Even though I have quite a collection of All-Clad and a couple odd non-stick fry pans, I really like cooking in cast iron pans. I prefer the older pans when I can get them, they seem to have fewer hot spots and they have a smoother surface texture, but I will purchase a newer pan when it is something that I can not find or get in an old pan - like the Lodge lasagna pan.

I figure I will just start taking pictures of pans and adding them to this blog now and then, just to get some more playing time with my camera.

I finally got myself a lid for my Griswold square fry 9 1/2" pan today. This is my favourite bacon and hot sandwich pan. As you can see it is just the glass lid so I am still looking for one with the cast iron lid.

The fall convention this year will be held on September 1st & 2nd in the White School Park Building at the corner of 1st and Morson streets in La Pine, OR. MAP

The DOG will be held on Saturday evening. This will be a large gathering. Plenty of dutch oven cooks for you to talk with and plenty of food for you to sample.
