cast iron skillets and NASA foam

I took the plunge and bought a cast iron skillet. pre-seasoned, ready to go.
I spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen store, looking at sauce pans, comparing sizes, depths, and handle-action in the hopes of purchasing something that could go into the oven.
The sauce pans were all beautiful. I particularly liked the one with the silicone handle. Silicone is apparently all the rage these days in cooking implements. Silicone wisks, silicone brushes, silicone handles. Apparently it's a good material for more than just titties.
Does silicone even have an "e" on the end?
I don't know.

I also recently purchased a new bed. A knock-off tempurpedic or whatever type foam bed, and I have to admit that although I was very skeptical, I have had better nights of sleep in the past few days than I have in the past year or so.

today was beautiful weather in NYC, i actually went for a job, took my gimpy coffee table down to the wood shop to get the legs fixed, enjoyed the good-natured posturing of everyone needing to examine the table and give their two cents.
I don't know that my ignorance on woodworking has been at all alleviated, but it was fun to be down there.

so thanks Blogger, this is pretty easy, i guess I just hit the "Publish Post" key and I'm all done. Hoping to get some access to my softball blog, titled either "B61 Softball" or "redhooksoftball" not sure, but the season starts this week, and Jonathan runs the blog, and I have pictures to post!

ok happiness for the first post, hopefully there will be more someday. i am going to go eat dinner now

cheers,
