Heavy Metal

Up very early this morning, I turned to a Guitar Center sponsored channel, trying to get back to learning acoustic guitar, and happened upon a heavy metal band.

When I think of heavy metal, I dream of the pots and pans Julia Child amassed in Paris in the 1940’a. I can not find them now, but certainly if I could no-one would be able to re-line them as needed.

I believe there is a place in this world for non-stick cookery, but that some critical work must be done with the good stuff. A saucier, perhaps? Not that I’d use one as I don’t really do dessert or butter sauces. But I was taught to clean copper with lemon juice and salt and why let that knowledge go to waste?

When I have the money and space to store good, vintage copper pans I’ll do so. In the meantime I make good food with quality pots and pans. When I get my vacation home in Tuscany, I’ll hang the good stuff. I hear that GEICO pigs are flying these days so can’t use that euphemism. Happy weekend! Dee
