So if you&#8217;re a faithful reader, you know that even though I grew up in the Northeast and could practically play out in the snow in bare feet, I&#8217;ve now lived in the South too long. With the freakish cold weather we&#8217;ve been having down here, I&#8217;m miserable. COLD. Even the ends of my hair feel the cold. I don&#8217;t know how I did it all those years.
But happy, happy days arrived last week: Warmth! 60 degree temps for a couple days in a row. And this week&#8217;s forecast: Not freezing cold. Yippee! One problem, though, is that my camping lust went through the roof. Problem solved&#8230;we had a backyard campfire.
My camping cookware has been sitting in the laundry room, teasing me. And I noticed my Dutch oven, even after I dutifully oiled it after last use, was kind of sticky. So the campfire gave me an opportunity to re-season ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so with the heat index reaching 107 today, I wimped out and didn&#8217;t light up a fire for the pie iron test. However, like a good inhabitant of the 21st century, I did the next best thing &#8212; Googled it.
If you had to guess, how would you rank these from hottest on down: gas grill, campfire, charcoal grill?
Put your pencils down. Hottest is the campfire. Then charcoal, then gas grill. So, while we were desperately trying to toast our sammies over the gas grill, we were really out of luck from the get-go. And what&#8217;s more &#8212; and you probably already know this &#8212; different colored flames are hotter than others. So if you&#8217;re sticking your pie iron on the red-hot flames, you&#8217;ll actually get a lower temp than if you stuck it in the white-hot flames. Which would probably burn the tarnation out of your sammy anyway, so ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s me. I&#8217;m one hot momma &#8212; because not only is it 98 degrees outside, but the weather people tell me with the heat index it could hit around 107. Ugh. Hot. Hot. Hot.
Last night, I was trying to use my new birthday present: a pie iron. (For the uninitiated, a pie iron is two small squares of cast iron joined with a hinge that allows you to make toasted sandwiches &#8212; or dozens of other toasted yummies &#8212; over a campfire.) The first pre-season football game was on (go, Bills) and I thought, &#8220;What would taste better right now than a pudgie pie?&#8221; The answer was, &#8220;Nothing.&#8221;
I didn&#8217;t have the ambition to actually make a campfire, though, so I lit the grill. How much different could it be from a campfire? Well&#8230;turns out, plenty different. I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s because the heat of the grill was too low/too far away? ...]]></description>
