Working Poor

Best thing to cook cornbread in. Get it hot, pour the batter in, get lovely crust. Yum. It's also great to make things like shepherd's pie, or a casserole in. I brown my ground beef, drain, mix in the other stuff and put it in the oven.

I still have the triple-wall stainless steel waterless cookware set I bought in 1976. I made payments on it for months, and for years I thought I'd been a fool to buy it, but it's lasted all this time. The biggest pot (stock pot) has lost it's bottom layer, but it still cooks well. Tip: don't ever set one of the pans on a hot burner without something in it. DH (damned husband) never learned that, it eventually messed up the pan.

Still have the crock pot my mother gave me for Christmas in 1981. Works great, cooks the best pot of pinto beans, makes good stock, love cooking a whole chicken in it. I really need to use it more.

Theme of this post: I seldom get rid of things. Use it up, wear it out, make do, do without.
