Do you have a geek living under your roof? Do you know someone who has a geek living under their roof? Odds are that the answer is yes to one or both of these questions. Guess what? Geeks like to eat too! Really they do. And, if you’re not cooking for them, that means they’re [...]
Day 9… I’ve got one or two in my kitchen, you probably do too. My first one I got as a birthday gift a bunch of years ago. Since then I’ve picked up a dutch oven and a couple of smaller pans. And, I love using all of them. What? The humble cast iron skillet [...]
