I use to stand at the work table where my Grandma would work all her magic.. She made all her doughs in this big wooden bowl. One day I ask why she didn't use another bowl and she told me all that love she used had soaked into that one. And that's the reason why her breads and pastries were so good. It had to be so... they were the best around. Thanks Grandma for the memories.. :)
