In reply to Kathy. Kathy, I am not actually sure anymore just what that recipe is, or I would gladly share it. I think they are called thumbprint cookies or jam print, or something like that. :)

At this rate Mennonites don’t make very good disciples (Paul, in 1 Cor 9 -“I keep under my body..”. and Proverbs 23…) Good humor piece that tells on us! And if you visit the doctor or the dentist before 50 years…???

This post wins! Allow me the luxury of eating good Mennonite food while my metabolism still tolerates it!

Very clever. Very cute. :)

I never thought of my appetite as being a result of historical injustice against my people. But now that you say it it all makes perfect sense; fat Mennonites are not gluttons, but victims of anxieties created by past persecution and probably owed some kind of compensation from somebody. Unfortunately nobody can make shoo-fly pie as good as us, so I guess only loads and loads of money can fix this injustice. I say we all protest by downing another half dozen fresh oily donuts, then some sauerkraut, scrapple and whatever else we can uncan from the hidden away cellar stores. Some protest by starvation, but that’s foolish because you could die before getting your message across and hungry people get all wimpery, let’s be more committed than that, so we can bellow with our rolls: MEATLOAF!!! I DEMAND MORE MEATLOAF!!!

Wow, am I ever hungry…
