Recipes and gardening are easy reading and a good distraction from this year. <br /><br />Congrats on the cast iron purchases. I have some of my grandmother's cast iron skillets and corn-stick pans. No brand name. My grandparents lived on a farm in Georgia, so either my Grandfather purchased or bartered them or my grandmother brought them to the farm.<br /><br />You can also cook pizza in a cast iron skillet on the stove top. It will be a smaller pizza, but works a treat in the summer when you don't want to use the oven. Pre-heat the cast skillet (it will need a lid). When the skillet is very hot, slide your pizza in and cover it. The cheese won't get the darker bits like in the oven, but you should be able to get a good crust. A well seasoned skillet won't need any oil. I have also used a skillet to re-heat pizza when I did not want to use the oven. <br /><br />I also have a lodge griddle (round with a handle and slightly raised edges. Have not used it much, but it looked like an interesting pan.<br /><br />M in NC<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-71917663101230080812020-12-29T04:45:17.954-06:002020-12-29T04:45:17.954-06:00I had no idea about Lodge's bakeware line.

Making a meatloaf in a cast iron skillet is Fantastic.<br />You're going to really enjoy that pizza pan. It should make for some wonderful pizzas. I do use my largest cast iron skillet for making pizza as well as using my pizza stones. I put my stone or skillet in the oven getting hot while the oven is preheating.<br />I have 3 different sizes of the pizza stones of which I use all the time; not just for pizza but for baking biscuits,etc.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-50728171580355177802020-12-28T20:11:39.292-06:002020-12-28T20:11:39.292-06:00I got a hazy look at the Christmas star because it...I got a hazy look at the Christmas star because it was pretty cloudy here. You got a good picture of it – even with all the lights of downtown Houston. <br />I love cooking with cast iron also – skillet, Dutch oven, and my treasured smaller skillet that was my grandma’s. Cooking in cast iron is so much easier and the food cooks so well. I just recently bought the pizza pan. 2nd Man’s cast iron pie pan sounds great, especially for his pot pies. <br />The portable power and jump starter is a wonderful gift. You’re going to be so happy that you have it. During March and April when I was mostly staying home due to Covid, I had to use mine several times to start the car because my battery went down. <br />Your Christmas dinner looks delicious! Homemade mac and cheese – mmm! And it’s great to have that leftover ham to make subsequent meals easier – purrfect for cat nappers. Sometimes, you just have to paws and relax. You gotta be kitten me right meow. Sleeping and eating during the long weekend makes you two the cat’s meow! Catitude is everything!

One thing that I read about my portable starter, which my cousin had to learn the hard way, is that one should top off the charge from time to time. (Mine says every 90 days.) That being said, mine has changed my life, and I hope yours will do the same for you!

Hubby watched football and I was in my craft room reorganizing all my card / craft supplies, rubber stamps, etc. A good job done. Even manages to move some thing out to my 'she' shed.<br />Took down all my Christmas (Cross-Mas tree)decorations yesterday and got some it moved out to the shed to store for next year.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.com
