My grandmother is a sweet almost 87-year-old presence in my life. She shares a home with her younger brother, my Uncle Pat. We're very grateful to Pat for his help in keeping my grandmother independent and living at home, where she's happy and never dull. It's funny because they both sort of get more subdued as soon as the video camera clicks on, but I still think they're fun to watch and in episodes to come, I'm sure they'll loosen up a bit. Click here to watch my grandmother and my Uncle Pat (both first generation Americans, their mother was from Calabria, Italy) sample some Amish and Amish-style foods. It's just interesting to watch two very different culinary cultures collide on camera. By the way, there are now ads on all of our YouTube videos.  It may be mildly annoying but it's a relatively painless way for all of us to contribute to the Amish Cook column's existence, so enjoy!:)
