    Saturday Blog Roll: Kelly McGillis, Chocolate Chip Amish Puff Cookies, Friendship Bread Nutty Cookies, and St. Jacob's

    Published: Sep 21, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    Okay, it's Saturday, the time when we surf the blogosphere to see what interesting vignettes are out there.  A few interesting and tasty ones.  First up:

    KELLY MCGILLIS:  Remember her from Witness? She's pictured here from that 1985 Harrison Ford classic. She is going Amish again, this time playing the role of a spinster Amish aunt in an upcoming TV movie for the UP Channel (never heard of that channel). Click here to read more.

    CHOCOLATE CHIP AMISH PUFF COOKIES:   This recipe is not familiar to me, but it sounds like something that would be a hit in Amish kitchens.  Check out this interesting recipe and photos to boot.

    FRIENDSHIP BREAD NUTTY COOKIES: Again, another recipe I'm not familiar with, but it's kind of near to see the ubiquitous Amish Friendship Bread recipe made into a cookie. Click here for this neat recipe.

    ST. JACOBS, ONTARIO:  This quaint village is the "Mennonite capital of Canada", this neat travel article tells more about this storied place.

      Did you hear about the terrible fire at the St Jacobs farmers market?? It destroyed the main building there! Google it. So sad.

    Kevin Williams - The Amish Editor Amish Cook Column

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
