    Amish in the News: The Amish and Tech, Mary Yoder's Kitchen, Amy's Slaw, Amish Graduations, and More!

    Spring means graduations, dandelions salads, and rhubarb if you are Amish.   Yes, Amish schools do have "graduations."  They may not be cap-n-gown pomp and circumstance ones the way most of us think of them, but they are still rites of end-of-term passage.   An Amish school may mark the end of the year with a special softball game, or a program, or an awards meal.

    AMISH GRADUATIONS:  The Lancaster paper had an interesting take on this topic, click here.

    AMISH AND TECHNOLOGY:  Quartz interviewed an Arizona State professor about the sometimes tricky shoals to navigate between tradition and technology.  I think the interview is a good read and I feel like the good professor got most of this facts right. Click here to read more.

    MARY YODER'S AMISH KITCHEN:  I was happy to see an article about this Geauga County institution.  I think it'd be tough to topic Mrs. Yoder's Amish Kitchen in Berlin but, still, I'd like to try this place sometime. I think the writer was a little hard on the place, did she really think the restaurant would have its own chickens pecking around in a barnyard for slaughter and serving?  No, this restaurant sounds like a wonderful and hearty indulgence that if it doesn't serve perfectly authentic Amish fare it sounds like a pretty good facsimile!

    AMY'S SLAW:   This is a recipe from Amish country chef Lee Ann Miller, the slaw seems to capture spring in all its bounty! Click here.
