Ghana announces starting XI to face USA in World Cup clash
With a few hours to spare until the highly anticipated World Cup clash between USA and Ghana, Black Stars manager Kwesi Appiah has unveiled the team's starting XI via the nation's official FA website.
There will be six players making their World Cup debuts for the Ghanaian side, including Jordan Ayew, who will be pairing up front with team captain Asamoah Gyan. It was Gyan's goal that eliminated the USA from the 2010 World Cup in the round of 16. Ayew had a hat trick in Ghana's final pre-World Cup friendly, scoring three times against South Korea in Miami.
The lineup omits veterans Kevin-Prince Boateng and Michael Essien. Abdul Majeed Waris is also not included, with the young, athletic attacking star still recovering from an injury suffered against South Korea.
The U.S. has fallen to Ghana in each of the last two World Cups, but even though revenge would be an obvious motivation, U.S. players are downplaying that angle, according to SI's Brian Straus.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - Two Bonita Springs mothers are arrested, on the same night, within hours of each other. Both are accused of allowing teens to drink inside their homes. When deputies came to break up the parties, the moms also shared the same excuse.
"All I can say is it got out of hand," 47 year old Stacy Desalvo told WINK Monday night. She said she knew her daughter had a few friends over, but, "Later on, we had a whole porch full."
Deputies arrived at Ankeny Lane after getting a call about a loud party, and found 16 juveniles, empty liquor bottles and beer cans. They also found Desalvo, drinking a beer. According to the arrest report, she told deputies it was her daughter's idea, that "it was homecoming weekend and that's what you do,"and that "I can not control her."
When we asked if she condoned underage drinking, Desalvo said, "No, no I don't." And when we asked if this was the first time this type of thing happened," Desalvo said, "Yes, it is the first time, and the last time."
That same morning, deputies were called to Quails Walk Drive to find 15 juveniles drinking. Deputies said, 46 year old Lisa Jandura, also intoxicated, told them she "couldn't stop them" and "told them to go home." Jandura was arrested, charged not only for the party, but also resisting arrest. She told deputies "it was a stupid house party" and they were "stupid for arresting her."
Lt. Larry King of the Lee County Sheriff's Office disagrees. "We're all adults here," King said. "We know what our responsibility is and when you're also having the responsibility of other children, we had up to 15, 16 juveniles in these homes in a social gathering, we have to be responsible for those individuals."
Collier County deputies broke up yet another underage drinking party that same morning in Golden Gate Estates. Half a dozen were arrested, 3 for hosting the party. Hosting an open house party is no minor charge. If found guilty, you could spend up to 2 months in jail.

Successful and reviled Massey CEO retires in weeks
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Massey Energy Co. Chief Executive Don Blankenship, the modern-day coal baron who made millions for investors while turning countless neighbors into bitter enemies over environmental destruction, will wrap up his reign as the king of Central Appalachia's coalfields at year's end.
Virginia-based Massey announced late Friday that Blankenship - respected and reviled in equal measure - will retire as chairman and CEO Dec. 31. That will end a 30-year career highlighted by huge profits, violent labor battles, feuds with federal regulators and a 2010 mine explosion that ranks as the nation's worst coal mining disaster since 1970.
A 60-year-old millionaire who rose from obscure beginnings, Blankenship oversaw an ongoing plan to expand the production of Appalachian coal for growing Asian markets, but leaves behind a company badly shaken by the April 5 blast that killed 29 men at the Upper Big Branch mine.
Current president Baxter F. Phillips Jr. is Massey's new CEO. Retired Adm. Bobby Inman, a board director, was named nonexecutive chairman.
"After almost three decades at Massey it is time for me to move on," Blankenship said in a prepared statement. "Baxter and I have worked together for 28 years, and he will provide the company great executive leadership."
Blankenship did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday night.
His abrupt retirement sent ripples throughout Appalachia, stunning even those who might have seen it coming.
"I don't think it's any of my business whether it's good or bad," said Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association. "I've just observed that Don's been quite a leader over the years."
He called Blankenship one of the industry's "most aggressive, intelligent and certainly one of the most outspoken leaders."
But environmental activist Larry Gibson, who has long battled Massey and the practice of mountaintop removal coal mining, said there was one thing Blankenship did best - to his own disadvantage: "He was very successful in bringing the worst publicity to the industry."
"And any industry worth its salt doesn't want somebody like that around."
Blankenship, who has been chairman and CEO since 2000, leaves at a time when Massey's safety practices are under scrutiny by state and federal regulators. Its practices are also the subject of a criminal investigation.
His departure also comes as Massey's board is reviewing its strategic options: In recent weeks there have been reports that Massey is a possible takeover target for rivals such as Alpha Natural Resources and global steel conglomerate ArcelorMittal SA.
Massey is the nation's fourth-largest coal producer by revenue. It operates 19 mining complexes in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Massey said it lost money in the third quarter of this year because of tougher federal regulations after the Upper Big Branch mine explosion.
Though he had long blamed a sudden surge of methane for the blast, Blankenship last month suggested an inundation of natural gas might be to blame. He also blames the federal Mine Health and Safety Administration for making things worse, complaining it wrongly forced Massey to change a ventilation plan for the mine.

