Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the questions I get from my imaginary followers.
Are Mennonites even allowed to drink?
It depends on the branch of the Church. Don't worry; I won't get kicked out of the community for this. Thanks for your concern.
Are you really drunk when you write these posts?
Drunken might be a bit of an exaggeration but "The Mennonite who Consumes Moderate Amounts of Alcohol in Tasty Concoctions from Time to Time" wouldn't fit in the header.
What does your mother think of you doing this?
She doesn't know. Most of my imaginary blog readers don't run into her a lot.
Why do you write anonymously if you don't have anything to be ashamed of?
The Drunken Menno is really a persona that I adopt when I'm writing. It's partly me but it's more like a character I've created. My identity isn't much of a secret. If you've been paying attention, you'd know that.
You should seek help for your alcohol problem.
Thank you for your concern. Please rephrase your statement as a question.
Can you give me your recipe for Mennonite sangria?
Absolutely. I'm waiting to post that until the summer. Please enjoy a nice fall/winter cocktail in the meantime .
