My minutes to myself are happening right now . . . And I'm using one to type this very important message!
Happy Birthday, Lee!
I got stupid. The money was too good.

I like my Revereware pots and pans. But I also have a cast iron pan that used to be my Dad's. It's great for eggs and suchlike. The Revereware set was a graduation gift in 1989. After 23 years of regular use it still looks new.

I like vintage revere ware and the Calphlon higher end stainless steel. Not the simply Calphlon line. I think they may be discontinued, because I got a lot of them on steep clearance.
ETA: It seems the line I have, which is the commercial stainless steel is discontinued. They still have the commercial hard anodized [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, yeah, like it's finals week and he hasn't been sleeping much and he just can't get that damn pickle jar to open! That would really fry his tentacles.
Hahahaha!!
Happy birthday, Lee!

I own one nonstick frying pan for eggs, one cast iron for high-heat searing, and everything else is stainless steel.
I can't remember if it was Cook's Illustrated or Alton Brown - I think it may have been both - but for nonstick you want to buy medium-cheap so you can replace it when it scratches. There's a trade-off in nonstick coating between durability and nonstickyness. CI recommends Farberware.

I woke up this morning to my cat puking blood. Yikes. So I can get him into the vet this afternoon, but had to make it a little later than the first available, because I have a call with a headhunter at that time! My day just got a little too exciting.