Favorite thing to cook in a cast iron skillet
Thinking of getting one and wondering what's your favorite dish to cook in it? I know people who swear by it to fry stuff (latkes, chicken) but what else can it do?
You can bake a cobbler in it, make wicked good cornbread, and it's great for blackening meat, especially fish. Also, if you're female and/or vegetarian, it's a great way to add some much-needed iron into the food you cook. Plus it's good for your cookin' muscles. :D
The only thing I even keep my cast-iron skillet for is German Apple Pancake. You melt brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together, lightly saute a bunch of sliced apples in this, then pour over a batter you have hastily whomped up in the Cuisinart and let whole thing bake for half an hour. It puffs up and gets brown and every wedge is topped with caramely apples. Illustrates Doctrine of Nonsummativity, whole equals more than sum of parts, as never have three eggs, a cup of flour, some sugar, a cup of milk, and a few apples had more to say for themselves.
I use cast iron for so many cooking activities that it's difficult to select one that qualifies as a "favorite". But I truly enjoy making Peter Reinhart's cornbread (http://leitesculinaria.com/7175/recip...) in my preheated cast iron skillet. Crispy outer crust, tender crumb; a holiday favorite around my house.
re: c oliver
"Place 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat into a 10-inch round cake pan (you can also use a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or a 12-inch square pan). "
Just tonight I used mine to make chicken fried steak with pan gravy. Cooked the meat, removed from the pan, added a T of flour to to a T of pan drippings, roux-d it, added a cup of milk, had gravy in a few minutes.
Cast iron heats so evenly and retains so much heat that nothing is better for searing.
And it's ideal for all those chicken dishes that call for browning on the stovetop first, then adding sauce ingredients and finishing in the oven.
re: eclecticsynergy
Bacon is #1 & will not fry fish in anything but cast iron; hash, sausage, pork chops, fried potatoes, cornbread, skillet cake - have a Griswold griddle for pancakes, grilled cheese, rubens, & French toast. Still fry eggs in iron but the All Clad coated pan is best now days.
Freshly caught and fileted panfish alongside some diced potatoes and onions, sizzling in butter, cooked lakeside over an open fire, of course!
I have the supersized Lodge skillet. I like to cook things in it that might otherwise be cooked in a wok, e.g., pad thai and stir fries. It's perfect for that. It gets and stays very hot, and you never need to take stuff out to put other stuff in, since it's so big. I need a smaller cast iron skillet for dishes involving deglazing. I'd like to use skillets more in my cooking since I get a good feel from them (perhaps because they don't change temperature depending on what's in them) and, in a weird way, they're easy to clean (just rinse with boiling water and scrape off stuff). And also because you want things to stick sometimes.
re: sushigirlie
Some CH mentioned that s/he always uses a CI skillet instead of a wok. Thought that was brilliant.
re: c oliver
I threw away my wok. I have electric burners and the wok just didn't get hot enough because its round bottom made such small contact with the flat burner.
re: c oliver
ATK proved that a CI skillet is superior to a wok on American ranges.
Cornbread, first and foremost. I also use my large skillet as a baking stone for other breads, and as a cinnamon roll pan.
They are great for roasting meats - sear off the outsides, then pop the whole thing in the oven.
And also eggs and pancakes. I make bubble and squeak with fried eggs last night and my bubble had a beautiful crispy outside and my eggs glided right off the pan.
The longer you have a cast iron skillet, the more things you will find to make in them. I inherited four, and they have become my first choice for almost everything. Most recently, I made veal chops in one (sear on the stovetop, finish in the oven) and a sort of non-cheese scalloped potatoes in the other. Then when I went to make biscotti, I toasted my almonds in one in the oven. I have also roasted a chicken in one, surrounding it with potatoes, onions, carrots. I love being able to go from the stovetop to the oven with them, and they hold heat incredibly well. I can't imagine what I did before I got them. Definitely my favorite kitchen item at the moment.
Hands down, cornbread. You cannot make good cornbread without an iron skillet. Once again, JMNSVHO.
re: alkapal
Second the Johnny cake...alkapal...my is a Bermudian version...it is a bit different than i have seen some people make.
Also I have a cast iron muffin tin i make yorkshire pudding with
There are so many things you can do with a cast iron skillet or cast iron anything...love my cast iron dutch oven :)
Pretty much all of the above, although I prefer a nonstick resto supply for omelets and crepes for the sloping sides and handle angle.
One of my most prized family heirlooms is a 12 inch 80 year old skillet that has fed me body and soul; my grandmother got as a bride and gave it to me when I got married.
I use my giant cast iron skillet more for its size than anything as it's got tall sides. Having said that, I use it for stroganoff. Firstly, because because it's great for browning the beef and getting all the goodies on the bottom, then its solid, thick bottom is good for simmering on low for hours without scorching.
Bacon ~~ Biscuits ~~ Catfish (if I'm pan frying) ~~ Hamburgers (if it's pouring rain) ~~ Obviously "Kone Braid" and "Chied Fricken" ~~ Oh my...there are so many things...I think ya better buy two!!!
Have Fun!
Have to agree with other posters. I got a new skillet once and had trouble getting a good season on it (this was before pre-seasoned). But I took some advice and picked one up at a flea market for very little $. Good scour (for rust) and re-season and it's like glass.
I add my vote to the others for cornbread. I preheat the skillet in the oven at 400 degrees, then add the fat (usually butter) just before the batter goes in. This way the skillet is hot, but the butter doesn't burn.
I also like to do bacon (and save the grease), pork chops, it can't be beat for a crispy hash brown or shredded potato, hmm. I may take others up on other ideas here too....
Not mine, yet, but my mother-in-law always does her pineapple upside down cake in her skillet. I'll have to try that next.
re: walker
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
A Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is a layered cake that is baked in a cast
iron skillet. After baking it is turned out (right-side up) onto a plate.
The layers consist of a yellow cake made with some pineapple juice, topped
with brown sugar and butter and pineapple rings with maraschino cherries.
1/2- cup butter (1-cube, 1/4-lb)
1-1/2 cup brown sugar
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple rings - reserve liquid
7 to 10 maraschino cherries - without stems
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1-1/3 cup water / pineapple juice from above can
1/3 cup cooking oil
Preheat oven to 350 F. In an 11-inch cast iron skillet on the stove-top,
over medium high heat, melt 1/4-pound of butter. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle 1-1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly to cover melted butter. If
needed, even out layer of brown sugar with a fork. Arrange pineapple
rings around the bottom of the skillet, on top of the brown sugar, one
layer deep. You will probably end up with six pineapple rings around the
edge of the skillet and one in the middle. Reserve pineapple juice from
Place a maraschino cherry in the center hole of each pineapple ring. In a
2- cup measuring cup , mix pineapple juice from can with enough cold water
to make 1-1/3- cup of liquid. In a large mixing bowl, mix at low speed
until moistened, 1 (18.25-oz) box of yellow cake mix, 3 eggs, 1-1/3 cup of
water/pineapple juice and 1/3- cup of cooking oil. When cake mix
ingredients are moistened, mix on medium speed for 2- minutes. Pour the
yellow cake mix batter over the pineapple/cherry layer in skillet. Place
skillet in oven, on center rack, and bake for 45-55-minutes or until a
cake tester inserted in the center of cake comes out clean. Remove from
oven, place a plate over skillet and carefully turn cake out onto the
plate immediately. If you wait until later to turn out cake, the brown
sugar layer will stick in the skillet.
This recipe calls for fresh pineapple and I've had no wet issues. (after slicing blot with paper towel and place over topping in pan). For topping
1/2 medium pineapple, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cored
3/4 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
For batter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons dark rum for sprinkling over cake
Special equipment: a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make topping:
Cut pineapple crosswise into 3/8-inch-thick pieces. Melt butter in skillet. Add brown sugar and simmer over moderate heat, stirring, 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Arrange pineapple on top of sugar mixture in concentric circles, overlapping pieces slightly. Make batter:
