Some folks are fortunate to have a view of the majestic Cascade mountains. Others, a stream, lovely garden, or the neighbor’s yard. Whatever your view is, enjoy it with a gentle gliding Amish made porch glider. Available in oak (for protected outdoor areas) or treated pine. A gliding footstool completes your comfort. Gliders come in four and five foot lengths. Some have a center section that flips down to put your cups. Our grandchildren love to eat their lunch on ours, and the divider keeps Russell on his own side. Also matching gliding chairs, and end table. Perhaps you’d prefer a swing, picnic table, benches, or an Adirondack chair. Remember, 20% discount from Amish Workbench Furniture. A short turn around time from date of order. Our Amish manufacturer has no phone or fax so he receives his order from us via US mail. Then uses the public phone at the end of his road to call letting us know it’s ready for pickup. Imagine an evening, gentle breezes, your favorite crossword puzzles, happy sounds of children playing, chatting with the neighbors, finishing your dessert coffee, fighting off yellow jackets because you forgot to hang your yellow jacket trap. Sounds like an evening in Amish country. So get busy and make a space for this glider. You’ll be glad you did

Monster Mash
We were so delighted to have dinner in one of our Amish manufacturer’s homes on a recent buying trip to Holmes County, OH. Laura Yoder, our hostess, has been gracious enough to share her recipe for mashed potatoes. We love Amish mashed potatoes! We forget the “waste” line when visiting Amish country. Adjust to your family size. The recipe is for 7 people. I used it for 11, and it really needs the milk for creaminess. Mashed Potatoes
Boil potatoes (around 9 nice ones). When soft, mash well and add: 1/2 stick real butter, 1/4 stick cream cheese (I used the 8 oz size), 1/4 C sour cream, salt to taste, milk till right consistency. Heat till hot, stirring constantly.
Our Amish cookbooks haven’t been researched to see if this recipe is in any of them. However, there are many mouth watering recipes in the Amish cookbooks available in our store. Wanna try Scrapple, Shoo fly Pie, dry corn or a sugar free recipe? Some of the books have charming snippits of Amish life. Remember, these books are available at Amish Workbench Furniture.
