I made a small pork roast.

Maybe pour it down the drain slowly as you run the faucet full open to dilute it.

I made a sirloin steak, a little pasta and Brussels sprouts.

I made a batch of Jam-Filled Christmas Cookies I overbaked them a little, so they're not so good. It's my first time making that cookie so this was a test run. I'll make it one more time before deciding if it's a worthy cookie.

I also made some burger buns.

I have a chain mail scrubber. It's good for general cleaning of the cast iron, I especially like it for my bbq grill grates which are enameled cast iron but it's not going to get built up crud off.

I've used the kosher salt method. I think that's the way to go if it's light surface rust. My way of thinking is, always try the simple easy ways before moving up the ladder.

Something I haven't tried on cast iron but have used on aluminum sheet pan, is a 3M fine grade sanding sponge, used wet. I think that would work on surface rust on cast iron too.

I made a French style loaf today using KAF French style flour. Came out pretty good.

What kind of chocolate things are you making, Mike? I found this candy maker on YouTube, it's a family run business. While it's not a "how to", they do talk a lot about the process, including tempering. I don't know why, but I find it all interesting, including the hard candies.

I made a turkey breast today. I'll be having that the next several days.

I made a hamburger and stuffed butternut. I took the seed part of the butternut, scooped out the seeds of course, chopped up an apple, drizzled it with walnut oil, added some chopped walnuts, maple sugar and cinnamon and then stuffed the squash. The burger was from frozen and I put the burger and the squash on a rack in a quarter sheet pan and roasted them both at 400 degrees. To my surprise, they were both done at the same time.

I made bread today, I divided the dough and made 4 burger buns and a small basket weave loaf.

While I don't know her, I feel bad for her and everyone else there. I'm glad to hear she's OK.

I made a pizza tonight.

There was a problem with Romaine earlier this year too. I have avoided it all year.

Thanks all! They came out pretty good but just a tad dry. The instructions said to bake for 25 to 30 minutes, I went with 30. Next time I'll shave 2 minutes off. But overall, I'm pretty happy with them.
