My spice cabinet is out of control! What started as a corner of a cupboard has grown to ridiculous proportions, with spices taking over two shelves and overflowing onto the counter.

Michael Ruhlman made a post about cast iron pans today, and after reading it, I feel like I should extol the virtues of my own heavy black workhorse. My cast iron pan has been abused (by me, in my less-savvy days) and then reincarnated for a second chance at life. Over the past seven years [...]
