Got me some new iron from a friend yesterday. Any clues to how old it is?Id also like to know what the correct lid looks like?
I think 1915 range. Looks like it is ground on the inside bottom? A few have I.D. books that can be a bit more accurate.
I was poking around today a bit and noticed a few different lid styles. One with the pyramid shape basting points like my lodge then I saw one that’s got two different serrated rings on the lid.
Hay Dave, when has it ever bothered you that someone might think your a bit nuts.? Right, you don't. Same for most all of us on this forum. We do just as we darn will want most of the time. I just feel sorry for you when you go to move. I hope you get a good size garage because you are going to need it. A two story barn works well for those storage needs. add a lean to for wood storage or some equipment.
Single story will be fine! I can see down the road that I'm not going to be climbing much! Even at my age now, I'm realizing the knees and back are not doing so good. I was "blessed" with arthritis as some of us are. I'll just build it "long" with plenty of room. I am going to be junking/giving away a lot of crap before I leave here. I'm "lightening" the load on a lot of things.
I wish I could lighten my load. There is way too much of me. I seldom go upstairs in my garage. But is is good to store most things up there. No rust, very little moisture.
I am REALLY enjoying the other one left here! (Thanks Midwinter) All these eggs, the pan is perfect! Enter egg meme here!
I've reached a point where it feels good to let things go. I've always had a hoarding tendency, and spent about ten or fifteen years going to yard sales, estate sales, and flea markets, buying cool stuff. It took over the basement. I sold some on eBay, some at the flea market and yard sales of my own, but it was a lot of work. Just as I was making inroads, I had to empty my mother's condo and vacation house in Maine. The furniture I sold, but her bric-a-brac is pretty valuable, so into the basement it went! So I'm back to divesting to make room. I really don't want to burden my survivors with having to dispose of my stuff. It sounds morbid, but there is a book: :Margareta Magnusson The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter 3.9 out of 5 stars (352)Reviews The way I feel about stuff now is, if I can find someone who can use something I can part with, that's the best possible outcome!
Man, I'd have eggs poached, scrambled, fried, sunny side, soft boiled, hard boiled, over easy, over hard, egg casserole, eggs and ham, eggs and scrapple, eggs and sausage, eggs and hot sauce, eggs with fried onions, eggs with chicken gizzards, eggs with cheeses, eggs with toast, eggs with spam, eggs with corned beef hash, eggs and steak, eggs over home fries, eggs and grits, eggs on creamed chip beef, eggs benedict, deep fried eggs, egg fo-yung, egg shake, egg pudding, egg drop soup, Jewish egg toast, and maybe a couple more eggs. Hmmmm, I'd have to break out my egg recipe book.
