Junie Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 It was just more bland than I expected. The dinner and company were lovely, though! And I DO love the desserts!!! I had just started driving for the Amish community when we decided to move. You were/are Amish? Is it okay to even ask that? No, I'm not Amish and never have been. But, there is a lot of Amish influence on food where I grew up (south-central Pennsylvania). A few years ago I found out that my step-dad's grandfather was Mennonite. My dad never knew because the family had left the church. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 My first movie in a theater was Bambi when I was 3 (re-release, not 1940s!). I fell asleep and was probably 10 before I learned what happened at the end. I'm glad I didn't know because I loved it so much. I think I'm going to have an antacid, ice cream bar, and potato chips for dinner. Everything else sounds like butt. And I'll eat it while watching Orange is the New Black while everyone else sleeps. We have lots of bees for my cucumbers, fwiw. Maybe they prefer my flowers, but they are all over the place when I deadhead. Hope you feel better Ikslo! :grouphug: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done it yet. He will be 33 next week. I know! You can do it for when he'll be 2x18. Your kid is older than I am. Born the same month/year though.

Thinking about you guys being the same age as my kid makes me feel like the grandma here!! And the odd thing is, that he actually has a kid who's 3-4 years older than my oldest, so you're already used to being a grandma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Around me, that would be because the Dutch being referred to is Pennsylvania Dutch, aka Amish/old Order Mennonite; it's a derivative of Deutsch, not Dutch. So, yeah, it wouldn't be the same. Also, their pot pie is not pot pie. It's butt. Okay, care to share a GOOD recipe for pot pie? I like good pot pie, but haven't had any in a couple of decades.

AMJ Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 You know what I want right now? I want my grandmother's plums from the plum tree that used to grow next to their property. Technically, it belonged to the neighbors, but the neighbors were often gone in the summer on camping jaunts and had no problem with ruffians pawing over their fruit trees for the ones the wasps didn't get. They were tiny, perfect little sweets, and so juicy. I think I'm putting plum trees on my "want" list for gardening. I don't need blueberries, blackberries, or peaches (all locally available in season) but nobody has good plums. We had trees that produced little cherry-sized plums on the family farm. When the trees got full Mom would call Aunts Mary & Joan, and they would come pick like crazy, then take them home to make wine and jam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I think The Little Mermaid was the first movie I saw in the theatre. My Dad had to take me out be ause I started screaming hysterically when Ursula turned gigantic. When I was about 7 or so my brother and I were allowed to see a movie in the theater without accompanying parents. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. When the giant squid attacked the Nautilus I ran up the aisle, through the swinging doors at the back, and watched the rest of the movie through the gap in the doors, next to the usher. My brother (age 9) hurried up the aisle when the movie was over until he saw where I was, then he nonchalantly sauntered the rest of the way to me and made typical big-brother remarks about me being scared (to show he wasn't). He then told Dad all about it when we went for our usual post-movie ice cream cones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I forgot to mention pancakes: http://joylovefood.com/dutch-pancakes/ Personally, I put the savory or sweet things in the pan before pouring the batter over it, rather than immediately after, but I suppose either way works. I also put the cheese (if I use it) on the batter right away, not when it's almost dry. I've never tried broccoli, spinach, bananas or blueberries, and I don't think I've ever encountered those options in NL (though these things are things you can buy in the supermarket, so surely *some* people have used them, because really, you can make pancakes with pretty much anything). Other common things not listed in the article are onions, peas, maybe bell peppers or tomatoes, raisins (can combine with the apple), and I've also done plain but with sugar on top right after putting the batter in the pan, same as with cheese. When you flip them, the sugar or cheese will stick at first, but after a while I won't really stick (I strongly prefer non-stick pans for this... in theory a hot and well-oiled regular pan should work, but...). Also, don't use maple syrup - nobody in NL does that. Normally, you'd use syrup made from sugar beets, which is hard to find here, but just regular sugar syrup is close enough. Of course, you *can* use maple syrup... it's just not Dutch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how authentic the food actually was, but my Mom loved going there for the decor. She had a Danish pen pal when she was a teen -- Mom got to visit her when she went to Europe for a bit. Mom collected blue Danish Christmas plates ever since and would collect Danish and Dutch knick knacks.

luuknam Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hans Brinker was a favorite story in our house every winter. Written by an American in 1865, translated to Dutch in 1867. While she didn't come up with the story of the finger in the dike, the popularity of her book did cause it to be some import-folklore in NL, and we even made some statues of the boy with his finger in the dike to appease the tourists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Brinker,_or_The_Silver_Skates 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
