I just had an email exchange with one of my boys that reminded me of something that happened long ago.
Thought you guys might appreciate it.
When I was a kid my Mom and Dad took us kids to the Pennsylvania Dutch Folklife Festival in Kutztown, PA every year. One year when I was curious about everything I was fascinated with the process of making apple butter. The stuff was cooked for hours and hours in big copper pots over an open fire. It had to be stirred constantly so it wouldn't stick and burn. This was accomplished with long handled stirring sticks which allowed the person stirring to stand back from the hot fire.
Intrigued by the process, I walked up to one lady stirring the mixture and asked her how long they cooked the stuff.
"Why, 'till it's DONE!" came the reply.