Sift together flour, cardamom, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, then gradually beat in granulated sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and rum. Add half of flour mixture and beat on low speed just until blended. Beat in pineapple juice, then add remaining flour mixture, beating just until blended. (Batter may appear slightly curdled.) Spoon batter over pineapple topping and spread evenly. Bake cake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cake stand in skillet 5 minutes. Invert a plate over skillet and invert cake onto plate (keeping plate and skillet firmly pressed together). Replace any pineapple stuck to bottom of skillet. Sprinkle rum over cake and cool on plate on a rack. Serve cake just warm or at room temperature. Cooks' notes:
• Some of the food editors found 3 teaspoons of cardamom to be too much, but others loved the intense flavor.
• Cake may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
re: Joebob
Thank you.
Is there a brand of Yellow cake mix you prefer? The second one with rum sounds good...I'd still like to use the M. cherries since it makes the cake look so pretty.
re: walker
Duncan Hines preferred. I agree about the cherries: traditional.
re: Joebob
I made an upside down cake in a cast iron skillet this
past summer and it was a hit. There are a tonne of
dutch oven recipes on the net for cakes and such
and easy to find. Joebob has it covered. I used a
Betty Crocker yellow cake mix
Here is a link with pictures of how mine came out.
re: walker
Funny. My MIL made a pineapple upside down cake at Thanksgiving. (Of course, that's what you need with several pies, pudding and other cakes on the table!)
I asked her for her recipe because I know it's my FIL's favorite and figured she'd have perfected it. (Plus, even after 20 years, brownie points with the MIL are critical.)
She hedged a bit. The next time we saw her, she gave me a box of Duncan Hines Pineapple Supreme cake mix and told me to follow the recipe on the side of the box! She just uses her skillet instead of a cake pan.
I'm still going to look for a homemade version. I'll post back if I get to try one.
It's great for broiling fish. Position the skillet on the oven rack so the top of the pan is ~8" below the broiler flame. Preheat the pan in under the broiler for ~10 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and put in a piece of salmon, skin-side down (the fish should sizzle right away). Put it back under the broiler for ~10 min (depending on the thickness of the fish). If you want to add a glaze, brush it onto the almost-cooked fish and then return the pan to the broiler for 2-3 minutes.
I love cooking fish fillets like this - they cook really fast, since the bottom of the pan is so hot. It's easy to remove the fish from the skin b/c the skin sticks a bit to the bottom of the skillet; the fish slides right off.
We're heading out of town as I type this, doing two back to back home exchanges over Chirstmas and New Year's. In addition to the smaller items I normally carry with me, I have my big CI skillet. I was emailing with a Chow-buddy who's leaving the country for a couple of months and she's carrying one with her also.
DH and I swear by our cast iron pans ... we started off with a small Lodge pan a year and a half ago and just recently bought a larger one. We both don't know how we cooked before the CI pans!
This past weekend, DH made an AWESOME meatloaf in the smaller CI pan ...but he used the pan to brown the onions first and then dumped the whole meatloaf mixture into the pan and slid the whole thing into the oven. I did not grow up eating meatlof but it was the best one I've tasted in my adult life!
re: magiesmom
I read that cooking bacon (you deliberately listed it twice, right?) is a great way to continue seasoning CI.
re: c oliver
you give me too much credit! But yes, it is a great reseasoner. Though I have to say that since my iron skillets are over 30 years old they are seasoned enough , as long as they never see soap.
re: magiesmom
We may be going in that direction with chicken at my home..., I fear! I love roasting chicken and it's easy, but we recently tried Mark Bittman's recipe for roast chicken on a skillet and it was perfect in 45 minutes?! Now I can't get my husband to roast a chicken any other way...
re: eight_inch_pestle
Some will say sweet cornbreads are not cornbread at all.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I'll agree with that.
re: Chemicalkinetics
And they would not know what they're talking about.
re: eight_inch_pestle
Looks like I'm the only one that uses it for Irish soda bread. Mom mom's pan, and her receipe. Pan is approx sixty years old, and that's all it is used for. Superb soda bread!
re: chefdaddyo
Not the only one - forgot about that goodie :-)
re: chefdaddyo
I make Irish Soda bread also in a skillet. Yum. And though i am from the north I dislike sugar in cornbread.
re: eight_inch_pestle
I don't know. :)
Considered cornbread is a very important to Southern (or Southwestern) cuisine, you think Southers should have a bigger say on this. If I am correct, the sweet cornbread is called Yankee Cornbread in the South. In other words, sweet cornbread is not considered as the real cornbread.
So the big question: Are you a Yankee?
re: Chemicalkinetics
Here's the current thread on this subject :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
"So the big question: Are you a Yankee?"
Your question perfectly problematizes this whole discourse, which on "foodie" sites like chowhound rarely pauses to acknowledge the existence of soul food.
Like many African-Americans, much of my family moved north (from Mississippi) between the 1940s and 1960s. Cornbread has been a vital part of the cuisine they brought to (and modified in) Chicago, certainly as important as it is to the Southern cuisine to which you refer. It is dipped in collard green liquor, used to mop up brothy black-eyed peas, forked up with chitlins, eaten out-of-hand as a snack or for breakfast (with or without butter), sliced in half and filled with ham, even fried. It is a staple bread, baked in hot fat (altho often butter instead of bacon drippings or lard) in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. And it is almost universally sweet.
Yes, I understand that a certain strain of southerner refuses to acknowledge sweet cornbread as "real" cornbread. They are wrong. It's just not *their* cornbread.
I s'pose any further discussion should probably be moved to the thread linked to below---err, above...
I love cast iron skillets and use them for just about everything from omelets to pancakes to sauteing greens, to pineapple upside down cake, etc. In fact, I do not even bother using anything else. They can do just about whatever a regular aluminum or stainless steel pan can. However, I think my favorite thing to make in a cast iron skillet would have to be southern style cornbread. The skillet must be preheated, the corn meal must be stone ground and there should be absolutely no flour or sugar added. The best cast iron skillets, in my opinion, are a brand called Lodge. They are made in a little town in Southeastern Tennessee called South Pittsburg. They are available at lots of different stores, available in a variety of sizes, are pretty inexpensive and come already pre-seasoned. I am probably a little biased since my great great grandparents are buried in South Pittsburg, but the folks at Cook's Illustrated Magazine even recommend them compared to a bunch of others so that seems like a pretty good recommendation in my book. In terms of caring for them, it is not really too difficult. Just don't over scrub them as you do not want to scrape off any good seasoning built up. After you wash it, put it back on the stove to heat up just enough to dry it out. Then use a paper towel to put a very thin coating of oil all over the inside.
re: Khotso98
My pans are all Wagner and easily 50 years old
Cornbread yet again. I do a lot in my skillet and love it. I love to cook filets in it - part on the stovetop and then finishing in a very hot oven. But cornbread ROCKS. I grew up in the south and we ate cornbread all the time. The best cornbread I have ever had/made, though, is from Suzanne Goin. Try this in your skillet, it is incredible. Sweet and rich and oh so good:
Loaded home fries.
Chop up some bacon into bite size pieces, cook until crispy and remove to a paper towel lined plate. Sweat some onions and a minced jalapeño (I take out the ribs and seeds), then dump in cubed potatoes. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Once the potatoes are tender inside and crispy outside, add in the bacon, sprinkle with some shredded cheddar. I like these with scrambled eggs, and sometimes I just add the eggs right into the same pan like a frittata.
re: LoBrauHouseFrau
ok... yum.
All this talk about how well cast iron browns...I got out my never used, new, preseasoned Lodge dutch oven to brown chuck cubes for chili. I like the way it browned the meat but I had to transfer everything to another pot later because I've read you cannot use tomatoes in cast iron. What happens?
On the cooking show, Alex's Day Off, she charred fresh tomatoes in cast iron for a roasted tomato soup.
re: walker
Tomatoes are acidic, so it makes the iron leaches out from the cast iron cookware. Nothing toxic or anything. Some people find the metalic taste offensive, while others (like me) don't care. It really is up to you. I would suggest you try it once and see for yourself.
re: Chemicalkinetics
It doesnt bother me either. Plus you actually get absorption of iron which a lot of women can use.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I used my new Lodge skillet to roast an acid-based dish (tomatoes and wine) and large black peels came off the surface of pan -- I assume it was the factory seasoning.
