Jilli, here's a site that tells you what to do- basically, you wash it in hot soapy water, grease it up with Crisco and put it in a low oven.

Jilli, you've remembered right, you should clean and season the pan. Google found me this [link] . See also the info at Wikipedia: [link]

I inherited a 10-inch skillet from my grandmother. She got it from her mother-in-law, who received it new as a wedding present in 1894. It's what I use whenever I am in the mood for cornbread.

Sophia, your tag is cracking me up "Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here"

What is it from? It made me think of Mikeyway's cat.

Yay! Thank you Nora and dcp!

Trudy, I think it was a Japanese site with costumes for animals that was linked a few years back. Pretty hysterical.

OMG, Trudy! Is that Bunny Marie?!

Happy, happy, happy birthday to Nicole! With cake and hugs and love!

That IS Bunny Marie.

I am alarmed that we know the names of the pets of the guys in the band we like.

Oooh! I met Frank's chihuahua!

Brenda is right-- I have had that tag ever since it was linked.

And Bunny is almost my favorite band pet, but I am also fond of Dylan and Clover (Jon Walker's cat's) and little Rigby Wentz.

Also, you met Frank's Chihuahua!?! Was it fat like his other dogs (Mama?)

Happy Birthday, Nicole!

I'm so sad about Paul Newman! My heart goes out to Joann.

These are my thoughts, exactly.

We are home from the car show. It was much too hot and much too sunny (I know, what should I expect from Florida). It was also one of the worst run shows we have ever been to.

Hub's car got a lot of looks. There was some interest in mine but nothing like it deserved (total bias here). The behavior was as if it wasn't a late model Steeda, Rousch, Saleen or Cobra it wasn't worth their time. Part of the charm of mine is that it is a totally tricked out V6 that is driven daily and not something we spend 30G+ on and just drive recreationally. Almost all of the mods have been done by us, too. Unless you look under the hood, you would never know it was a V6.

In the end neither of us won an award. The club sponsoring the show were ridiculously clique-ish. Only people in the club won anything. My feeling is if they are going to do that, why open it up to others? No one from that club even approached us about joining.

Ah, well. We thought it might end up like that. Doesn't make it any more fair or less frustrating.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!!

Also, you met Frank's Chihuahua!?! Was it fat like his other dogs (Mama?)

Mama is like three Chihuahuas.

Frank was signing autographs with one hand and holding Mama in the other the first night in Philadelphia the last time MCR toured. It was adorable.
