      I also have always enjoyed the diary-style columns. It is so interesting to see how the family fills their day! I didn't like the mouse story so much..anyone remember my mouse-tail from a couple years ago? Uugh....

    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!
