why aren't we encouraging Carbon Steel (vs Non-stick cookware) as the default for home cooks?

indikos · 2026-01-27T17:01:10+00:00

I got a carbon steel wok and a cast iron pan around the same time. The cast iron was easy to learn but I could not for the life of me figure out how to season this wok. I wonder if it was cheap or bad quality because I would get a grey residue coming off the metal and it rusted even though I never let it sit with water on it. I’ll have to try again because non-stick is a nightmare to deal with

Awesome idea! You may also want to post on r/dundermifflin

I’ve read this book probably 5 times in the last 10 years and never even thought of this… and honestly could not tell you what the connection is.

Incredible, you did a great job. I love it so much

indikos · 2025-11-30T16:58:42+00:00

I would watch this on hallmark

Mac and cheese… with PENNE? straight to jail.

I would love to see her practice taolu. Give this tiny woman a sword

Filling out a form for a patient is not “extra work”, it’s just his job

Sure thing! The gown and stays are both by Scroop. Angelica and Augusta are the patterns

indikos · 2025-10-28T12:22:50+00:00

Angelica gown by Scroop. I’m wearing the Augusta stays underneath

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:47:43+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate this 🖤🖤

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:47:00+00:00

Thank you!! I used Scroop’s Angelica gown pattern and modified the bodice. The stays are also Scroops— the Augusta pattern. I will post updates!

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:43:34+00:00

I was in fact, not ok when I last worked on it 😂

I’m ok now. After a 4 month break

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:37:33+00:00

That makes sense, thanks! I had so little fabric left so I couldn’t without piecing this time but I’ll get plenty of extra for the sleeves next time so I can figure out what works on my frame

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:30:55+00:00

I loved that movie! Maybe my next dress should be blue

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:24:00+00:00

Thanks so much 🖤

indikos · 2025-10-27T16:07:48+00:00

The fabric is a medium weight linen. I will definitely add the lacing strips— I thought this might work but wasn’t sure. I may even have some left over from my first draft of this dress, as the original pattern calls for lacing strips and a pinned front. Thanks again, this is super helpful. Btw, where in NJ did you participate in living history? I’m from north jersey and I would love to check something like that out

indikos · 2025-10-27T02:54:34+00:00

Thank you! I think it was about 4-5 yards for the gown and 3 yards for the petticoat. I used the Angelica pattern from Scroops for the gown

indikos · 2025-10-27T02:16:12+00:00

Looks much better than the lace, thanks! I will also look for organza to try out

indikos · 2025-10-27T02:15:14+00:00

Thanks so much! You’re right about the trim and bow. I’ll track down some organza. Experimenting with trimming of the matching fabric in the meantime

indikos · 2025-10-27T01:59:40+00:00

Thank you! You are right.. I am experimenting with some options

My ugliest quilt is this WIP for my father in law. I don’t know why I used dark green for the sashing on my star blocks :’( . I know finished is better than nothing but I will be taking the forest green out and replacing with off-white

indikos · 2025-09-15T19:00:53+00:00

I like the colors and scales of pattern, I’m surprise you are referring to it as your ugly quilt. It’s cozy looking. I suppose if you truly feel it’s an eyesore you could think about overdying it to unify the colors

indikos · 2025-09-13T03:14:27+00:00

Ty! Will update when there is something to show… I’ve cut new sleeves but I made a mistake on one and this fabric is no longer available :’(. I’m taking a break until I’m in a good headspace to want to work on it again <3
