Also, they’re sharp and pointy and probably slice up your throat.

Even by those standards, she’s not a WASP. She came up middle-class and hardworking. She did her own cooking and sewing and worked hard for a living. How is that a privileged WASP?

I’ve cooked with cast iron my whole life, and my mother cooked with cast iron. We’ve tried a lot of different methods for cleaning/seasoning etc., but several years ago I learned the absolute best thing.

Reading was a Steel Town? This is surprising. I grew up in the Reading area and I never heard about steel. Steel was Allentown.

I was also surprised by this, and I grew up in Reading. Well, I had a Reading post office address; I actually grew up in the farm country around Reading. And it was always super cheap, but the poorest? Yeesh.
