Certainly by now you have all heard the theory that we
belong to different ‘tribes’ of people. I am a member of the “Middle School
Teachers” tribe. I want advice and support from as many others middle school
teachers as I can get! Some folks call us crazy…..but we’re just awesome.
I’m also a church choir director, so I belong to that tribe
as well. I follow blogs, subscribe to magazines, participate in workshops, and
join discussion groups. Most likely, the funniest (and most fun) tribe I belong
to is my ukulele tribe. (Yes, I am a closet ukulele player…..) I travel to
various cities to sing and strum with other ukulele enthusiasts.
Don’t forget about the vegan tribe! I joined 2 years ago and
intend to stay for the rest of my life. This tribe has changed my life! Don’t
know where I’d be without the other vegans in my life – whether virtual or in
the flesh.
I absolutely believe this quote from Seth Godin (Google him.
Love him. Have learned tons from him.)
“A tribe is a group of
people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an
idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or
another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a
way to communicate.”
Another tribe I belong to is “Lutherans who love to cook”
and this stollen recipe was shared on our Facebook page. It would be simple to
Google a stollen recipe – this one has a marzipan filling, so look for that if
you’re actually interested.
A crazy, crazy amount of
ingredients and lots of steps. Time spent soaking, kneading, rising, worrying.
I have to admit that I over baked my loaves and had to cut off the toasted
bottom of two of them. I also admit that my dog Lucy ate AN ENTIRE LOAF. (a
stolen stollen, if you will)
