We tend to hang onto things in our family — all of us, except, perhaps, our son. If I give him things, I’ll later find out he sold the items. I recently offered him a chair — one we bought him when he was in college — from our basement. “If you bring me that chair, I will sell ...
One of my students posed the question, “Why does tradition suggest that we should plant our seed potatoes on Good Friday?” Yes, my student stumped me and motivated me to research the origins of this advice. The answer lies in the global history of food crops. Native to the mountains of ...
