The AMISH to the rescue!!

Ate once at a Amish restaraunt in northern Indiana near Elkhart. Best home style cooking I have ever had. Did some business with some Amish in Wisconsin once for some hand made leather work, they are like the last group of people that do that kind of stuff on a daily basis. Totally amazing handiwork and great people to talk to.

GO BUSH

In my hometown, Lancaster, PA, there was a drive-in diner run by some Amish folks (talk about a cultural conflict). They would tie their buggy up in the back.

When you got a sandwhich, it was thick sliced home-made bread piled high with baked ham, etc. Milk shakes were just that- Real ice cream and whole milk. Freedom Fries were fresh cut double fried to get them crisp. Mmmmmmmmmm! Real food. We were called 'English', as we were not plain folks.

My next door neighbors were Mennonites. Mrs. Mellinger used to make a pumpkin roll....thin sheet of pumpkin cake rolled up around some fresh buttercream. Oh...I'm drooling just thinking about it. And then there were the Fastnachts (donuts without a hole). Fried in lard of course. Wow.

Anyway, go out and vote!

AMISH TO THE RESCUE? I wouldn't be too sure about that. The Amish are hard core pacifist. I know this first hand having worshipped with and lived for a time with them down here in Seymour MO. They want nothing to do with war.They are decent people though who work hard and enjoy their life.
