Around our neighborhood, potluck suppers are popular, and they lead quite naturally to the swapping of recipes. One of our neighbors always brings a chocolate cake made from a recipe that her mother used in the 1950s for birthday cakes. We got the recipe from her and in return gave her the recipe for dilly beans that we originally got from someone on the other side of town, who makes at least ten different kinds of pickles every summer!

Announcing . . . The "Another Bite" Recipe Contest: Thanksgiving Side Dishes
It may be September—but Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Everyone makes a turkey—but it’s the side dishes that make your table distinctive. We will award prizes of genuine, pure New Hampshire Maple Syrup, Grade A, for the three best original recipes for Thanksgiving-quality side dishes. Deadline is November 15, 2000. Winners will be announced in the November issue of "Another Bite."
We stumbled across a copy of the "Mennonite Community Cookbook" recently. Compiled by Mary Emma Showalter in 1950, it is a treasury of 1100 favorite family recipes contributed by Mennonite cooks all over the United States and Canada. Schnitzel beans, shoo fly pie, apple dumplings, and many other Mennonite specialties are included. And then there’s Funny Cake Pie, which is a two-layer cake baked inside a pie shell!
