A few weeks ago my husband was traveling through Northeastern Ohio and came home with a brochure on Amish country and told us about some amazingly sharp cheddar cheese he had sampled. Our youngest daughter quickly snatched up the glossy paper and started dreaming. So when we announced we were headed for "Amish" country she was excited. The drive to Tuscarawas County was beautiful and full of roads that make your stomach "jump". Around every turn are farm animals just waiting for someone to holler "moo" or "neigh" in their direction!
Just before Sugarcreek ,we stopped at Walnut Creek Cheese. We bought a pound of the cheddar that was aged eight years, a box of Triscuits and some amazing BBQ jerky. The kids sampled some real ice cream and we took pictures in front of a parked buggy. The food is so good the Amish even shop there! I must confess the store screams "Little ol' ladies come and shop!" but, it was enjoyable just the same. Check out the store's website at:(http://www.walnutcreekcheese.com/default.asp)
When we got back in the car, we divied up the morsels one cheese covered cracker at a time. Everyone munched happily most of the way home. Even the summer storm that crashed and flashed around us did nothing to dampen the happiness of those inside the car. Memories...time together... that's really what makes life worthwhile. The cheese and M&M's are really just gravy.
