Yesterday was fun. I invited four other cast iron cooks to join me in the first ever DeShawn DOG. It will happen again. I'm keeping them small and low-key for now. Maybe I'll get brave enough to invite more participants in the future. Two of the cooks couldn't come, so we ended up with three of us who cooked five dishes, and all of them turned out very well.

Additionally, I re-seasoned my 12-inch deep dutch oven, which now has a deep black patina that is better than the one it had when I pulled it out of the box. l love seasoning cast iron on my grill outdoors. It works great and it doesn't smell up the whole house!
