OK, so I thought of one thing, I cannot understand why some folks make green salads and leave the cherry tomatoes whole. I hate biting into a cherry tomato and having it explode in my mouth. The only ones I leave whole are no larger than the tip of my little finger. The others are cut in half.

Doing this almost became ceremonial and had, apparently, been passed down from grandmother to mother to daughter. Now the great granddaughter was watching her Mom prepare the turkey and, noting the solemness of the occasion, asked the Mom why she did and the Mom, having not thought about this before, said she did not really know. To find out, they called Grandma, who also did not know so they called Great Grandma, was still living. Her answer: To allow the large turkey to fit into her small oven.Sure makes one wonder why we do some things.
