After an extended visit with friends in Lancaster and Lititz Pennsylvania the family picked up many Pennsylvania Dutch expression which we used en famille :
Examples : Put the shut on the light (Turn out the lights)
Too soon old and too late smart. Self explanatory. And quite useful!
I had the pleasure of meeting several Amish and Mennonite families who treated me most cordially and introduced me to Shoo Fly Pie and other delights!
Oh, if you're ever in Lancaster do not miss the Farmer's Market ... The Amish fruits and vegetables on offer are simply out of this world delicious. All farming done without pesticide, everything natural. Peaches the size of grapefuits an bite into one and the juice runs down your chin.
Excuse me, I wax poetic ... but boy is their produce GOOD !!
wow
