I just buy the pre-shredded frozen Russet Burbank, heat it in a pan with a bit of oil, flip it all when it browns on one side, and then cut it up into portion sized chunks at the end, adding a little salt and pepper. It's not bourgeoisie, but it will do.

Yeah, pretty much what I do as well.  I despise using a shredder and end up shredding at least one finger in the process.....  I do throw in chopped onion with mine, but I'm weird.

So in other words, I'm not allowed to tell you what I'm talking about.

But you can pack me some mahi mahi in some dry ice and ship it?  Because Missouri think "fresh" fish is a catfish with two heads from the Mississippi River.

I'm so jealous, I miss fresh snd for that matter edible seafood.....

WOW!!! He's looking good there!  Ya done good Roger.  I understand the 3 foot one week and out the door the next.  You should be proud!!  Send him a care package, who in the world thinks 4800 calories a day would sustain a growing boy like that.

mmmmmmm mahi mahi....  you can't blame the shark.   

I'm surprised there aren't cameras monitoring the water around the boat to begin with.  It's a research vessel right?  Maybe I misunderstood.

although i didn't do it on my cast iron pan, i have heard that you get a much better non stick surface (and more quickly seasoned) if you take an orbital sander to it to get it as smooth as possible before you start the process.
i can totally see that, since the pan i got, and all the others i've seen in the store since hearing that, have a fairly rough surface at purchase.

you know anything about that, Hustle?

Never tried it myself but it makes sense to me.

I was under the impression that the rough surface of the pan is what allows it to absorb the fats to be seasoned?

No the bumps make little pockets and will, if left, cause the pan to eventually have hotspots.  You should ever so often sand your cast iron and re-season it to keep it smooth and avoid places where food will stick.

I do it about once a year with mine.

Yep. Now you get it.

Thinking/saying that you're part of the solution because you're not adding to the problem is a false equation.

It would be like a man saying to you, "I'm totally not sexist; I don't even hit my wife. If everybody treated women the way I do, sexism wouldn't even be an issue; therefore, I am helping to end domestic violence".

So because I feel that the officer was being racist is a direct result of my living in a neighborhood (try to find one in this city that doesn't have a high crime rate btw) that has a high crime rate?  Not that he was in the wrong, but I am wrong for being upset with what he said and for living where I do?

When my children are not accepted into programs because of their color, it is my fault for having them in a city school where they are the  minority?  Not that myself or my kids are being profiled?

Is that what you are saying?

So I'm the one in the wrong?  Is that what is being said here?

I want to be really clear before the accusations of my being a bitch start flying.

So here is a question. Where I live my children and I are the minority.  I have found, on more than one occasion, that the prejudice is rarely, if ever, in our favor.  Yet if I bring it to anyone's attention, I'm the one called racist. 

For example, when we were robbed recently the black officer actually asked "What did you expect, moving into this neighborhood?"  My response was "What?  Because I'm white I should expect to be robbed?" to which he just shrugged.

I think anytime anyone regardless of race or religion is treated with prejudice it is wrong.

That is absolutely insane, it says in the commercials and such that the movie is silent, the lack of sound would be MY first clue.

How stupid can people be?



Nevermind.....

Will have to take a closer look next time I'm at the store then. Got tax money coming and one of the things we want to get are new pots and pans (damn teflon is coming off what we have)

If you can't find caphalon then get cast iron, it lasts forever, what I have was my grandmother's and will eventually be my daughter's. 

Hubby would love to have cast iron, but we haven't been able to find it either. Gonna have to make a trip to Tampa, I think.

Maybe online?  Or I know many of the Cabella's or other camping hunting type stores have them.
