TWO STORIES
When I asked my mother for a blintze recipe, not only did she send a recipe, but a paper pattern, numbered, so I would know exactly how to fold my dough.

When my grandmother made kreplach for Shavuot, she would wrap a dish towel around the pot and put it to bed, under the pillow, to keep the kreplach warm. You might call that the earliest microwave oven!
