I fell out of bed at 4:30, not happened in 60 years, was running to school because I was late, stopped to light a cigar and fell off a cliff, between that and falling over with the groceries the night before has me sore. Not doing much today, wife has sty in eye and called off work. Was going to run the kid to school, must have got the Jeep car thing over the snow plow hump. Made sourdough whole wheat yesterday in my new pan/stovetop DO. Ordered it off A zon, popped up in a ad for cheap, wanted to see if a preseason China pot that was not polished was as bad as all the Flat Earthers and No Soapers say. Nope, washed it and gave it a spray of Olive juice and the bread dropped out, second loaf so another myth busted. Learned yesterday that soaking cast iron in vinegar to remove rust for more than 30 minutes will soften it. LOL, damn fool yuppies and their myths.
BTW really don't feel bad about the oven, USA made Lodge costs twice as much and uses pig iron bought from China and they company has several other sins. Oh and they enamel coated stuff is straight China. And a true American made one was about 5 times as much aka old one someone restored or says they did.
