  • Nah, have you owned one?

    If I cook something super greasy in one, like bacon or a burger, its completely okay to use a little bit of dawn to help remove the grease, I’ve done it plenty of times and it doesnt injure the pan.

    For most applications, I just use coarse salt, a softer steel wool, and hot water to clean my cast iron after cooking. The pan doesn’t feel greasy, and if it does, a splash of dawn dish soap does the trick. Just heat the pan to dry it.

    More often my cast iron needs to be oiled, (I’ve been liking avocado oil lately) but you want to leave the thinest layer on the cooking surface as possible. It’s not grease, just seasoned.












  • Target was my first job a few years after this happened to you. While my favorite is how nearly all retail will only give you 34 hours maximum so they don’t have to give you benefits, while also having you work a different shifts each day, with never two days off in a row, and that schedule is going to never be the same two weeks in a row- making it impossible to live a normal life or work a second job-

    While thats so cool of these companies, Target is were my first cry and the hands of a customer happened. This white dude suit comes though my line, he’s with a young person, and he was buying basically out entire “back to school” (college) section. Hundreds of dollars.

    His card declined. It didn’t just decline, it asked to call a number to get the transaction approved. I, as a teenager myself, tried to explain. This man berated me like no one ever did since to be honest. He pulled the “I make more money than everyone in this room combined”. He was mean.

    My manager was really good about it when she came to help me. She even let me take an extra break after. Ill never forget that interaction. “What radicalized you”, this was one if them. Basic Human decency is free. What was he teaching that college aged kid in that moment? Why do some people tie money to whether or not you are a good person? I’ll never understand.

    Anyway, about 7 months later I walked out due to this dumb bitch Amanda, power tripping square, who was just mad her crush liked me and not her. I didnt like him back, but she was targeting me for it. I said fuck this and fuck you to her face, and walked out mid shift.

    Target sucks balls. I’ve never made enough money to shop there with any real consistency anyway.


  • I’m sorry. Cabot is better than any store brand I’ve had, I only started buying it because it is regional to me years ago.

    There may still be some local cheese brands available to you. Small farm cheese makers make some good stuff. At one point in my life, I didn’t eat much meat or dairy, but when I did, I bought what was local to me, even if it was expensive, and cherished it each time I indulged. I respected that locally made small farm cheese like it was the god of cheeses and gave it utmost culinary respect, while trying to make it last as long as possible.

    Suffer on your own terms I say. If you want good cheese, have good cheese, the suffer would be you have less cheese overall, but at least when you do, you know it is quality and supports local makers.
