[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I just got my LUSH discontinued items in the mail!! I got the Slammer shower gel, which smells like jellybeans (YUM), and Lime Smoothie, which is so deliciously fresh limey that I want to jump into a vat of it right now. I might need a shower...

move out and draw fire

Cool! I liked the shoes in theory, but would break my ankle in practice.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Hil R., Check out Fisher's Hardware in Springfield, VA, for inexpensive cast iron. Or, I have a skillet I really could give away to a good home for free. (I use my Dutch oven more often than my skillet.)

Hil, make sure that you season it first (coat with a light film of high temp oil, then bake at low heat for 15 minutes) Also, don't use soap on it, and season it every time you use it.

Agreed. That's how mine are cared for.

It's not that hard. You rinse it out after you're done, rub some oil in it, then put it in the oven to dry while you do the rest of the clean up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I ruined somebody's cast iron pan one time. We were volunteering and we'd ended up with kitchen cleanup. I scrubbed that sucker down. Thought I was doing such a good job. Whoops!

I didn't know. But I do now!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

you can't ruin cast iron. You just have to reseason it. My Mom washes hers with soap all the time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My great-aunt left me a stack of graduated iron skillets that hadn't been washed in...ever. There was a lot of yeck fired hard onto the outside on the bottoms. We used to burn paper trash in a barrel before our neighborhood was annexed by the city, and my dad rigged up a spit over the burning barrel and let the skillets hang *in* the fire for an hour or two. Burned every single thing away, right down to bare cast iron. We seasoned them well, made sure to care for them properly, and we're still using them. They're probably close to 100 years old now.

You can "ruin" cast iron cookware by leaving it to soak so long it rusts, but if you scour the rust away and season the pan properly, it will continue to serve. Hard to kill them.
