I recently wrote an article for Ezinearticles entitled “Cast Iron Skillet – The Only Pan You’ll Ever Need?”

My son Alex and his cousin have their birthdays within two weeks of each other [...]

My wife and I made a Mother’s Day Supper for my Mom this Sunday.
Supper consisted of Pizza and Apple Pie. Cooked in a Lodge 12-Inch Skillet . On the BBQ. Yes, I know, that is very cool.

We all know it’s just a matter of time before some super-secret military research project goes awry and releases hordes of brain-eating undead creatures into our midst. I’m sure that most of you are prepared, with a shotgun under your bed, a crowbar in your gym bag and a samurai sword over your mantle. But [...]

Cinquo de Mayo is almost here, which got me thinking about Mexican food. That in turn got me thinking about Chili con Carne, which isn’t Mexican food, but likely originated in the South Western United States. Then I got thinking that I was hungry, so I decided to cook me some Chili.
