Well if its in the realm of the Amish I would like to know more about the faith of the Amish, their style of worship, how these seem to be incorportated in their regular lives. In other words Not just on Sunday sort of thing. Also(not to be antagonistic)why they keep it to themselves. Why they follow the Bible except the part where Jesus says go into all the world and tell the good news. I don't mean to be disrespectful there. I admire the culture and wish I had the nerve to leave everything behind and live as they do but I want to know. Enjoy your trip to Kansas! Speaking of recipes is there anything Germanic that is healthy for you? I love the food. Much of what I know is that it is very heavy. And unless I'm building barns or working on the farm I don't need it. I'm fighting the weight, blood pressure, and Cholesterol battle (and winning).
