Won a bet on the election?

[Terrierman]

I knew it.

I won a Chiefs hat and six chickens on last years superbowl.  Still no hat and no chickens.  Your guy is better than mine were.

Hah! Didn't bet, but would have lost.

Let's say I found a $20 bill in my winter coat pocket.

Happy for your good fortune Ness.

I have a Marcella Hazen style shredded carrot salad with radish mad tonight and a wiener/potato/sauerkraut casserole baking. I am looking forward to this meal.

     OK I had to try one of the methods restoring one of my cast iron crusty skillets. http://www.castironcollector.com/restore.php#

Used the Aerosol oven cleaner method. Needed two soaks but was very happy with the results. Then I re seasoned it . Did not have any crisco so I used goose fat. Upped the temp to 370 as goose fat has a higher smoking point. Here is how it turned out,

  Here is the same skillet before cleaning and re seasoning,

     So after bumming around this morning I came home hungry and couldn't wait to try the skillet. A good old egg sammich was what I wanted. A three egged one at that. A little goose fat was melted in the skillet and then the three eggs. As they were getting done I broke the yolks and swirled them in the whites and dusted with S&P. We had bought a round loaf of New York salt rye bread at hyvee the other day so I sliced off a couple of slices. One side of each I spread some goose fat on. Flipped the eggs and when done pitched the bread slices in the skillet to toast. When both sides were toasted on went the eggs and a squirt of yellow mustard. No disappointments I was happy,

     For you that think I am a bit touched for using the goose fat. Better for you than butter. Plus my goose fat is taken from the wild and for all intensive purposes is antibiotic free but may of feed on designer waste grains in places .

     After feasting a hot water bath and scrub clean. Back onto the stove top burner for a quick heat dry. I think after this all of my vintage iron will be getting this royal treatment soon. One at a time. Baby steps,
