    This is from an old, out-of-circulation collection of Mennonite recipes from the Dayton, Virginia Old Order Mennonite community.  This is an old, old community and recipes there are time-tested, family favorites that get passed down from generation to generation. I've had some meals in that community and, man, they are good.  Okay, means in Plain communities every are good generally, but they seem extra inventive and creative here.