We scrubbed the pan well to remove the flakes and re-seasoned the pan, but I won't be using it for high-acid dishes again until it's got a better season on it -- anyway, that was my experience.
re: cfretty
Thanks both c oliver and cfretty. For some reasons, I missed both of your messages. Yes, I have also noticed that the Lodge original preseason can come off pretty easily, but interestingly I have not had that happen to me when I apply my own seasoning surface.
For my own seasoning surface, the layer can get "thinner" (wear off slowly) when I cook a lot of watery and acidic food, but it does not peel off like paint on a wall. Thanks.
More appropriate question--what else CAN'T it do?? Cast iron is literally the only skillet I own--I had a non-stick but it wore out and I threw it out a year or so ago and I've not felt the loss since. A properly seasoned cast iron skillet can do anything--scrambled, fried or poached eggs, steaks, burgers, bacon, red beans and rice, jambalaya, frittatas (sp), (spanish) tortillas, quiche and omelets. I cook cornbread in it, make fried potatoes, toasted nuts for breads and muffins, caramelized onions--again, I've been cooking fairly intensely for about 5 years now and I've never found anything that doesn't work as well or better in cast iron. Larger items such as roasts, beef stews, pots of mussels, soups and stocks I use a dutch oven rather than a skillet but it's still cast iron. Go for it and buy one (even two)! They're dirt cheap, nearly impossible to ruin provided you dry them thoroughly and wipe them down with oil after each use, and as has been mentioned in this thread, the longer you own one and the better the seasoning on it gets the more things you'll find to use it for.
Bacon, Blackened fish, and Cornbread. If your asking for a favorite(s). I have a dutch oven ,and nine skilletts. They get tons of use with everthing i cook. Top of stove, in oven, and on the grill. I work out of town quite frequently , 2 skillets and a coleman stove.and a small gas grill , Are always in tow. I also have a c.1930 Silverseal cast aluminum pot very simular to a dutch oven about 10 inches in dia. that gets a lot of use. .
Has anyone come accross one of these?
Most things. In fact, mine are my go-to pans so often, even over my gorgeous All-Clad. Not always, but often. But as most say my favourite would be cornbread. And upside down cakes, especially pineapple, of course, but pear is my other favourite. Meats do so well, too, and I often roast in them - I hate those high-side roasters.
Big pots of chili as well.
re: waitress
That sounds delicious. Mind sharing a recipe?
re: mdzehnder
I just saw this, so sorry, so late- almost a year, jeez.. anyway.... contact me, I can give you my recipe.
I am in the minority of folks that have little use for a cast iron skillet.
Steak is at the top of the dilemma. My brother and fellow CH swears by steak seared in an IC skillet and then transferred to the oven. Me? I get better results under my high powered broiler or on the grill.
Fried Chicken? I use my aluminum vintage wagnerware dutch oven (and I have yet to discover the need for a staub or a le cruset dutch oven).
I know there is value there, I just seem to use alternate techniques more often. I do have a cast iron sukiyaki pan/pot that gets some use though.
I cook just about everything in my lodge skillet. I never tailgate without it.
Most common: bacon, hashbrowns, french toast, grilled cheese, steak, burgers. Pan roasted potatoes are dynamite as well. I made Michael Symon's duck fat roasted potatoes a few weeks back and they were incredible.
I still use a non-stick sauce pan for scrambled eggs, unless I already have sausage fried in the cast, then everything goes in there.
Broccoli is divine in an iron skillet! Heat a little olive oil, add thin slices of garlic. Let that sizzle. Slice the broccoli lengthwise and place in the skillet. Smash (yes smash) it with a spatula. When it turns bright green, flip, and smash a again. I like to let the broccoli just begin to brown. Serve hot with soy sauce.
The BEST and only bread I ever made was using my cast iron skillet and it's cover. The recipe is in Jim Lahey's "My Bread" book. It's a no-knead recipe and it suggested to use a cast iron Dutch oven. Well, I improvised and used my #9 Griswold skillet and cover. What a success!!!!
Broccoli!! Just slice up the whole head and mince some garlic clove. Put a little olive oil in the skillet and get it hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Throw in the garlic and press the broccoli slices into the garlic and olive oil. It's done when both sides have browned a little. Yummy.
re: janet2012
+1 on the steak. I just trim a little fat from the edge of the steak and melt it in place of butter. But butter is great, too. However, NOTHING beats a good well-seasoned cast iron skillet for grilling up some nice thick BACON, so I am also in agreement with JoeyJoeJoe1 below.
re: Tripeler
+2 on steak. Even though I already mentioned it in this thread, I made steak last night in the cast skillet...just awesome. I start with peanut oil, get it screaming hot, S&P on the steak and let it go for about 4 minutes, flip, throw in a nice hunk of butter along with a few garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs. Baste with that goodness while cooking for another 3 minutes. The result is medium rare, full flavored awesomeness.
re: janet2012
Completely disagree that grilling doesn't give the best flavor. If it doesn't, you're not doing it right. Of course I mean grilling outside, over a wood fire. Not a grill pan.
CI skillet: garlic chicken. Simply chicken, 15-20 cloves of garlic (d'oh) and butter. Shove in the oven at 350 ish until brown, crispy bits on the bottom, and gorgeous roasted garlic bits.
CI dutch oven: 2 favorites--sourdough bread and biryani (well, not in the same pot).
Indoor Smores
10 inch CI skillet
2 c chocolate chips
2 c mini marshmallows
1 box graham crackers
Preheat oven 375, make sure the rack is in the middle slot. Layer the chocolate chips in the skillet, then top with the marshmallows. Bake for approx 20 minutes or until marshmallows are browned. Remove and cool for several minutes. Use the graham crackers for dipping.
re: The Professor
We do still grill steaks, but we cast iron them almost as often.
Iron skillets are GREAT for smashburgers. We make smashsausage in cast iron, too.
Strip loin steak in ghee.
Heston's method:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhOV8... not using cast iron but I do.
Everything. We have two CI skillets that live on the stove, and very rarely drag out any other pans.
I tend not to make soup in mine, but I use them for almost everything else.
Searing scallops and steak.
Fried apples, apple crisp, dutch baby, clafoutis.
Any veggie, stirfried, roasted, "blackened"
Almost anything for breakfast (homefries, eggs, BACON, sausage, pancakes, migas, cinnamon rolls, ...)
Potatoes Anna -- so simple, so pretty
Various breads, especially cornbread
Shakshuka (tomatoes are OK, in my experience, as long as you don't leave them in all day)
Pork chops!
re: DebinIndiana
I made the absolute best apple pie filling in my CI skillet recently, but wholely by mistake: had roasted a ton of red peppers in it the day before (for the Rubio's hot sauce recipe online here at CH somewhere)--washed the pan well, but enough of the heat carried over the next day into the apple, butter & sugar mixture to make a *highly* spiced apple pie. Delicious, but doubt I could ever duplicate it.
re: pine time
Yum -- maybe throw a slice of pepper into the apples while sauteing, then remove?
re: DebinIndiana
Worth a try! Thanks.
Everything that cooks best in a skillet or frying pan and doesn't contain reactive ingredients. I use bare cast iron for most of my cooking. I do have other pans, enameled cast iron, clad stainless, clay pots ect for reactive things.
It's the only thing I cook breakfast foods in like eggs, omelets, bacon ect.
Fried breakfast potatoes - basically agree it's good for anything breakfast. I made a great fritata in it as well.
We pulled off a deep dish pizza in our larger skillet and loved it.
Grilled cheese, actually any grilled sandwich
Peach Cobbler, Pineapple upside down cake, Apple Crisp, "Piezookie" which is a big cookie and then ice cream served on top.
Beer Brats in sauerkraut.
Fajitas, Heuvos Rancheros,
re: Sandwich_Sister
Yes, when I don't feel like firing up the wood oven outside for pizza I'll use cast iron in the house, it's a decent substitute even though my home oven gets no where near as hot as the one outside.
I cooked kielbasa in mine tonight. I have three of them.
To clean them I do it while they are hot. Pour off excess grease straight down the kitchen sink drain hole without letting the grease hit anything else. Then wad up a few newspapers and rub clean until cast iron is dry of any water and grease. No water is used to clean it.
I theorize that this rubbing clean w newspapers helps season it some more. I only use the ones with black ink. No color sections used.
If some burned item is stuck to it I dislodge it with a plastic or metal spatula. You can use metal, just don't dig in hard. And for really removing rust on an old neglected one. Go at it with a cut off wheel on a circular saw. This grinds it out the best. The spots that cannot be reached you use a smaller cut off wheel that goes onto an electric drill. Put your guy to work on this.

