Here are a few of the interesting tidbits he shared. The Amish differ in how strictly they follow customs. Old Order Amish have no electricity or phones because they don't want to tie into the power lines and be dependent on the rest of the world. For light, they use oil or gas lanterns. But they do go to grocery stores to supplement their food supply.
Meals are often starchy-potatoes, noodles, and corn are served together.
This tradition is left over from the days when most Amish farmed and needed the extra energy. Although some Amish ways seem foreign, we realize that the hearty food and the rural lifestyle Daniel has described is similar to that of our fore- fathers. In every culture, there are memories that say home and family. For Naomi, it's food. We're glad Naomi and Daniel were willing to share some of their traditions, memories, and recipes.
