Cooking in an iron pot

[Guest guest]

Dear Eva,

I had my laugh of the day when I read your post about using an iron pot to

cook in. I had heard that when I was much younger that cooking in an iron pot

would give you all the iron you needed, but completely forgotten about it. When

I was expecting my first child, I told the doctor I didn't eat spinach and he

said, " Don't worry about it, there's not much more iron in spinach than on a

rusty nail. " I never even tried to eat it again. I figured that doctors knew

all there was to know about health matters. How wrong I was, they were lacking

in the area of nutrition. The thing that made me laugh, though was when I was

quite young, my mother was in the hospital and my dad was not one to piddle in

the kitchen, so I decided to make a red gravy with steak. When it was done, it

had turned black. My dad didn't want me to feel bad, so he said it was fine and

ate it, but I couldn't bring myself to eat anything black. LOL. I have a whole

collection of those old pots but I don't use them because they are too heavy for

me to lift. Nothing better to fry chicken or fish in. Oh, I forgot, I don't

eat chicken, either.

Blessings,
