I was lucky to be raised by my grandparents in what use to be a small town in Oregon.
Always the inquisitive one, my grandparents were able to pass on the 'old' ways of doing things and the reasons why they were used while answering my questions. Many of my contemporaries ask me these same questions when they see me make bread a certain way or make sure to touch the pie crust dough as little as possible.
My thinking was there may be more out there who, for perhaps nothing more than curiosity, may want the same questions answered.
Feel free to post questions about things you want to know the origins of or reason for doing things. MANY of these still make sense but have not been passed along--until now
