Good Morning Everyone,

Jean's recipe sounds delicious. If you make one of Jean's dishes, take a picture, so I can put it on here.

It is in the 30's today.

Hi Folks,

If you get a change to go to Amish America this morning, it is about a lady at Pinecraft named Katie Troyer. She is a small person that takes pictures at Pinecraft. It tells of her life and work. I think you would enjoy it and getting to know Katie.

Hi Marilyn,
I have been keeping quiet reading here, but now I will speak up! First of all, if you are on Facebook, you can friend Katie. Her blog is such fun and she is amazing!!! I look forward to meeting up with her in heaven someday so we can chat away!!!
Secondly, I love reading you blog! It is wonderful. I have an Amish friend down in Avoca, but have found myself curious about the Mennonites. One reason is because when my maternal grandfather's ancestors came to America in the 1700's from Germany, they were either Mennonites or Quakers. An interesting aside is that one man did some surveying for William Penn and was given 100 acres of land in what is Germantown by Penn. The man never laid claim to the land, however!
I live not far from Bristol Mountain, so reading is like seeing things in my "own backyard"!
Marilyn, I also love taking photos and have many on my blog www.bristolwood.net that were taken on the east side of Canandaigua Lake on down toward Penn Yan. I love seeing the beautiful Mennonite homes....I noticed they have taken some run down properties and made them beautiful! They are a blessed people and a blessing!

Hi Katya,

I do have facebook, but I don't know how to friend anyone. All the friends I have came to me. I would like to chat with Katie.

You have quite a family history. I have your tried to find out. That was interesting about the land.

You don't live far from me. I went to see your bristolwood. I love your doggie.

Hi Marilyn,

If you go to your Facebook page, there is a box on the top of the page, saying look for people. If you type in Katie Troyer, her page will come up. There is a blue box that will either say "add friend". I'm not sure if Katie has to approve it or not, but she is pretty quick usually. Hope this helps!

Hello Katya,

Thank you for telling me what to do. I did as you said. I hope Katie approves me. I have e-mailed talked to her a couple of times. She seems like someone I would really like to know.

This looks like another good German recipe. I like the addition on diced tomatoes. Thank you for posting it.
