Cast Iron Skillets Part II

In one of my rants I spoke of my cast iron skillet envy of a good friend of mine. I hoped that before leaving for Indiana said friend would read my blog, discover my envy, and leave his cast iron skillet (and any other camp gear) with me here in AZ. This did not work and even worse I helped this friend drive his cast iron cookware to his new home in Indiana.

Jennifer, Maria's cousin, without having ever read the above mentioned blog post went to Wal-Mart in search of the perfect gift for a perfect cousin-in-law. She made her way to the camping section knowing that I liked to camp and debated between cookware and a cook stove (both would have been great!). She grabbed the skillet/dutch oven, wrapped it up, and gave it to me and said it was a flat of black olives (I hate black olives!). I almost did not even want to open the gift and when I did I could not have been happier (except had she bought the stove too!).

Thanks JenJen!
