Lunch: plain yogurt with frozen strawberries (I guess you lose weight
from feeling rotten after eating this?) and later, a peanut butter and
grape jelly sandwich at home
Dinner: two pork chops I fried in the cast iron fry pan, two little
baked potatoes (with cottage cheese) and applesauce.
The thing about the case iron skillet is you can not wash it with soap.
So, I scrapped out as much of the oil, chunks of pork that stuck to the
pan and the extra virgin olive oil I used to fry the pork chops. Then, I
filled the fry pan with boiling water and stirred it up, scrapping the
bottom of the fry pan. This looked like a weak soup before I poured the
liquid down the drain. I dried the pan, pour salt into it and scrubbed
the pan with the salt. Leftover grease on my supposedly clean pan turned
the salt a light brown. When I thought I'd gotten up as much residue as
I could, I poured the salt out (into the sink), rinsed the pan with cold
water, dried it well and rubbed the pan with fresh virgin olive oil.
After the coating, I removed as much of the olive oil as I could and
then left the pan on the stove. I'll wrap it in paper towels tomorrow
and put it back with the pans in the stove drawer.My father in law told me that any food he couldn't get off with
scrapping would get left on the pan. I guess this is what the cook books
mean when they say using the cast iron fry pan leaves great tastes behind?
