Do you hide your cameras from your wife?

Oh to be with a fair lady who only hurts things instead of people. Bliss... shear bliss.:wub:

You should have thrown it back... everyone knows that frying pans shouldn't be washed in an automatic dishwasher!

I think that among the newer and more ignorant tribes, a device for frying things called a "non-stick pan" is in use. I understand that it is traditional to wash these with the rest of the eating tools and implements in an automatic machine.
Enlightened folks use a cast-iron frying appliance, which, when properly used, requires no washing and indeed will be damaged by the application of soap or detergent.
 
You could do both, you know! Women around here LOOOOOVE a good artistic man. Fayette county is flush with good ole Southern Belles who appreciate art. And we are the home of the chicken ranch, too. Just puttin' it out there! :lol
 
Katie... yer killin' me. LOL!!! Dang it... I love the smell of fixer and perfume.
 

Actually true. Cast iron shouldn't ever have soap applied. Wipe with some oil and re-use! It's almost all we use (that and surgical stainless steel, but that sticks pretty bad when a "non-stick" type pan is needed). Dishwashers are for forks and wine glasses. Right?
 
The thinner, cheaper non-stick pans tend to mould themselves better to the shape of your head, thank heavens. Now I'm safe, I use a cast iron pan.
 

I have an iron skillet which was a gift 20~ years ago. Except for the initial, pre seasoning scrubbing, it's never had soap or detergent on it.
 
So the moral of the story is; "If you sometimes piss-off your wife then only buy cheap skillets and pans"? Maybe that should transpose to cheap plastic flatware and paper plates too. Dang... makes me want to convert the kitchen to a darkroom and eat out all the time!!

No, the moral of the story is if she uses teflon pans she's not wife material.

And BTW iron skillets can be had for next to nothing at lawn sales. Run them through a self-cleaning oven to get rid of the black crud and reseason with beef or pork fat.

Thank you very much for not including "Knives". If I ever found one of my knives in the dishwasher...
 
Now, I must add, the magna-lite aluminum roasters are the only way to go when baking any kind of proper meal. They are the best for gumbo! Those should be allowed!!

Now I must go, have good southern womanly duties to attend to: pick up the children from catholic school, check out the recliner sale (for the hubby), and bake about 2 dozen spice cakes for all the teachers. Bless my heart!
 
Not to get too personal, but do you have a sister? My current wife only does 2/3 of what you do.
 

Does your car have a clutch?

Not really. They fear them. And they fear me too I think. But sometimes they need to cut things. Unfortunately ALL of the kitchen gear is "mine".
 
I'm currently carrying a deringer snake charmer. It's like a shotgun, but the size of a pistol. Does that count?

I forgot to add to my list: finish up in the darkroom and some work in my woodworking shop.

I do have a sister, but she is batshit crazy. And married. Go figure...
