GOING TO THE AMISH
When I went down to Nashville, Tn. this fall my son took me to the Amish who live outside of Nashville. I had always heard of the Amish and have always wanted to go there. I can say one thing, they are the most friendly people I have ever met to not even know us. We went to several different houses to buy some of their goods. We went on the wrong day tho as they were not doing any baking.. I think they bake on Saturday. But they had some things to sell.
They have a place like a big flea market where they come to on Sat. and set up and sell their baked goods and candies and butter and etc. We missed this. I hope next time I can get to go to this. We did get some fresh big and I mean big brown eggs and candies . They had all kinds of apple butter and peach butter and jellys ,canned goods but as I can I did not need any of this. They had already sold their corn and garden stuff and just had mainly pumpkins.
The children were so nice. They were playing like we all used to do when growing up out in the yard. Now most kids just sit in the house in front of a tv and really don't know what real playing is. Some of them were taking care of the stores.
We bought some candy that was so good made out of rice krispies. I think they were called Snowball candy. One of the ladies told us how to make them and I will be posting a recipe I found that are like them. They are different and really good they are almost like a rice krispy bar but use coconut in them and peanut butter and are really crunchy.
We saw the men and women driving their buggys and it is a simple life and a good life. I thought they live almost like us except we do have electric and city water. We are country like them.We also have our gardens and can just like them. But we have cars and trucks and go different places in them where they don't.
One of the houses was having a stir off making molasses. I had always heard about this from my father-in-law. It was something to see and they were made fresh. We bought some of them but I sure wish now I had bought more of them. They came in a little tan jug. Not in a jar. Not any corn syrup added to them. I have made some of the best gingerbread biscuits out of it. The ladies let us taste a sample of them and they had the foam there also. I don't know what they do with it. They were straining it. If you get a chance go down and watch this. I was down there about Oct. the 8th. I will post some recipes I have of their candy and main dishes.
I really did enjoy this. I hope to get to go back down in the spring when all the garden stuff is in.

LYDIA'S COOKED PEANUT BUTTER ROLL
One of my friends makes the best peanut -butter roll I have ever tasted. It is a job to make this as it takes a lot of know how. You can burn a mixer up fast if it is to thick. She uses a wooden spoon to beat hers with in the bowl but that is a lot of work. I just use my mixer and when it starts getting to hot I let it cool down for a minute or two. One thing for sure don't try to make this when it rains as it will not do right. We all love this for Christmas. Most people make this with powdered sugar and it is good but this is the real thing.
Peanut Butter Roll
2 1/2 cups Domino sugar, I sometimes use walmart brand but best to use domino
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white karo syrup
3 egg whites, beaten use a glass bowl ,to hot for a plastic one
1 jar of peter-pan peanut butter or jiff
Cheaper peanut butter will make this to salty
In a kettle, mix the sugar, water and syrup on low to soft ball stage. Don't let scorch.
Take the syrup mixture and pour slowly over in the glass bowl with the beaten egg whites a little at a time. Keep beating as you pour this.When you have poured all of it into the bowl keep right on beating it until it is no longer glassy looking this takes a pretty good while.
If using a wooden spoon your arm will really get tired.
Put some powdered sugar on a large piece of alum. foil paper or parchment paper or you can use the tuffware pie sheet, the white one, use about 3/4 cups of powdered sugar on this. Spead it out over the sheet. Leave a little more in the middle. Now take half of the mixture and pour in the center of this. It will be sticky. Put some of the powdered sugar on top of this and began rolling it out. This is the tricky part as it is sticky. When rolled out take your peanut butter and warm a little in the mircowave, not a lot or it will be soupy and to hot. If this happens let cool down a little and spread all over the rolled out mixture. Began rolling up long way. Don't roll the alum. foil or paper in with the rolled powdered sugar roll. Not like rolling up a pumpkin roll where you roll up the paper with it. If it sticks put some powdered sugar on the part that sticks if not enough on the sheets. When rolled up , put this in the ref. until it is chilled. Do not put in the freezer part. I try to put some of the new glad wrap around it when I put it in the ref.and not use the alum foil. The glad wrap will let you shape it better into a roll and is more pretty. I twist each end of the wrap so it will stay in a nice roll, sometimes it wants to be sort of flat and not good and round.
Now take the other half of the mixture and do the same. If using the tufferware pie sheet wash and dry it good and repeat. . Make sure it is dryed good or the powdered sugar will sure stick to it.
Use unflavored dental floss, or can use some fishing string to cut this or I use one of the silver guitar strings. To me this works best. This is a recipe that is so hard to write out , you just have to work with it. It is like making pie crusts. Sometimes you hit and sometimes you miss. It took me forever to learn how to do this right. lol. That is why I like to use the powdered sugar method most of the time. lol. But this one is the best. At our dinners this is the kind every one looks for first. Makes me want to go make some now. It is just about Christmas time. Wonder how many calories there is to just one little piece. Oh well, we can all diet later.

MORE LIKE CHRISTMAS
Guess what it snowed Friday night. This is our first snow of the season and it is so pretty. I just wish it would have waited for Christmas. One of the things my kids would do was go look out and see if there was snow on Christmas morning. Altho it is pretty, it helps us with the water in the summer for our gardens when it is so hot and dry.
I will never forget the time when there was a big snow on and we had what was called slate dumps, that is where the coal companys years ago dumped their slate I think from their coal. My son was out playing on one and he begain sliding and slide all the way down to the bottom into the creek . I still don't know how he got back up it , he said one of his cousins pushed him down. It was so steep and with snow on it, I just can't see a kid climbing back up it but he had the Lord on his side. I saw him come walking up the road and noticed how he was shaking. He was so cold he could not tell me what had happened until later. I got him warmed up and would you believe he never even got a cold, sore throat or fever and he was soaking wet. I thank God today for watching over him and letting him live. Every time I see snow that comes back to my memory what happened to him. He was only around 8 at the time. He did not wont to go to the er. said the Lord was going to let him be alright and he was.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
