Just a quick side note.... Thanks so much to all who visited my blog from the UBP! I haven't had a lot of spare time lately, but I plan on visiting all of you soon! Also, thanks to all my subscribers!

Ok, so let's talk about cast iron cookware! I have some! I love it! In my opinion, Lodge makes the very best!

I have one large skillet, two dutch ovens, and one reversible grill! I use my skillet almost every day! Nothing makes fried potatoes or cornbread like a cast iron skillet. Am I right?? Heck yeah!
Not that we eat them every day, I use it for anything that would be fried or sauted. But, unlike our forefathers (or foreMOTHERS), I use olive oil (one of the best diet supplements, in my opinion)almost exclusively to cook with.

The only bad thing about cast iron cookware, is getting and keeping that shiny, black, non-stick surface. It takes a bit of maintenance, but it's easy and doesn't take that long. I came across a great article about caring for your cast iron on Hobby Farms, in case you need to learn how to take care of yours! It's called Clean and Refurbish Cast Iron.

Really, my only problem with all my cast iron, is finding a good spot to store it. I usually keep it in my oven, but it's really too much weight. I think I may have my hubby find the 2x4's in the wall, and put up some strong hangers. Wouldn't my kitchen look so rustic, with all those skillets and things hanging around? LOL If you have any ideas about that, let me know!
