Shopping in Amish country

Saturday, August 20

The day started out overcast and cloudy and stayed that way for most of the day.  In fact, it started raining around 1:30 pm and rained off and on the rest of the day. 

I wanted to go shopping at Yoder's Meat and Cheese in Shipshewana.  I had bought a bunch of stuff there last year.  I got some steaks, sausage, short ribs, summer sausage and cheese.  A good haul.  Dad, I got you a summer sausage stick and it is in the freezer until we get home.  We had some of the cheese and summer sausage for dinner as we had a really big lunch. 

We stopped at Das Dutchman Essenhaus Restaurant in Middleburg for lunch/dinner.  Last year we ate here and had the family style meal (check out the pictures for Aug 17, 2010 and the blog entry).  This time we decided to eat in the menu dining hall.  Bill had something called a Manhattan, which resembled a hot turkey sandwich.  I had chicken and biscuits, a creamy chicken dish served over a biscuit with mashed potatoes.  We both had a 1/2 size meal so we could have dessert.  Bill had a fresh blueberry pie and I had a double crust blackberry pie.  At lease it was suppose to be blackberry but I think I actually got raspberry. 

We also shopped in some of the smaller shops around and came across what was suppose to be doll furniture but we were thinking that Nelson would fit in them.  Here is the picture.  Notice that they are sitting under a card table for comparison. 


That is the only picture I took today.  Maybe I will do better on Sunday. 

We also stopped at a farmer's veggie stand and I got some corn, tomatoes, and peaches.  Yummy, yummy. 

OK that is it for today.  Enjoy.
