The AMISH Woman's SPENDING Habits! Episode 2 

thank you so much my sweet friend This is just the beginning I have many more Very interesting videos coming your way

Tessie I Need HELP!! I had a great recipe called 7 Layer Casserole from an Amish cookbook I used to have. I used to make it for my dad before he passed back in 1995. I bought the recipe book back in 1988 in Plain City Ohio Amish country. It was an Amish cookbook, that I’ve sadly lost. It wasn’t a regional cookbook and I do not remember who wrote it or the exact title. Do you happen to have this recipe? It was layering potatoes, onions carrots rice ground beef and tomatoes or Tomato soup I can’t remember. Just layer it in order in a casserole dish. It was so good and my dad loved it. He passed in 1995. Thanks Tessie! Hugs love ya!

@@rosel368 Oh no I meant the Amish series Tessie is doing. I've watched Tessie on and off for years. Sometimes the seasons of life do not allow for much down time for watching and I just came through one of those seasons. 🌷 ❤️⚘️

Same here 😊

Having grown up in the community in Mount Pleasant Michigan in St Louis Michigan. And knowing them closely. I'll be interested to see the portrayal of the lifestyle that she grew up with. Tessie is a great help and a great teacher this should be a good series I'm hoping it helps the 34 million people in the United States of America living under the poverty line and the 14 million that are now falling into the poverty line. As the dollar loses it power faces the USA not being the imperialistic leader of the world, sooner than later. So many more people are going to need to find ways to live without finances because it is important to know how to feed yourself and go and live with less and be happy. And to be able to do that as healthy and happily possible. I'm loving it. should help a lot of people. As well as entertaining. And teach. I don't know that I've ever spoke about it before but during the end of my bachelor's degree I worked for two years at the Mennonite restaurant in Middleton Michigan Restaurant in central Michigan. Omigosh the girls and boys did have intimacy. With multiple partners just like all the other teenagers were. My parents are too strict for that and my four brothers eyes on me. In reality I was much more virtualus and strict with myself than they were, the reality. They were dating, they were watching TV, they were grouping up at people's houses. Two years working with them four and five days and nights a week and holidays. And know them extremely extremely well. I spent lots of time making pies and prepping and cooking. the thing was a lot of them thought that they were so different, than the rest of us. they weren't at all. I used to compare them to the Catholic kids. Where their parents put so much pressure on them. They were having sex and smoking and during war wild things than almost any other religion I knew. That's just how it was. I'm still close with them today and they laugh about it. Especially the secrets about TV and their boyfriends oh my gosh!!! They said they'd never do that to their children and they didn't. What I have noticed is the Mennonites and Amish that do break away from the strictness of the religious part are usually extremely loving with their children way more than they were loved in A Gentle Way by their own parents. I say this because these are some of the closest friends of my lifetime then and now. I just thought today might be a good time to throw it out there. Because this series is going to be good and informative. Showing how in a country of 320 million plus people. we have approximately 400,000 of these two religious Faith. people mixed throughout the country still keeping their faith alive. Only a few of Amish and Mennonite ever stayed in their parents religion. so as far as I knew going back about ten Generations the majority leave the faith. They say it is isolating, outdated and they don't want it. They do learn how to cook and stretch a dollar. They usually do great in the outside world. They are all homeowners and farm owners. That's why the community stays so small. The majority of them leaving, every generation. Only the tiniest fraction stay. the fraction that doesn't want to go out into the world. I find that a precious choice for them. The average person that doesn't have that particular religious background it's just in the world no chance to isolate if they would want to have isolation. Mennonite Middleton restaurant is the number one Homestyle restaurant in all of Michigan. Yep two years I worked there I love those people they love me and I was actually more strict than they were that's why they love me so much I was tied around the dollar and cleaner than their own kids they loved me and they still do. And I love them.

I love the Amish kids I work with are only a few years younger than me I was in university and they were in high school. And then some of the women my age that already married and loved the date. But still hang out with their families. We're in our sixties and seventies now. Haven't been in central Michigan and 9 years going on 10 since my mom died. It was a nice chance to see everyone in person again I almost said real-time LOL I loved working at the Mennonite Diner in Middleton Michigan the best diner homemade food in Michigan. I'm not claiming it that's a fact and they learned it in rewards for decades.

Beautiful ❤️.

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU MY SWEET SIS BEEN A LONG TIME !!!!

Phoebe's World.. The Blue House in The Hills- Hello Phoebe from our farm in New Hampshire. I agree with you 100%! I have been following Tessie's journey for years and this Amish series is indeed her calling! Are you listening Tessie? AKA- stay true to yourself and you will shine 🌞

You are so welcome!!!

Hey neighbor! We live in Tuscawaras county but do a lot of our shopping at Troyer, Walnut Creek cheese and of course the bent and dent store. My hubby and I drive the Amish and have many friends and relatives who are Amish as well. I LOVE living in Amish country. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. The homegrown meats are the best too along with the Amish farm stands produce.

Ours is pronounced the way yours is spelled, yet we spell it differently than it sounds 🤷‍♀️

We call it this in the Southern states.

We here in Florida also say baloney but spell it bologna

In Texas we call it Baloney too

Boloney Also in southern Appalachia 😊😊

Good evening Owen

The book is very interesting to read hopefully you can find it at the library It's one of those books once you read it once you probably wouldn't really need it anymore So hopefully you can find at the library

To you as well, julie!

sweet sister Thank you so much for your beautiful comments I really enjoyed reading it I'm sure you can see by now that I am in my element And these type of videos creates in me such enjoyment You've known me now long enough to know what I really like and these are the kind of videos that I really want to finish my RU-vid career with In other words I really want to continue these kind of videos as long as I can And this is the direction of course there's other videos sprinkled in between but they're all going to be this type of video

kes, It's fun to learn of Amish ways and Tessie sure is in her element I look forward to much more of this series :-)

@@HomesteadTessie Yes! You look completely at ease here, dear sister, and that feeling goes straight to your viewers in the best way!

Hi Kes, You Are So Right. Being Slow To Change To The Worlds Standard Must Serve The Amish So Well. I Think It Also Shows Their Strength Of Character. So Many People These Days Are Just Willing To Go With The Flow As It Were! I Agree With How Lovely Tessie Looks, I Noticed On Her Other Channel Earlier Today. God Bless Love Andrea

@@pr9764 Andrea, I'm with you on your comments! I've noticed that so many things that the non-stop media news cycle gets itself really worked up about become "ancient history" within just a few days! Then they're immediately on to the next Big Thing. This seems to keep people in a constant state of anxiety. That can't be good for us! The Amish aren't completely out of touch of course, but they don't seem to be obsessive about every little thing --- things which most of us have no control over anyway! 🙂

“Always” Andrea

I do!

Every time!

she’s the best!

Me 😊

you too my sweet friend

So true!

I'm so glad!
