    I have to pick up some bacon soon... My most recent thing was I tossed all my teflon and bought a cast iron skillet, cast iron griddle, and cast iron dutch oven. Love them! This sounds like another great use for them

    Dough - buy it or make it?

    I'm curious what everyone does as far as dough, does everyone buy it at the store or make it from flour yeast, etc? I'm talking dough for pizza, bread, whatever :) Thanks, Matt

    Best way to become a better cook

    I have a strong interest in cooking, and the things I know how to cook I am decent at. I am a big fan of easy to prepare meals that take around a half hour.

    Eating raw/uncooked grains

    I think I phrased that wrong, I meant to ask what is the logic behind eating raw foods. Makes sense to me for veggies but for grains I do not understand. Thanks!
