Last weekend, I finally bought some cookware. It’s the first time I’ve owned real cookware. While house-sitting, I used my friend’s stainless steel to make Annie’s Pasta. What a pleasure it was to cook with real equipment. It set my mind a-dreaming. How nice it would be to have a fry pan and a pan for pasta/popcorn.
Previously, I only had a small set of camping cookware. My friends can testify to this, especially Paul, who had a rough time trying to cook at my place in Missoula during spring break. Well, now I’ve bought some stainless steel. I feel like I’ve finally arrived!
The past couple of days have been rough, though. My first use of the stainless pans was a disaster. Everything stuck so badly that the meals were ruined. I even retrieved my old pan, a cheap Big Lots find, from the trash. I knew to use lower heat, but things still stuck.
However, this morning I think I’ve mastered the new stuff. I used very low heat and fried up some breakfast. Ah! The clean taste of food cooked in olive oil on a non-Teflon surface.
Today, I’m off to see the doctor and afterward, I’ll take my cross bike out for a couple of hours into the Bitterroots. I might even snap some pictures. It hurts the pocketbook to take time off work, but I need to see the doc… and he’s in Victor. It’s only natural to take the rest of the day to play, right?
