In the Mennonite tradition (verenicke, not pierogi), you do the Rays first and then the Yankees

Makes sense. No one wants to think their ancestry has people (or even just one) who'd bicker over buttons and bicycles

None of those books have cocktail recipes. Just sayin.

I always thought it was because the roads followed the river but I like this better.

Ashamed at how long it took me to find "martyr" in today's NYT Spelling Bee.

It was a very different sort of film: Robin Hood argues with the rich about economic justice instead of using violence to steal from them; his followers sing hymns in between arguments; and they keep schisming into merry sub-bands

Also including at least one Mennonite mixologist 🍸🍹

April is National Poetry Month. We need a break from all the news. I'll be adding to this 🧵for the balance of the month. Feel free to contribute.

A Mennonite gal who was Swiss Was known far and wide to French kiss But what was far worse And made people curse Was cheating at games like Dutch Blitz

From Mennonite Mission Network, the perfect footgear for a #GranolaMennonite

Is it platz day for us Russian Mennonites? #PiDay

"Mennonite-coded." I'm thinking the family was singing 606 (118/20) as they walked.

Just occurred to me that taking down interprovincial trade barriers could have implications for Mennonite farmers sausage #AffairOfTheSausages

We actually get pissed off a lot. We're just usually a lot more passive aggressive about it.

I will never stop trying to make the Day of the Sausages a thing.

Right. May 2-4 weekend has no place on the list.

I checked my liquor cabinet. I'll be fine without bourbon.

Is it just me or did the 500th Anniversary of Anabaptism fly a little under the radar this year?

Important PSA for Mennonites out skating. These stories from our past still have relevance today.

Tbh, the cocktails I have been using to commemorate #Anabaptism500 haven't been all that nuanced. #Mennonite

Decorations for my Anabaptism 500 cocktail party.

If you're too lazy for a cocktail, you can always just have whiskey on the Blaurocks.

It's Anabaptism's 500th birthday. Celebrate by baking a pie and finding a new country that won't conscript you into the military.

Don't you hate it when your birthday is shared by another more famous one?

If you know, you know

Just 2 sleeps until Anabaptism 500 Day!!!!

They deserve what they got - Georg Blaurock was baptized in Anna Mainz's house. The only Mennonites re-creating it outside are erasing Anabaptist women's history.

Are you including Martens, though?

By popular demand (or not really popular, but Menno-popular), a 500 anniversary expansion pack of Cards against the Mennonites www.slklassen.com/cards-agains...

Sort of like seeing this kind of issue coming up on Mennonite Bluesky. (In my household, we use a converted icebox as a liquor cabinet. Holds tall bottles just fine).

Is this author account fake? Despite the number of followers, most of the posts have been flagged as spam plus I got one of those suspicious bot-like DMs.

Note to self to add chains to decor for Anabaptism 500 cocktail party. This could change the vibe. #Mennonite #Anabaptism500

Yikes - It's Jan 7 and I've barely begun planning my Anabaptism 500 cocktail party.

Sorry - not us. Only adult content we're here to talk about is adult baptism.

Don't forget to have a plumamimosa tomorrow with New Years brunch.

Just one of the many hurdles to surmount when overcoming your Mennonite upbringing.

Ontario born and raised but I have never...is this one of those things only available in one particular KW farmers' market?

Open to crowdsourcing - anyone have any Menno terms I missed the first time round or are more relevant now? #Mennonite

Anyone else think it's too early for Mennobsky to be quite THIS niche?

I really do need to come up with an expansion pack for the 500th anniversary.

Also completely tax-free.

Impersonation account. Miriam doesn't do social media. Reported.

I know the kid starts out skeptical but remind me - does he believe in summer sausage 's superiority by the end?

I'm not sure about this - it's a "Last Mennonite Church" production and I'm pretty loyal to "First Mennonite." Torn up on this because otherwise it looks like my kind of movie.

Marginalia is all the contribution I've ever really aspired to in this life.

Ah yes, the classic film about a GC and OM who overcome their doctrinal and ethnic differences when they start writing letters to each other on MennoMatch and discover their shared love of long sermons and bargains. #Mennonite #romcom

Great movie. As I recall, Pinky's the nickname for that early Anabaptist who hung out with Blaurock and wore a pink coat. Not sure who the Braun guy is.

I'm hoping that column of annotations is nothing but martyrdom stories and recipes to feed a barn-raising crew. #Mennonite

Thanks, @crustywareniki.bsky.social! Amazingly, my book MennoNightcaps will also be tax free! And my cocktails go ever so well with zwiebach.

That's what I'm there for, humbly saving Christmas for Omas everywhere.
