Yeah Lumpy, I agree and think the only things that nonstick is good for are eggs and omelettes. I've owned one cast iron skillet and completely fucked it up and didn't season it well and got rid of it after using it just a few times. My grandmothers each had some pretty mean skillets though that probably never saw a drop of water. I'm sure that one of their kids not my parents rifled through their possessions shortly after death and took them or threw them away. I need to look into stainless.

All in all I was happy with the dish despite my less than ideal cookware.

No grape jelly?

[Lumpy]

You can make scrambled eggs and omelettes in a stainless steel pan, just keep the heat sort of medium/low (a good idea for eggs, too, you don't usually want high heat).

No grape jelly?

I'm almost out and actually have to get more tonight because I'll be eating a lot of PBJs whilst traveling or work this weekend.

Sounds complicated.

   Can Grape Jelly be used to season the Pan ?

Moar pork. Needs more green or red. But great chops.

So who's doing what for thanksgiving this year?

I'm really dumbing it down this year. Only having a few people over. They want traditional. Not even doing a whole bird just breast and rib portions and two drumsticks. Roasted with crispy skin. Garlic mashers and bomb ass gravy I've already started on. An updated green bean casserole, scratch cranberries sauce, and scratch rolls.

We'll start off with a variety of cured meats and cheeses and some onion dip I will make today so it's really melded by tomorrow. Will also have some fancy wines and cellared beers I have on hand.

Then the $34 punkin pie with whipped cream for dessert.

You?

I made a pumpkin cheesecake yesterday. 

[RAGER]

Right on. I've found that cheesecakes are really good after they age about a week in fridge.

Green bean casserole - recipe from the container of onions and I'll add some other shit.

[RAGER]

I'm doing a different kind of green bean casserole but I'm using the French's onions.

my lovely assistant has been battling some stomach issues as of late so we may not be doing much. at this point it looking like a salami sandwich for me and maybe a bowl of chicken soup for her, or cream of mushroom.

[RAGER]

Dang it. Sorry to hear.

[renfield]

Hope she feels better, D

I bought a duck, never cooked one before.

[RAGER]

I wish my wife liked duck. I'm sure you'll rock it. Savor the skin as a side.

Departure Bar here does a whole duck dinner serving it like 4-5 different ways as the meal progresses.