Con le sue strisce da corsa e la scala corta (30"), il nuovo Pawn Shop Mustang Bass ricorda realmente il Mustang Bass "competition" originale dei primi anni '70. Tuttavia, questa volta si differenzia per un suono del basso eccezionale di un solo pickup humbucker (l'originale aveva un pickup a bobina singola) e per varie opzioni di finitura Fender classica.
Pawn Shop Mustang Bass è dotato anche di un corpo in ontano, manico in acero con profilo a "C", tastiera in palissandro con raggio di curvatura 9,5", con 19 tasti medium jumbo, battipenna a quattro strati in madreperla, due manopole di controllo (volume, tono) Jazz Bass e un ponte string-through-body con quattro sellette regolabili. Disponibile in tre colori: Sunburst, Candy Apple Red con striscia e Olympic White con striscia.

Thank the lord this bass came out! I have the Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass as well and it made me realize that the mustangs are not only my favorite guitar but my favorite bass! I've been looking for years for a bass that's short scale with a big rip your face off bottom end, and trust me I've just found the bass of my dreams. Between the paint and finishes and hardware and sound, this thing is heavy duty and high quality the absolute most beautiful looking bass I've ever owned. The humbucker is soo loud and bassy that you have to turn down your amp no joke! The tone I've always searched for a massive bottom end and not really much treble. That's exactly what the mustang sounds like. I run this through a fender rumble 350 and you better look the hell out because this setup will steamroll right over you. I'm just another proud owner of a fender product and I don't dare to step away from them.

