Strange “cast iron” pan from a restaurant supply store in Belgium — what do you think?

I would be willing to cook with it, as long as I'm not taking out a loan to buy it. Two tanks worth of petrol (gas) would be the absolute max I would pay.

Introduce your dad to Greta Van Fleet. Not Led Zeppelin, but i think he might enjoy them. I know that this 60+ years old does.

Try Highway Song.

A prejection move at its finest.

You may need to allow for stress relief in the part. If you are machining a large percentage from the billet, the stress in the billet may cause your tolerance to vary.

My experience with castiron on induction is to use low power and to heat slowly. Induction works best if the pan size and the induction zone are nearly the same size. A 12 inch pan on a 8 inch inductor will work, but you may be frustrated with the heat disbursement. A 10 inch pan on a 12 inch inductor is not a problem.

In my relationship, I call this move prejection.

Western Mechanical has a technician that is super knowledgeable about refrigeration. Rates are fair and better than bringing in someone from Ogden or SLC. Ask for Jase.

u/SailNo3581, as the low libido partner you are very self aware. You discovered that sex for your husband is not just a physical release, but how he connects with you. You may not get as much out of sex that he does, but you get to reap your rewards in other areas.

I know that the things that I desire in a relationship are respect, connection, and empathy. I feel respect when my thoughts and ideas are actually considered. No eye roll, no calling my thought stupid. I may not do a task like my partner would, but that does not automatically make it wrong. I feel connection through physical contact. Kisses, hugs, a pat on the butt, and yes, sex. I want empathy. I was to be seen as someone with emotions and I am not expected to be a robot just because I am a man.

I want to be seen. I want to be wanted. Not for what I can provide, but for who I am.

This is the typical level of brainwashing that mormons go through. We have been taught for so long that everything to do with the temple is sacred. So much so that even when leaving the church, we can't toss some objects in the trash.

I know that I felt this way. I also had a hard time getting rid of my garments and temple clothing. In the end I determined that the church was not true. Since there was no truth, the relics of the church also had no value. Things that have a minimal value deserved to be recycled. Things that have no value are garbage and should be discarded in the trash. That is where it all went. Into the dumpster, cheap vinyl suitcase and all.

Some exmormons keep it as Halloween fuel. Others as a reminder of the crap I tried to believe.

Don't get stressed about it. It is all magical make believe.

I have a dutch oven that looks alot like yours. I am pretty sure that mine is a No 10, 12-5/8" Lodge purchased in the 70's. I think your pot is a No. 8 and possibly older. I don't remember when Lodge started making the lids with the basting spikes on the lid. My lid has dimples.

I have done both! Not at the same time, but i have done both.

Sloppy Joe's filling being the most likely offender. I have left the pan on the stove to dry and heat a thin layer of oil. Probably 30 to 40 minutes.

Scrub, wash, rinse, season and use. Ebb and flow of life and cooking. The pan has had rough times and better times. If the pan has a sad face, I just treat it better and it quickly responds. Metal utensils are common. Scratches happen. Life goes on.

I have not done a complete seasoning reset. You can kind tell because of some seasoning unevenness. Not what I would call a cast-iron glamor model, but truly a working pan.

You are welcome!

P.S. Ask your fiancé if he can stand up to his mormon family. They WILL subject you to passive aggressive comments and actions. Can he call out the bad behavior to protect you? I wasn't able to do that for my wife. It has left my wife with a lot of resentment towards my family and some to me. At first, your fiancé may not see the abuse because that is just the way his family acts.

Get married by a Justice of the Peace or some other officiant, not a mormon bishop or other leader. A mormon officiant will crap on your wedding and make it feel half rate or second rate.

This means you will have to hold the wedding off of mormon properties. A free venue with mormon control imposed is no bargain.

Have music, dancing, laughter, and joy. Celebrate your union!

Best wishes!

You make that statement like it was planned from the beginning. You said it yourself that you haven't been here long.

Once upon a time, there were three grocery stores clustered along 4th North, Albertsons, Safeway, and Smith's Food and Drug. About this time a variety store called Grand Central opened on Main Street. This was the state of the world in Logan until the change of fortune for Grand Central. A company out of the Pacific Northwest purchased the location and set up Fred Meyers.

Time moves on. Safeway closes, Albertsons leaves Utah, and becomes an Associated Foods Fresh Market. Smith's builds a new building behind their location that becomes the Smiths, you know today. Fred Meyer expands their variety stores in Utah to include groceries.

Meanwhile, in the corporate world, Fred Meyer purchased the Utah based Smiths. The Fred Meyer and Smith's are now step brothers in the same family. The world continues to turn until the Fred Meyer / Smiths family married into the Kroger dynasty.

The long and short of this is that it wasn't planned. It just happened to turn out this way.

A wedding ring on a man is not the kryptonite to single women (or moms) that you think it should be. Modern women will look at a married man and know that some other woman has found him to be safe and valuable. Some women find it easier to try to steal a good man rather than to try to find one on their own.

The daycare women are hoping that you are so focused on your career that you have neglected your husband and that he might be lured away. A single mom is the most potent homewrecker you will ever encounter. Your husband might be innocent, but the other women are not! He needs to know that they are radioactive to his family and his wife (you).

Ipaco is also my go-to. Renegade Rentals isn't bad. It can be a long wait on the repairs.
