CAST IRON SKILLET

Through the years I have used many different pots and pans to do my cooking. I've had cheap skillets, aluminum based pots, T-Fal

(a really good one) and some old "Guardian Service" picked up from yard sales. Somehow I always find myself going back to my ole' cast iron skillets.

Cast iron really heats everything evenly, and for frying, it just can't be beat! I don't even know if it's possible to fry potatoes in anything else, at least to my liking.

Cast iron has one problem; you aren't supposed to wash it and when you do it can rust. I don't know about you, but wiping out a skillet I've cooked in just doesn't feel clean. The solution: I wash in a mild soap and water and dry immediatly. After drying I coat my skillets with a spray on oil like "Pam". I never have rust spots and best of all, my skillets are always ready for their next use.

SAVING - YOU CAN DO IT!

Saving money is hard for many of you. You want to but you barely make ends meet now! Here is a quick tip to help you. When you cash your check take a few dollars out for savings before you leave the bank. Put it away! Not in your wallet! You will find you don't even miss it. Even a few dollars a week will begin to add up over time.

Another fun way to save is to have a "My" jar. For me it was a secret place that only I knew about. I would add a dollar or more every now and then and I'd have $20 or $30 before I knew it. When you have enough, open a savings account and don't touch it. Turn it into a game and savings can become fun!
