or anyone else
Back again,
I have a question, what do you think the best cookware is? or at least something good. I should get some for the guy that’s coming to cook for me. I was thinking of “all clad” is that stuff any good?

Your son sounds like a gourmet cook compared to me. If you asked me to make you a smoked old fashion I’d probably stick it in an old fashion glass and stick it in the oven until it smoked. Sorry about the orange zest but I don’t have the zest to zest an orange, whatever that is. A normal dinner at last and it sounds good too. Wish I was there to enjoy the other half. Not half of the old fashion though. I’ll let you savor all of that.
What could possibly be more normal than candy, ask any kid. I think everybody if they answered honestly will say that candy was as normal as it gets or at least one of the five best food groups, Candy, cookies, cakes, pies & pastries. That has to be as normal as normal can be.
I will enjoy time with my cooking friend that’s for sure as long as it’s not anywhere near the kitchen. Well I guess I better go get some cashew chicken that I slaved over last night, what a horrible awful experience that was. First time I used my new stove. Talk about a stupid thing to buy and a total waste of money. First time I used the stove in at least two months and I hope it at least twice that long before I use it again. I planned on just having some nuts for dinner and I had some but I was still hungry so foolishly I went in and fixed something. Next time I’ll go to bed hungry. I need to have my head examined or move in with you and then you would need your head examined.

Oh use the dang stove for crying out loud!. We actually have a small smoker for the bourbon but you can put some small food in there like salmon
He loves his smoker..the taste is pretty neat and you get a slight smoky aroma

Use the new stove or your candy will disappear. And never go to bed hungry or angry.

The main reason I don’t use the stove is because it’s dangerous for people with epilepsy. My mom was washing the dishes one day and she left to go do something else and I stayed there and had a seizure and nearly drowned. The had the stove but fortunately I didn’t get near it. They are dangerous for pyrite Epilepsy. I almost always use the microwave mainly for safety reasons. I had some smoked salmon and turkey when I was in Canada one Thanksgiving and smoked turkey another Thanksgivingwere everything was very good. Believe it or not I actually used to fix a Thanksgiving dinner but now I’ll just go get some unprocessed unsalted turkey slices and have a sandwich with hot pickles sauerkraut and cheese on it.

Leonard....all clad is very expensive and you don't cook that much anyway. Just get some stainless steel or aluminum nonstick cookware
CAPHALON is decent. I'm assuming you will be ordering this online. I like to feel the weight of pots and pans and skillets and I often buy them at Marshalls or HomeGoods. You don't need to pay an arm and a leg for this stuff unless you're a gourmet cook and we all know you are not.
Skillets should be non stick. But you can get pots that are stainless steel or aluminum and good quality and they don't have to be non stick. Get at least 3 sizes of skillets...small, medium, large. Same with pots with lids. You may need or have a larger pot for pasta and at least one heavy duty pan for roasts which you may have. I dont like ceramic myself.
No need to buy all clad or professional equipment unless he is moving in lol.
Get a good knife if you dont have one.

These are the two best pans I have big pot and a large skillet with those little handles on the sides. Kind of deep they are made by Calphalon. Are those two good? It’s not for me but the guy who is coming, he enjoys cooking, the dang fool.