I was scrolling through the Fender website and came across this beauty. I knew I wanted the white with the blue racing strip. I ordered it through my local music store. As soon as I saw it I was blown away by its stunning classic looks. So vintage, so cool! This bass is an absolute Ten! In every way. It's beautiful. the quality of build is flawless. The playabilty is lightning fast. The tone is thick and growly. This bass is Beauty and the Beast! I highly recommend this bass. It delivers in every way! Thank you Fender!

In the late seventies, I owned an original Mustang bass, which I used for my studies at the Royal Conservatory in the Netherlands. When I moved on in life, with other basses, I gave this one to my younger brother, and regretted it ever since. Now, with this new Pawn Shop series, I couldn't resist the temptation and added the Candy Apple Red to my collection. Not only do I find the excellent quality I remember, but the Humbucker makes a big difference. Playability is still great, thanks to the balanced configuration. The tone controls allows a sufficient scale of sounds for my purpose. This time, there is no way I am going to let this baby go!
tradufrance owns this item
I had been looking for a Mustang for quite some time, and the choice between new ( the only new mustang bass being white) and vintage was a saddening set of choices. I followed this release with great hope and can say it fulfilled my dream and then some. First things first, this bass is LOUD!! I like it better than any P bass I've owned or played and find it a serious alternative to my Rick. It took me a while to get used to the 30 inch scale but it has been worth it. I'd also like to say that contrary to the connotations a short scale carries, I am 6'3, have huge hands, and have played bass for over 10 years. This bass is fantastic for the sound I aim for. In a guitar, bass, drum trio the Mustang fills out the sound with a gorgeous mid range growl.

I read this book on my lunch hour over and over.
The prose is very passive, especially in the early sections (an author should NOT use words like "generally" and "apparently" when describing things).
The plot is simple, comical, fastmoving and provides an excellent framework for Fitzhugh's cast of zany characters, and his witty writing style.
The author has the quickest sense of humor I've read in a long time. The plot is quirky and complicated but stays funny. Had to laugh out loud many times.Published 1 month ago by Jaki

Marc James & The Case Of The Missing Steak Sandwich

Today's lesson learned on The Drive: never steal Marc James' steak sandwich from Sullivan's. Every Thursday, Sullivan's Steakhouse provides lunch for The Drive team and each week Marc James enjoys his favorite steak sandwich from the restaurant. Well this week, Jay Weezie didn't get the memo. And while he ate away at the coveted food, Marc was oblivious to the crime being committed.
We caught Marc as he walked into the station today and Jay Weezie stopped him mid-walk to his office to break the news. Let's just say, things are going to get awkward on the show today.

I need to set u a mailing list. The typical kind. Two mails per month, with subsricbers entering their email form a web page or sending an email to an subscribe email address.
It is a comercial newsletter, so I don´t want any ads or anythings that points a reader from our site (e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com would link our list with egroup.com). I have an offer for 20$/month, but I would like to get a cheeper deal.
Any suggestion. I don´t want to spend my time on script configuration, I jsut want to get the servie and pay the fair price. I am just not sure what a fair price is?

Microsoft de-cloaks Windows 8 push-button lifesaver
Consensus Says They Don't
>Of course Windows allows separation of data and programs - how would roaming profiles work if not?
Search the web, the general consensus is that roaming profiles don't work any more.
I've been running roaming profiles since WinNT and with each version of Windows (2k, XP, Server 2003, etc) it becomes more and more of a struggle. Profiles are now so bloated I've heard of people in other shops talk about logins taking 25 minutes - over 1Gb LAN. I've personally seen an XP+2003 combination take 5 minutes to login and that's with less than 50M payload. Adobe Reader (circa 7,8, haven't used it since) installs its 100M setup file into a roaming profile folder and then attempts to infect any computer you log in to.
The registry is the number one place MS screwed the pooch with regard to backup/restore, its monolithic (or dualistic?, tri...) nature and its inability to fail gracefully doom most attempts to restore software - settings are spewed all across HKLM, HKCR and HKLU and some .ini and .dat files in 3-4 different profile folders, some roaming some not.
I've seen some well written apps that, when started, will inform the user that settings have been lost and offer to recreate them. Far too many follow the MS Office example: "Tahoma Font not found, try reinstalling the application!"

You voice a popular opinion from people who have fast, cheap broadband connections. Let me just say that not everyone has the same circumstances as you. Many people are unable to get decent broadband and most people are unable to get decent broadband at a reasonable price. I don't consider $100 to $130 for combined cable/internet/phone to be at all reasonable. In many suburban to semi-rural areas of the US that's the best you can do - and I'm not talking about the truly rural areas - there your choice is dial-up or satellite.
Windows 8 aims to make security updates less painful
It Absolutely Could
There have been numerous times when I was following MS instructions for a particular task (eg relocate print spool folder) and their instructions include a reboot. Instead I just stop/start the related service (eg spooler) and everything goes fine.
They are just lazy and can't be bothered to test dependencies that way so they go with the nuclear option of always rebooting. It's just laziness and poor organization that led them to lose track of dependencies. 95% of the reboots can be handled by starting and stopping services and/or processes. A lot of other "required" reboots that involve reloading modified registry settings in HKCU can be done just by killing the shell and your running applications survive, you don't even have to log out. But MS will never tell you that.
Amazon's Kindle Fire burns iPad momentum
Reality Check
>>The only tablet experiences folks had (aside from mini-tablet-ish smartphones, of course) were with those hyper-lame – or, to be kinder, hyper-specialized – Windows tablets from days gone by.
Well yea, if by "days gone by" you mean now and by "hyper-specialized" you mean "general purpose Windows machines."
We're running Panasonic Toughbook tablets and they still rock, way more useful than any iCrap or Netbook out there. The only downside is their price but Toughbooks live up to their name.

