theshow dome.
Admission to Music Under Glass isunchanged from the past season: $6.50for adults and $5 for youth 6-17. Foodand beverages are available for pur-chase from the Zilli Hospitality Group.
For additional information, visit countyparks.com or call the Domes at 414-257-5611.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH
WHILE MAHARAJA has been Milwaukee’s foremostIndian restaurant for 16 years, its original owners,Balbir Singh and Baldev Bolla, believed it was time fora change – nothing drastic, but an updating to meetthe needs of a changing clientele.
“We saw new dining trends and felt we needed tomake changes to stay on top,” said Balbir’s son,Prince Singh, who is leading the changes at the popular restaurant at 1550 N. Farwell Ave. onMilwaukee’s near east side.
Maharaja’s commitment to authentic, traditionalNorth and South Indian cuisine has not changed, butearlier this year the menu was slimmed down frommore than 200 dishes to 66, each with its own flavorprofile. The chosen 66 dishes are the most popular,pleasing “regulars” and already attracting “a lot ofnew faces,” says Singh.
Some of the menu items are now featured as specialson specific days. In addition, a new wine list is beingintroduced, along with new cocktails and craft beers.Still to come are physical changes both outside andinside the restaurant that is just minutes from down-town hotels.
A popular luncheon buffet that is consistently ranked
among the top in the city continues to delightdiners daily and offers choices for meat-loversand vegetarians. The dinner menu also offerslamb, chicken, seafood and vegetable appetizersand entrees.
The subtle and exotic flavors of Indian food comefrom the array of spices that are used, includingcardamom, cinnamon, clove, coriander, nutmegand saffron. There is a range of “heat” in Indianfood, so whether you like your food with a bit ofbite or not, count on lots of options.
The dining experience at Maharaja begins withthin, crispy Papadam made from gram flowerand black pepper, served with spicy onion, mintand sweet chutneys. It comes promptly after youare seated, a luscious introduction to what is tocome. Appetizer choices at dinner include friedPakora, vegetable, cheese or chicken dipped inchick pea batter; catfish marinated in yogurt andspices or the renowned Samosa, a fried pastrystuffed with spiced potatoes and green peas.
The Mulligatawny Soup combines lentils andvegetables, while Coconut Soup combinescoconut with cream, pistachios and more. Thereare a number of other Indian specialty breads list-ed on the menu that can be ordered, includingversions stuffed with ingredients such as potatoesor nuts and raisins.
“Roasted in the Tandoor” describes an Indianspecialty involving aromatic herbs, culturedyogurt and ground fresh spices basted on foodsthat are then roasted in a charcoal clay oven
59
(Tandoor). The result is lean meat with amazingtenderness. Order chicken, lamb, shrimp or try alittle bit of everything with the Tandoori MixedGrill.
At Maharaja, dinners are served with Basmati Rice.Curries can be ordered to the diner’s choice of“heat” – mild, medium or spicy – and are availablein chicken, lamb, vegetable, fish or goat versions.
Some menu choices are now offered on specificdays. Examples are Chicken Mango (Fridaynights), boneless chicken cooked in an onion, gar-lic, ginger and mango sauce, and ChickenMakhani (Tuesday nights), boneless Tandoorichicken in butter and cream sauce.
The Southern Indian menu includes Chicken TikkaDosa, crispy rice crepes filled with roasted chicken,and Fish Moly, a catfish filet simmered in coconutmilk and curry leaves.
A review of the menu at Maharaja reveals why vegetarians seek out Indian cuisine. The lengthylist includes Baingan Bhartha, eggplant baked overan open flame, mashed and then sauteed withonions, garlic, ginger and other spices.
Maharaja has a full bar serving cocktails, wines andbeers that include India’s King Fisher, Taj Mahal,Flying Horse and Maharaja. As part of the updat-ing, many craft beers are now available. The restau-rant also makes its own Masala or Chai Tea,brewed with spices, milk and sugar.
There is a parking lot across Farwell for Maharajacustomers. The restaurant also offers a banquet hallfor various occasions with room for up to 90..Hours are 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. every day, 5-10 p.m.Sun.-Thur. and 5-10:30 p.m. Fri. & Sat. daily.
