    Amish in the News Express: An Amish Christmas and Ox Tongue Cookies

    By Kevin Williams

    Have a couple of Amish-themed stories I wanted to focus on now.  One is a a story that appeared in a tiny Canadian newspaper. Manitoulin is a small island community in Ontario that has seen a big growth in Amish population lately.  The local newspaper decided to explore some of the Amish Christmas traditions.

    AN AMISH CHRISTMAS:  I wish this article would have delved a bit deeper in their food traditions, but, hey, they still got out there and did a good article, something a lot of local papers lack these days, so that's something.  Click here to read this fun and informative article.

    OX TONGUE COOKIES:  Okay, the name sounds awful, but the cookies sound pretty good.  The Allentown paper posted a couple of recipes for this Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.  Click here for the recipes.
