It's a conspiracy that women don't knit and sew anymore.

Well at one time it was practically a necessity to know how to sew. But our modern day culture has become so consumer/manufacture based, that the 'need' for it just isn't there anymore.

Quoting: BOWMAN That's one of the problems though. I suppose the corporations love us buying stuff we'll just dispose of, instead of fix and keep. That's why they are making things more flimsy these days. i was just saying this about cast iron pots...less people have them b/c it teaches you to take care of something that will last longer than your life and of course we would rather have something coated in teflon poison instead....once more and i really hope someone watches this...consuming kids the commercialization of childhood [ link to www.youtube.com] ....and also the story of stuff [ link to www.youtube.com] Oh! I LOVE cast iron! I have a collection you'd be quite envious of - I even have cast iron cassarole pans and my oldest frying pan is from the 1800s. Take care of them and they become family heirlooms. :) I saw Tractor Supply had some cast iron cookware the other day but didn't have time to investigate to see if they were decent quality. I've been thinking about purchasing a few pieces (the only one I have is an ebelskiver pan). Mom used to use hers all the time.