HP storage hobbled by board's indecision
Only a Matter of Time
HP has been circling the drain for years. They used to make good quality hardware with fair to poor drivers and software. I saw the decline begin in the 90s when they offshored their calculator division to Singapore, since then they've become an American company in name only. Now they want to abandon the thing they were good at to follow the herd to the "easy money" in services. It used to make me sad but since their last 2-3 generations of printers have been complete crap I say full speed ahead with the collapse.
Newzbin2 pirates prepare to sink BT web block
Logic Vs. Ego
>Are Newzbin right to release methods of bypassing Cleanfeed? No, but BT's friggin counsel told the court that this would be the end result. Talk about making a ruling without any thought of the future.
For the judge to have made that distinction would be for him to admit that the courts are not all powerful, not something a judge is often willing to do.
Flattening Ethernet
Friends and Foes
All the talk of auto configuring, self healing fabric is great but the Internet can not be viewed as friendly territory where every other switch and router is trusted. Just think back to the Chinese traffic grab a few years ago and consider the implications of a few forged hop counts that can cause traffic to be routed from New York to Washington DC via Beijing or Tehran. That trust mistake was made 40 years ago with the initial design and should not be repeated.
Once you acknowledge the trust issue all the automated solutions collapse and the hierarchical arrangement makes sense - rings of trust are more accurately branches of trust and you stay as far from the root as possible. Fabric only works within limited areas of trust and the best way to interconnect these zones will still be hierarchical.
Educating Verity the OU way
Peripheral to the article but...
Advice to consider modem speed when designing web pages is hardly dated. There are quite a few sites today which probably look good over the designers 100Mb Ethernet but fail badly on a 1Mb cable or DSL line. And yes, there ARE still 4kbps dialup users even if you think they aren't your target market. Some rural US users have no choice - and when I say rural I'm not talking about Wyoming - I'm talking about outer suburbs of major cities where cable doesn't go and you're 3 miles from the phone office - too far for DSL.
Verity should certainly know the more things change the more they stay the same.

Flashy Intel flash specs leak
Impressive.... not
Tell that to all the dead 400,000 MTBF drives on my bench. None of them are anywhere close to 45 years old. You know how they come up with these numbers?
"Hey Joe, does 1 million hours sound impressive enough?"
"No, lets make it 2 million to be safe."
"What do we use to justify that?"
"Well, I ran it for a week straight in my mother's house without AC or power conditioning. That should be good enough."
The moral of the story is you can't guarantee the life of a device until the device has actually existed that long. Hard drives haven't existed for 50 years. I bet there isn't a single device out there that lasts its MTBF, even in the cleanest environment, much less a typical one.

Hackers pierce network with jerry-rigged mouse
Legacy Free == Insecurable
This just proves a theory off mine, the so called "legacy free" computers with no PS2 style mouse and keyboard connectors are a dumb idea. Not to say this exploit couldn't have happened over a PS2 connection (given the microcontroller aspect) but its certainly a lot easier via USB. I've steered away from a number of recent motherboards for their lack of PS2 ports.
2 basic security rules would have prevented this attack, always be suspicious of "free" gifts and never allow users access to USB ports. This reminds me of the viruses spread by free thumb drives given away at trade shows.
How to choose the right screen size
Next in the Series
I eagerly await a study of how 4:3, 16:9 and 2.35:1 aspects relate to how the human eye works. I'm convinced 4:3 is the best aspect for how our vision works and I despise looking at life thru a gun slit - or watching a 2.35 production. It sucks you can hardly buy 1600x1200 monitors anymore, the shortscreen crap has taken over.

Then I'd say its the fault of the manufacturers and resellers marketing this stuff to home users and small business. Your position is that these devices shouldn't be used without the oversight of a skilled $100K a year specialist, that sort of knocks the bottom out f the whole "internet telephony is cheaper" argument doesn't it?
I actually agree with you, these things are not for home users and small biz, despite the marketing lies.

Win7 machines harder hit by infection as VXers change tactics
I've Never Installed it Willingly
Ever since OpenOffice 1 it has always wanted Java installed and I refused despite warnings of decreased functionality. Over the years I think I encountered one peripheral thing that I couldn't do without it. Recently I watched as the 3.whatever OO install proceeded to shove Java down my throat. I would bet most people with Java never got it voluntarily but only as part of software bloat.
Outside OO I've hit one government website that used Java for an interactive map viewing tool, that is it.
Minimizing your exposure area applies to applications in addition to operating systems. Apps like OO need to stop installing the kitchen sink when all the average user will ever use is Writer and Calc.
A vendor just pointed me to their image conversion tool. I started installing it only to find it required .NET 2.0. That was the end of that because there is no reason to install .NET to do what any well written 2 meg utility can do.
These application frameworks were supposed to be the solution, instead they have become the problem. Always choose the smallest tool for the job.

