This is a group blog by and for people who are walking anachronisms. We gladly let things pass us by on the information superhighway and other frenetic pathways. We honor the sensibility of time-tested wisdom, and sometimes feel like exiles in our prefab apartments and four-door sedans. Here you might find a recipe for a peasant dish or a tip on where to buy grandma food in various locales, some old-fashioned housekeeping , DIY or container gardening advice, or reminders of nearly-extinct folkways and arts. The things your grandparents might have taught you, but didn’t think you wanted to know.
