cast iron find at The Christmas Tree Shop

Last weekend, while looking for ‘stuff’ for the Sunspot, I found this folding 24cm cast iron grill pan at The Christmas Tree Shop for $4. It’s got a removeable bamboo and steel handle, and a low rim–perfect for a small serving of bacon or a quick quesadilla or burger. I seasoned it this weekend and made its first ‘meal’ — splurged on some of the good organic pepper bacon from the farmer’s market. This morning, I made a pork steak and grilled fennel. It’s a very cool little grill pan, perfect for camping!

A teardrop camper for me!

I’ve finally found the teardrop camper that I want, and now all I need is the time to actually go to Ohio to get it!

It’s a Yoder Toter…double doors, finely crafted Amish woodworking, aluminum exterior with painted fenders. I don’t know how much it will cost, but the teardrop fund is flush, and I’m ready. I’m worth it.
