This article discusses Cast Iron cookware and that Cast Iron might be the greenest choice for non-stick cookware.
I bought the lovely Cherie a five piece set of Lodge (the gold standard of the genre') cookware at their Tennessee outlet store when Corey and I hit the Volunteer State last season and I will tell you that I love cooking in them.
I had bought Cherie a cast iron skillet in the past and I liked it enough to buy some more.
The other skillet was not a Lodge however and the Lodges quickly moved the other pan to the back of the pack.
I could not recommend Lodge Cast Iron items any higher and those of you that need new cookware or are looking for a great gift for the person that likes to cook,think about Lodge.
Plus,these will last forever and can be passed down as an almost heirloom through your families.
The lovely one enjoys the blog and television show of Ree Drummond-The Pioneer Woman.
Mrs,Drummond must be on a book tour or something as she hit Pittsburgh and writes about Primanti Brothers and their terrific sandwiches.
Mrs.Drummond recommends the Pastrami,which I will have to try,although I loved the Corned Beef in my last stop and Pastrami will have to go a long way to beat that!
By the way,the lovely one also fixes Primanti style sandwiches here and they are as close to the real thing as one can get from cooking at home!
The Lake County Captains have made their entry into the massive food item derby with the Moby Dick fish sandwich.Check this baby out,fish lovers: Three-pounds of food including five quarter-pound fish filets, eight slices of cheese, six ounces of clam strips, one-third pound of french fries, one cup of cole slaw, handfuls of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and tartar sauce on a 15-inch sesame seed roll.
The Moby will cost you in dollars and calories as in twenty dollars and four THOUSAND calories....
There is a new number two person in Hamburgers as Wendy's has supplanted Burger King at the second spot on the totem pole for the first time since Wendy's was started in 1969.
Wendy's nipped BK 8.5 billion to 8.4 billion to grab the second spot,although Subway and Starbucks had higher sales than both.
McDonald's is still the clearcut number one as Wendy's and Burger King combined do not make up half of the Golden Arches total....
And finally this article deals with WalMart and their wonderful habit of building stores to fit their use and no one besides them,only to leave them hollow and empty as they build "Supercenters" on previously vacant land.
WalMart pulled that stunt here,but the biggest offender is the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores.
The plague of empty Lowe's stores that were built in the 1990's,only to be abandoned in less than five years is a blight on small cities/towns across the country.
It took this area years and only in this past year to finally get any kind of use of the abandoned Lowes store locally....
