Co-sign! And they’re maybe 10 bucks or so, but well worth the small, initial investment. I’d say that foil is a good option for when you don’t have a chainmail scrubber around, but once you get one it’s pretty much the best way to do things.

I should add, that, excepting perhaps bacon grease, I usually rinse my cast iron out while it is still hot, before I even eat whatever I’ve prepared in it. Heated oil rinses right out and the hot pan dries by itself, avoiding rust. Later, I use the chainmail and a little water to scrape out crusty remains. So, I’m not…

My hack is to keep one dirty drinking glass beside the sink with a little water and soap in it, then I drop cutlery and things like the chainmail in it. Everything rinses squeaky clean when I’m ready to do dishes. I can even pour the soapy water in a bowl and use further if I’m feeling super-duper economical.

OooOoooh you got a link?

Totally agree! It’s quick, easy, and is match for even the toughest of burnt-on grime. Was definitely worth purchasing.

I meant to not reply.

I’ve tried scrubbing grills and my many cast-iron pans with multiple methods and never been so happy as when I bought a chainmail scrubber. It is the fastest, easiest, most effective, and least wasteful method.

Stuart Smalley advice, perhaps useful for those crippled by negativity.

Been a bit since the article, i know, but Jucy has few US locations... SF, LA, and vegas, and campervans are their thing.

I know no one wants to do it, but I think adults who have kids need to be sat down and given ‘the talk’. Um, ‘the math talk.’

“Show, don’t tell” whenever possible.

Interesting to know. I’ll add writing a work email to the list of potentially fitting situations. Seems situational, though, whether the email is written to roll uphill or down.

My work email client adds squiggles to indicate where I’ve used the passive voice, and I’m like, “This is work email.  I’m not just using the passive voice, I’m using the passive-aggressive voice.”  I would be immediately reprimanded if I tried to write work emails with the active voice. 

As a fiction writer, I follow two rules:

I thought it might be one of the Milli Vanilli guys, too, but I don’t believe anyone remembers who they are or what their names were. Hell, I don’t even remember, and I actually bought their CD.

Oops.  Forgot one of them was gone.  So, whichever one, Milli or Vanilli, Fabrice Morvan was.  That’s what I meant.

Monster: Lots are guessing T-Pain (and probably right).

She’s literally literally the poster child for believing dumb things. How hard could it be to fool her?

So, who we got left?

When I first heard about it, I thought “what a stupid idea for a show”. But then I got bronchitis and a sinus infection, and needed to stay home from work for almost an entire week.  I was running out of things to watch that didn’t require brain cells, so I decided to give this a try.  I am hooked!
