Their surface was smooth as silk. I asked my mother where she got them and she recalled Montgomery Ward. Mine are from Lodge and the seasoning gets pitted, but they do work like a charm.

Nothing. There MAY have been numbers stamped on the bottom. I can't recall. If I didn't have my own set I would have taken them after my parents passed. They went to one of my grabby sisters.

Oh, I wish that I could find that particular meme! Instead, here is an article which spotlights the shared norm of finding sewing supplies in the iconic blue container.

It is one of those experiences that people can bond over in countless countries. Sort of like being able to give a simple answer like, " a sunny day", or "the laughter of children" or even, "my first cup of coffee in the morning" when someone asks you, "What makes you smile?"

J.D. Vance, however, takes the question as a personal attack. I could understand it if he were the lonely widower from Up. But, damn, J.D., you're a freaken' politician! Try harder! Even Bernie Sanders know how to weave a little levity into his general mien of curmudgeon-ness. Any when Bernie does get riled up, it's over important things, such as how economic policies affect people's lives.

(Also, future historians will discover that the first person to store sewing supplies in Royal Dansk cookie tins was Bernie Sanders' mother. )

I'm not convinced there are cookies inside. I don't remember ever eating those cookies but we had the tins somehow, filled with sewing supplies and other small items. And so did everyone else's mom. It's good to reuse things instead of tossing in garbage.

. . . of how or when the cookies get eaten. But the tins serve humankind proudly.

Wait! I just thought of another Vance/Walz comparison!

Vance is the cookies; Walz is the tin.

My days of shaking my raw chicken in a bag of flour seasoned with pepper and salt and frying said chicken in Crisco were over; I had to give it up when I moved North. I also had to give up eating boiled okra (slime and all) as it nauseated my husband. And no to black eyed peas on New Years day for good luck.

You just can't put a properly seasoned cast iron skillet in a dishwasher, it defeats the whole purpose of seasoning it in the first place!

They tell me fried okra is delicious, I never tried to find out after my MIL DESCRIBED IT.

In Southern Ohio I ate mangoes until I went to Tennessee, found out they were sweet. Now I eat green peppers.

(for people not raised by Southerners, this is a sin. You cook with bacon grease. Use it to season pinto beans, and green beans, make corn bread with it, and so on. As well as cooking your eggs in it.)

Seems to both be tougher than veggie shortening or canola type oil and it cooks better with little or no sticking.

And yes, eggs, beans, cornbread, green beans, etc all get a little help from bacon drippings. I even make gravy with it.
