Ha, first I have to clean the rust off and reseason it. My wife is going to kill me, but I am used to that after 49 years.
Then I am going to have to learn to cook waffles.
We have a family campout reunion in Michigan every year that my son has organized. Until this year we have taken my motorhome but no more will I drive that thing 600 miles for a weekend campout. 32 feet and a 454 engine just doesn't cut it with gas prices as they are. This year we took a 2 person tent and although 30 years ago, that was how we camped, today we are too old to sleep on the ground. So, I have decided to build a Cabin Car.
And now you people have got me looking at all my mother's CI skillets up in my garage upstairs.
My son has a very large CI Pot that he boils water using a tripod over a wood fire. This thing is about 15 or 18 inches in dia and it works out well for him. Next year, I want to take that waffle iron and cook breakfast for them one morning. That will send everyone into shock and cardiac arrest because Dad learned to stay out of the kitchen early in our marriage because I didin't do things the way my wife did.
Of course, I am going to have to shock my wife sooner also, because I definitely will need some practice.
