I'm coming to this a little late, but I'll second the never wash your cast iron skillet with soap. Ours was handed down from her mom, and as far as I know it's never seen dish soap! What I do,...

I got into homebrewing about 12 years ago, with the malt extract kits, moved into all-grain brewing a couple years after that. It's a great hobby. I haven't done that much in the last couple of...

We've been struggling with it also. We bought just 36 raw acres first and called it "the land." When we got the 25 acres adjoining, with house and barn, we started calling it "the farm," but we're...
