OP Grangerize - never heard it before, do not expect ever to see it again. But it reminded me of "Grange" a rural tradition that I expect is close to being extinct. It is an association of farm people, but there are so few small farms left that Grange membership must be now very small. But my kids used to be happy to participate in the local Grange fairs, and exhibit their vegetables, animals, and craft projects. Bet few AWADtalk members have ever heard of it.
