A day in Amish country

Today Joe and I went with our friends to spend a relaxing day in Amish country. I loved it. The countryside was beautiful. I saw the worlds largest draft horse. His name Big Ben he weighed 3,000 pounds. The horse was huge!! We looked at the shops and I saw the most beautiful quilts. We sampled jellies and jams and the best peanut butter you ever had. They had this huge fabric outlet and the prices were so cheap. I would have bought tons of fabric.(if I had enough money) I have no pictures to show because I didn't want to invade any ones privacy, but I will share a recipe with you out of the Ohio Amish Guide.

Amish Macaroni Salad

1 1/2 c uncooked macaroni
1 t. salt
3 hard boiled eggs
1/2 c chopped celery
1/4 c chopped onion (optional)
3/4 c Miracle Whip
2 T mustard
1/4 c vinegar
1/3 c sugar
Cook and drain macaroni. Cool. Add salt, eggs, celery, and onion.
Mix Miracle Whip, mustard, vinegar, and sugar thoroughly, then add to
macaroni mixture.

I am going to try this to. Let me know how yours turns out. It will be great for picnics and BBQ's this summer. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