MS now issuing security advisories about third-party Windows bugs
Do As I Say Not As I Do
Absolutely correct Tom. Some of the worst behaving apps I've seen come out of Redmond, they seem fundamentally incapable of following their own rules. How many times have you installed patches only to find a pile of crap left behind in the root directory? They seem to delight in abusing the power of the system account. They are utterly incapable of properly using a TEMP directory, even when one is provided for them. Once I had a foreign drive mounted on a Windows system for some testing and MS used IT as TEMP.
The one major app that I have to name and shame that is not Microsoft's is Quickbooks. There is no way that POS should get a Windows logo. Way too many versions have required all users to have local Admin rights.
Amazon jumps on time-limited sales

Talk is Cheap
I'm sure he would explain that MS is doing a lot. Trustworthy Computing, DRM and all the crap MS and Intel tried to do years ago that the public resoundingly rejected. And Win7 is the answer to all the problems if only those penny pinching users would upgrade their hardware and software.
Don't think that I'm defending MS, I think they have failed miserably and really don't have a clue how to proceed - but they can certainly produce a lot of evidence that they have thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at the problem. They are the proof that throwing money at a problem is not always a solution. From my perspective it looks like every person at MS (at least with any authority) is a moran because they always make the wrong choice. They always choose the complex solution over the simple one, they paper over bad construction rather than fixing the core problems and they consistently fail to follow their own software design standards. The biggest weakness of their OS is now its bloated size.
Amazon cloud sinks, smothers Web 2.0 darlings
Remember What a Cloud Is
A "cloud" is not a physical entity, its a graphical representation on a schematic that essentially means "not our responsibility." Apparently it's not Amazon's responsibility either. If your company trusts their core business to this model they deserve to be offline, permanently.
This is the equivalent of hosting your company web site on Geocities unless your hosting agreement provides guarantees for not just hosting costs but also lost revenue.
'Real' JavaScript benchmark topped by...Microsoft
Sounds Like Cheating to Me
Tuning software to a specific benchmark is like studying for a test you have access to - you only bother to learn what you know will be asked. The only valid benchmarking results from running against a benchmark the testees didn't have access to in advance.
Your goal is to have the benchmark results be scalable to the real world and if the testees are allowed to tune specifically to the benchmark this will not be the case unless the coders are volunteering to tune their code to each and every user's actual code also.

Server vendors and the dead hand of commoditisation
My PDP-11 is faster than your Superdome
"VMware is, after all, just a glorified way of multi-tasking apps in servers and, originally, PCs, that was necessary because Windows and Unix were so crap at the job."
Glad to finally see someone say that in print. Now can we take the next step and fix the failed piece of the stack, rather than put another layer on the stack? Virtualising OSes is an acknowledgment the OSes are failing to do what they promised in delivering a multiuser/multitasking environment . If you were swapping apps in and out rather than whole OSes the disk load would be that much smaller. This is yet another case of poorly implemented software driving the demand for faster hardware just to keep your head above water.

If You Think All That OOP is Bad....

A Crude Method Provides a Mixed Blessing
"Heap-exploitation mitigation made its Microsoft debut in Service Pack 2 of Windows XP, and has since been refined in later OSes. It works by detecting memory that's been corrupted by heap overflows, and then terminating the underlying process. The technology was a significant advance for Microsoft. Practically overnight, an entire class of vulnerabilities that once allowed attackers to take full control of the targeted operating system were wiped out."
I suspect this is why Explorer (not IE) has become such an unreliable piece of crap. Since every crappy app you install has some pointless shell extension it installs into Explorer I find Explorer getting terminated ridiculously often. I always bitched that it was so poorly written that it couldn't manage to write an error event identifying the culprit (and thus shaming the companies involved into cleaning up their shell extensions) but the problem is that Explorer isn't generating an exception on its own - its being whacked by this guard process.

Microsoft rallies IE6 death squads
One Problem With Your Scenario
Sorry, the OSs which are still running IE6 most likely are doing so because MS illegally and illogically tied the browser to the OS. I bet NT4 and Win2K where you are not allowed to install any never version that are responsible for a large percentage of the IE6 instances. NT4 never had a remote auto patching facility and 2K issues its last patch 6 months ago so I doubt MS has the ability to force feed a poison pill to very many culprits.
Frankly MS is now getting what they deserve - for not making IE7/IE8 available to Win2K users years ago, while Win2K was still supported. They tried to use the tie-together to force people to upgrade OS+Browser, instead many people chose to upgrade neither.
Another way they screwed theirselves was by not allowing 2 browser versions side by side. That would have allowed corporates to upgrade to IE8 for internet while using IE6 for legacy intranet stuff.

MTBF figures are a complete joke anyway. If any of them were close to realistic most of us would never see a hard drive fail.

ROM Boot could work... If the software development model wasn't based on going to market with alpha code then releasing a never ending series of patches to almost get it up to release level just in time for it to be end of lifed in favor of the shiny new alpha release.
In some ways I think the internet has destroyed software quality because it made it too easy for developers to release known buggy or nonfunctional code. How many times have you purchased software, delivered on a CD and had it fail to install, only to be directed to download something different? One of Quickbooks recent releases was like this - they were shipping CDs that didn't work then forcing people to make 600M downloads.
Feds may tighten privacy protections
More worthless, toothless regulation
"and the creation of a new post to make sure they are enforced."
This guarantees the regulations will be toothless then. They need to be laws not regulations, with the full weight of huge fines and criminal penalties or they will be a joke. There is already an infrastructure to ensure laws are enforced. Personally I think an important provision is not to preempt citizens from the right to sue. That way when (not if) the government fails to enforce the laws those affected to file suit in conjunction with the EFF or other parties.
I would bet that the regulations will be written in such a way that this is prevented though, so when a Republican administration declines to enforce the law in all but the most egregious cases consumers will have no recourse. That's the typical government path - create regulations and an entire infrastructure to administer them, then do little more than investigate and cajole the violators. How about a minimum fine of $100 per person/record for violations, "accidental" or not. One million customers 'accidentally' violated? That would be a significant deterrent.

text: Zombie hunters looking snazzy. View full-size image < previous next > Is this photo a winner? "The photo was our biggest group photo we've taken as a club at SUNY Oneonta. We are a fairly new club with a gigantic fan base and we just love hanging out and defending against zombie invasions. CustomInk gave us a great deal on our wonderful shirts and everyone was thoroughly pleased with them so much so that we'll probably be doing another order soon for all the people that couldn't get them the first time." - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=40573116484&ref=ts - ZombieDefenseCorps (Nov 05, 2009) Share this photo on: Twitter Facebook Pinterest Similar Photos: hanes tagless | college clubs and groups | suny oneonta | zombie Feeling inspired?
