Ah. I wonder if that's it. I'm originally from upstate NY and moved to 
Central PA, and I'm an herbalist by avocation, have been for the last 25 
years or so. So, as I learned to season things (I was cooking for our 
family by the time I was 14) I used herbs a lot, but avoided hot 
pepper.. even though my dad liked it.
