Haven't done a Blogroll in a couple of weeks so thought day would be a good day to do one.
Amish Salisbury Steak
AMISH "BARBECUED SALISBURY STEAK" - Patricia over at the Patchwork Quilt blog was excited to find this recipe and I'm excited to bring it to you. It's from the Big Valley Cookbook which is an invaluable compendium of recipes from a very diverse Amish community. It is really neat to find ground beef recipes that are so easy, yet offer such a flavor twist. Check out the recipe and read more here!
THE BUDGET: This post really tugged at me. It's hard to explain why and I'm not sure I'll even try to explain here. For newbies, The Budget is the Amish newspaper and it's sent by mail (or in this case, by bus) to most Amish families. But I sense - and this is pure conjecture on my part - that The Budget is losing a little of its currency with the Amish. The Amish are having growing access to a variety of media and communication methods. If the Budget is still a crucial communication tool among the Amish, my guess is that that will diminish over time...but its neat to see it still commanding such attention. Check out Katie Troyer's post from Pinecraft here.
