Hang in there. Some of us can feel your pain more than others. I've been sidelined twice during the pandemic for two months at a shot (not COVID, just 2 surgeries).

And @Mikie's putting in 4 months, and he's old - he's on borrowed time already! :whistling:
 
Putin talking about reducing the west to ashes, and mentioning his nuclear capabilities...

Referring to Ukraine as a "Nazi fascist regime" - completely opposite of what it is

Oh Sh!t - there's a madman on the loose with the world's first or second most powerful nuclear arsenal. Sh!t's about to get real.
 
No one wins in a nuclear war. This shouldn’t have happened.

this is brining back memories of hiding under the table drills in elementary. Praying this doesn’t escalate.

Putin meeting with Pakistan to discuss a “pipeline”. Wtf. It’s crazy how one man can be so powerful. Dangerous.

I finally made the switch to stainless steel frying pans and I think they are awesome! Also bought a cast iron skillet that I can’t wait to try.

how’s that for a pivot?

I got tired of buying throw away pots and pans and wanted a lifetime set, so on prime day a few years ago bought a set of All Clad stainless for about 60%off. An hour later the price was back to normal.

Took a bit to figure out how to cook on the stainless so it doesn't stick, but once i did that they are awesome and worth every penny. Best part is I'll never have to shop fit then again.

Like a good knife set, buy quality once and they'll last a lifetime. :thumbsup:
 
I’ve been sitting on a set of d5 all clad for a few months. The price of stainless in general has been climbing for the last couple years so no discount on the set I purchased. It’s just a small set. 10.5 and 8.5.

The le crouset skillet I purchased was 50 bucks off so pretty happy about that.

I’ve gone from binge watching MTB videos to seasoning pans and cooking techniques videos lately.

definitely looking at knives next. I’m afraid of spending good coin on one and then ruining it when I go to sharpen it.

Yes, this is very bad juju. Let's hope that containment works. Having spent a day or two in opposition to the Russian (Soviet at the time) military, I'm not real pumped on the idea of escalation. I feel for the Ukrainian people, but we have no treaty obligations and we really do need to carefully consider going forward.

I'd be the last person to suggest getting in there militarily.

I was diving, training Astronauts for weightless operations. Deep in the heart of Dixie. I could not get Mejican food, or even Tejican food. But I could buy peppers. So I went to a Super Wallyworld and bought a cast-iron Skillet. The large southern lady at the register says to me "A wife could do a lot of damage with this one". I almost died from laughter. That was long ago and I still use cast iron, and still find it funny to this day
Happy ion free trails. Don't forget to eat your food with Iodized Salt. Your thyroid will thank me later.
I season my pans with oil and mostly just cooking. Wipe them down, don't sink them under water as they will rust "Cast Iron" = rust. I like them because they hold heat, other pans cool when you add food. I never heard of salting, and I have no reason to try now. I have my old 12" and have added on since. I have one pan with raised ribs which allows me to make those TV perfect meals with the Cris-crossed grill lines on the meat. But who really needs to have TV perfect food? So 90% of the time it is just flat iron skillet time. Sometimes I even whip out the Dutch oven. Most of mine are from Lodge Iron works but I like quality in my 1800's cookware. Lodge is in deep in the heart of Dixie.

Good quality sharpening steel for the win. A few swipes every couple times you use it and it'll stay razor sharp forever. Always use a cutting board, and NEVER put them in the dish washer. Mine are used daily, many years old and very sharp. If I can't cut a tomato very easily then they are considered dull.
 
Who the heck needs pots & pans? My wife has every cooking gadget known to man and I still cook on the grill about 5 days a week. Between the Traeger and the Kamado there ain’t much I can’t do.
I can’t convince her to invest in a good set of knives. My dad always taught me that more people get hurt with dull knives than sharp ones.
