    Weekly Blogroll: Katie's Amish Buttermilk Cookies, Amish Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies, Ira Wagler, and More!

    Okay, time to buckle up and go for our weekly whirl through the blogosphere in search of anything and everything Plain.   Have some tasty stops today:

    Katie's Amish Buttermilk Cookies | Meemaw EatsAMISH BUTTERMILK COOKIES:  Meemaw shares a recipe an Amish friend gave to her for homemade buttermilk cookies.  Buttermilk cookies, done right, are amazing.  Probably the best Amish-made cookies I've ever had were buttermilk cookies that I got at the Amish Acres bakery way back in the early 1990s.  I still remember them, they were soft, flavorful, and iced perfectly.  Meemaw's cookies look like those that I sampled so many years ago.  Click here for her recipe.

    AMISH SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE COOKIES:  LOL, now this is a circular one...Patricia's patchwork did a recipe from this site, so I am sending you to her site to get a recipe that came from this site.  But it's a great recipe and looks like she did a delicious job making them, so click here to enjoy!

    IRA WAGLER:   Ira wrote a book called "Growing Up Amish".  Ira is viewed with disdain by some segments of the Amish, viewed that way for leaving the church and then writing about it.  But I find his writing to be generally even-handed and thought-provoking. I'll admit I was drawn to this post because I know and have met most of the people mentioned.  I've written before about David Luthy, a convert who joined the Amish and, well, I'll let Ira tell the rest.  I know this post is long but you'll really learn a lot of fascinating nuggets if you stick through it. Promise. Click here to read.

    AMISH OVEN-BARBECUED PORK CHOPS:   These look amazing, check out the recipe here!

    BLOG SPIN - PHOTOS FROM AN AMISH FARM:  I just thought it'd be fun to randomly pick out a blog post from the blogosphere that wasn't recent, just to find something interesting, so I spun the "spinner" and came up with this gem from a very conservative Amish settlement in Wisconsin. I could relate to everything the photographer experienced, but he came up with some precious photos. Enjoy!
