AMISH COOK: Family hunting season tradition


The annual dinner of deer heart and apple dumplings rolled around again.  It’s been a family tradition for 20 years or so. The first evening of shotgun season, us siblings all gather at Dad and Mom’s for deer stories and dumplings with deer heart. I know that combination may sound odd, and perhaps it is, but then as I tell the children, “Homemade memories are the best.” Perhaps homemade concoctions bring the best of warmth in years to come.
