I live a modern life, but do things as my Amish ancestors did.

As a Mom of five grown ones that somehow turned into 15 so far with spouses and grandchildren I will say that baking cookies is the most thankless task of all. They just vanish. <br /><br />My pastor's wife daughter says her best defense for feeding hordes is her 20 cup rice cooker. Lots of things can be served over a pile of rice and she does not have to peel, chop or prep anything for a huge pot of rice.

Then my children were born with digestive disorders and my hours became heavily invested in calculating ratios of protein vs sugars and so on. It was surprisingly satisfying! It was/is my calling.....while it is a duty, it is a beautiful privilege as well. I highly recommend the book 'Eat With Joy' by Rachel Marie Stone. Thank you for this perspective!Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789226794533088840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-53872187225924252152015-07-12T21:23:05.089-07:002015-07-12T21:23:05.089-07:00Lovely and true.
