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]
Happy Birthday, Lee! Happy Belated Birthday, Nora!

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.
Happy birthdays Lee, Nora, and baby panda!
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.
Happy once and future birthday, Nora!

Immigrants having babies! Scandal at 8:00! Cuddly, adorable scandal!
Happy birthday, Lee! I would like to assure you that, evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, your birthday has not been outsourced to China.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, all!
Happy Phoenix day!
I want an anchor panda.
Me too!
