Fall projects

We have had a number of cast iron skillets, dutch ovens, corn bread pans, etc stored in our garage for a long time. It was always Dan's intentions to "clean them up" one day. I was never really interested in cooking with cast iron. But since I like use the things that I have, I have decided to clean up the cast iron stuff and begin using it. It my research on cooking and caring for cast iron I have discovered that: 1. Food generally taste better, 2. when seasoned correctly, food doesn't stick and 3. I may be able to quit taking a daily iron supplement as the cast iron will increase levels of iron in the food. These are some pics of my newly cleaned and seasoned cast iron pots.


For my birthday we cleaned out the garage. This was amazing! Dan actually got rid of 3 truckloads of junk and he survived! Kendall brought his saw over and made some shelves for me and i have a lot of my canning, gardening and camping stuff neatly stowed away.
