For our wedding day 35 years ago this month, a wise person gave us a great cookbook called More With Less. It is a Mennonite cookbook and for years we enjoyed Liza’s Tomato and Rice, Pakistani Kima, and Sweet and Sour Soy Beans. Somewhere along the way, we lost our cookbook. We went into a Mennonite Quilt Shop today and lo and behold we saw a new edition of our old favorite cookbook. It still contains some of the exact same recipes. We had to buy a copy. It was like getting a wedding present 35 years later!

Kingsburg, California has a strong Swedish link and is well known for their water tower near downtown being in the shape of an antique Swedish coffee pot! We have never seen that before.
