You have never seen a dishwasher?

Just get paper or plastic dishes and silverware so you can throw that shit out when you're done.

I've always said that we should bring back slavery, just don't be racist about it. Enslave people of all races equally.

I lost the handlebar grips on my road bike so lately I've been riding without any grips. Just hands on metal. Nice time I hit a decent bump I'm probably gonna end up being thrown overboard.

All this talk about bicycling and hand injuries due to lack of padding is making this thread smell of estrogen.

There's nothing like learning your value in the workplace by the type of equipment they provide you. My monitor conked went out and they brought me 22". Still not 27" worthy ...

I would call and complain, but the flip phone they gave me is hard to dial.

Not sure if I should post this in the STRUGGLE thread or VICTORY thread.

My work's email server is down for the day. Meaning I can't do shit for work.
Time to chill until everything comes crashing down on me when the server comes back up.

Justified counter-bullying. The council of the playfully aloof finds this escalation of force excusable under the internationally recognized rules of emotional engagement.

O wow I just assumed it was the the chick that told you that and not the other way around.

I really need some life experiences with women that don't suck so I'm not lead by such false assumptions.

I got a conference this week and I'm going to gain a ton of weight. I've already got 2-3 dinners scheduled every night with the exception of Thursday and most days I have 2 lunches. All of these are for partners/clients that don't know about each other so whenever they're like "Hey puppy! Let's have dinner!" I'm like "Sure!" My metabolism's good but not that good.

There is a lot to learn from the mud-fueled ’cross movement in the Pacific Northwest (our Belgium), New England (our France), Colorado (our Italy) or the free spirit of cyclists in California (our Spain).

"Eat brown tuna" sounds like some horrible sex fetish you'd read about in Vice.

I mean I still have a ton of hair but when I saw my reflection it was just me looking like a bald asshole. (Image removed from quote.)

It wasn't an iron cast pan in my case, it was a steel pan. I think cast iron is a bit easier. Maybe I'll buy a cast iron now or I'll try the oven method. That is if my flatmate will let me because right now all the rooms smell like the inside of a smoker

Quote from: Dufus on October 23, 2015, 03:28:20 AM

I've been using my cast iron pan for a while, only have one so it gets a fair amount of use. I'm not sure what a properly seasoned one is like, but so far it's pretty non-stick. I actually don't really care about the seasoning. The point is for it to not rust. It being non-stick is kinda secondary. At least from my experience. Cleaning and seasoning is pretty easy. If stuff gets stuck on the inside you just have to clean it before it fully cools down, I scrub as hard as I want tbh. Sometimes I use a bit of soap, sometimes I won't. But always with hot water. Depending on how dull the pan looks on the inside, I heat it up a bit on the stove then rub a bit of oil on the inside if it looks like it needs it (i.e. if it's dull and not shiny after having been cleaned).

To be honest, you've described my regimen perfectly. I don't get super hung up on it, and my re-seasoning efforts are usually "apply oil to clean, hot pan; continue heating for 15 minutes; wipe off excess oil." Works a treat so far.
