Since I absolutely love the Amish, since Christmas is my favorite time of year, and since making Christmas cookies is one of my favorite activities of all time, when I saw "Amish Christmas Cookie Tour," I knew I *had* to go (trifecta!). Two days later, three lovely Amish families welcomed eager tourists - including me - into their homes and blessed us with being able to sample and purchase (if desired, but of course!) some of the most delicious bakes I've ever eaten in my life - and not just because I can taste the love, history, and nostalgia in each bite. Other goodies were available for purchase, too, including authentic, skillfully sewn home help items and gifts. Between Linda S.'s delicious, fluffy homemade bread (best ever; she also had chocolate-covered peanut butter & crackers available!), Grandma Barbara's perfect chow chow and jellies, Rachel E.'s even-more-scrumptious-than-anticipated pumpkin roll with cream cheese frosting in the middle and her hubby David's sweet sense of humor - aside from all the cookies! - my mouth is now physically watering thinking about what's still left on my kitchen counter (which is considerably less than what I came home with). Even more to be thankful for, cookie recipes were also provided. Don was our fearless, knowledgeable guide who made the tour that much more interesting and fun with his vast knowledge of the area and the deep history of the People. Not to be missed.
