It was at a restaurant which hires Amish cooks---no brand name. The filling color wasn't orange and if any spices were used, it may have been only cinnamon. It was boring.The state of our country, the moral state of our people. And the coming holidays, which I think highlight the problems of the previous two and how we've become a nation of materialism and greed more so than one of charity and generosity and compassion. Where what we want becomes the obsession, rather than what we need. Where it's easier to ignore people with a frown or by staring at a cell phone rather than take the initiative and offer a smile and a comment. Where ours might be the only kind word a person receives during the day. I could go on but won't.
I guess those thoughts come from the sermon given by our interim pastor yesterday, from Matthew 6. Don't lay up treasures on earth.... for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. He made the statement that what we talk about and where we go says what's most important to us. That's very thought provoking in this day and age.
Was Amish the name brand, or was it baked from an Amish recipe? What did it look and taste like? The Amish, like everyone else, have various recipes for pumpkin pies. I know some don't use pumpkin pie spices, which would make a big difference.
As a personal preference I'd rather have sweet potato pie!
Sweet potato pie makes me laugh, because my mother never served sweet potatoes. I love them, but not compared to pumpkin pie. What's not to love about sweet potatoes?!!! When I served ham, I always had sweet potatoes as a side dish, not Irish potatoes. OOPS! I didn't know Mom had an aversion to sweet potatoes that time she visited. I wasn't paying attention either. I wonder if she ate them. So one time she called me to say that she was upset that she had accidentally bought sweet potato pie instead of pumpkin.
Your pastor's sermon sounds wonderful.
