I got that cast iron skillet 
I MEAN 
years ago now

& I had to season it
& first I had to get
the stuff 
to season it with 
& MULTIPLE 

HOT
🔥
HOURS

in the kitchen in the 
SUMMER*
*I'm pretty sure 

I just ended up 
putting it away 

I got it out
I didn't like remember it & go looking for it, as such 

BUGS 

BUT 
I asked myself 
are you pretty sure you seasoned it ONCE

YES

well let's get rid of the kitchy lavender pan
that pre1960 birmingham stove & range
is GONNA have
the juice

my gran gran had aluminum club pans
from the BIG BONUS STAMPS place

my mom had something LIKE 
Le Creuset
enamel over cast iron

I think Joan had enamelware 

Bob 
had some revereware pots & some cast iron 
SKILLETS

it's more intentional 
the maintenance of the cast iron
it's NOT hard
BUT 

you HAVE to do it
or you have
VARYING 
OUTCOMES

SOAP is not VERY good for the FINISH

BUT 
I feel like I used soap when I washed his pans
you just have to oil them
BUT 
I understand a little BETTER now, I think 

you KINDA bake in an oily waxy layer
which you have to
KINDA
maintain 

AND
that also protects the cast iron
that rusts if it gets wet

ANYWAY 
then you gotta deal with the RUST before you can cook in the pan again

you've gotta use oil

non-stick pans
are
EASIER & you don't have to use oil

I enjoy non-stick pans

I enjoy cast iron
if I have it ON the stove 
I will USE it -- which is what I bought it for 

AND
the pre1960 is because it doesn't say

MADE in the USA

1960 we officially started doing that

birmingham stove and range 
it's got the characteristic HANDLE
the dome lid
has random inverted dimples 
which SEEMS 
to be saying the same thing twice
BUT 
I've heard multiple people say it that way 

I cooked some hamburger 
seemed like a good trial run

I have this new way I do it

I don't KNOW here whether I should say
I don't really think you
WANT
the DETAILS because 
although I would 
I'm actually feeling like you MIGHT NOT

BUT 
ALSO 
I need to go to bed
SO
I'd LOVE to tell you
LATER 

teaser trailer--
is nutritional yeast really doing anything 
I'm not feeling any different 


goodnight sweetheart 💋
I LOVE you VERY much 🫶
