The pulled pork barbecue I made yesterday for dinner was quite tasty but I HATE trying to clean that roasting pan. *sigh* It's been soaking with detergent all night and it's still being sticky and icky.

Get yourself some washing soda (laundry aisle ), it will remove the nastiest of stickies from your cookware, but be warned, it will eat aluminum, so stick with enameled and stainless cookware. Note, most stainless cookware has aluminum rivet to hold the handles on, washing soda will eat the rivets if left too long, don't submerge the rivets and you'll be just fine.

The other helpful item I use in the kitchen are stainless steel scrubbies to use on the stainless cookware, better than steel wool SOS pads or scotch brite scrubbies. Don't use them on non-stick pans, or you'll remove the non-stick coating along with whatever is stuck to it. I've not used the washing soda on a non-stick surface to know how it will react, attempt this at your own risk.

If you keep doing that you will go blind.

Great <horny> minds think alike!

I soaked it over night with heavy duty dish soap, which got most of it off. Then I soaked it all day yesterday again with new water and soap to get some more of it off. Then I took a metal spatula and scraped, and then scrubbed the rest off.

The problem is I only have one 9x13 pan so it does double duty as a roaster (the pork) and then lasagna pan (which we had for dinner last night.) So I needed it two days in a row.

Tonight the kids are with their other parent, and I am going out for dinner and some drinks with a friend so I am not scrubbing a damn thing. I would not have made a good scullery maid.

Scrubbing, blech! That's why I use cast iron or pyrex.

Note to self: Why should the narrow-minded insults of someone I have zero respect for have any impact at all?

I don't find that roasting in pyrex gives me quite the bark that I get from a regular roasting pan. So we scrub. *sigh*

They shouldn't. Sometimes even the opinions of those we care about shouldn't. But they do.

hugs, hugs, and more hugs

On to the blurt!
I hate that clown I hate that clown I hate that clown I hate that clown I hate that clown! Thank goodness it was balanced out by the comic relief of one of my favorite actresses, Jessica Lange, doing a truly dismal German accent. Mein Gott in Himmel!

That's where cast iron comes in to play. A skillet or dutch oven does wonders. I bake pies, just about anything in a cast iron skillet.

I'm not a huge fan of the cast iron. (My Southern relatives are all rolling over in their graves right now.) Had 3 skillets and sold them at a yard sale. I just didn't like them. I've a weirdo.

Hahaha some people are like that, some love it, some hate it. You may resume your scubbing, I will step down from my soapbox.

Scrubbing was done on Tuesday. Needed the pan for lasagna, which was delightful I might add.

My training will finally be over today, and then I have 48 hours to take the test. Two weeks worth of very detailed, very specific training, all on one test. I'm ascared.

Do you think he's part of the freak show or just a crazy local taking advantage of the fact that there's a freak show in town?

I wish I'd watched it....

Wonder if they'll replay the premier...

Hopefully they will. If not, I think they'll probably put them OnDemand. They did last season, anyway.

I don't think he's part of the freak show, but too early to tell. Creepy as fuck though!

I'm sure they will. I think it's already ondemand. They broke out the freak from the jump this time, no easing into things. lol.

Here at the bunk-house one of the guys burned something whilst camping in a dutch-oven. He then left it outside in the desert for about a year. Occasional rain and acidic dirt and mud. It was quite rusty.

I soaked the crusty stuff out of it...scrubbed it with a Scotch-brite pad with some oxalic acid.

Then I oiled it down with canola inside and out.

Baked it in the oven at 325 for a little over an hour. Came out looking new.

Food slides right out of it.

When I started posting here, my two oldest girls were 7 and 4. They're now 16 and 14 and just went to their first semi-formal Homecoming dance. *wipes tear*

[pete]

I was TV-angelicaled out of my bed this morning.

My neighbors must be deaf. I could have sworn Pastor Paul was beside the bed shouting Hallelujah. I'm all for a joyful noise and all but gee whiz!

If you take offense, that's just the holy spirit driving the devil from your mortal coil!

Don't worry, you're not alone, the devil in me doesn't much care for that cacophonous noise either.

Sometimes it worries me how hard I can clamp down on my feelings.
