May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you

Bob Dylan, “Forever Young”

It’s Master’s Week y’all. Azaleas are blooming, cell phones are banned, and pimento cheese sandwhiches are in high demand. Good luck not spending your vacation budget at the gift shop on the way out the door. So put out the $150 garden gnomes, and find some time to sit back and enjoy the views from Augusta National Golf Club this weekend.

To celebrate Master’s week, let’s put a twist on an old classic. Please enjoy these Pimento Cheese Cheesesteaks this weekend, AKA the Way, Way South of Philly Special. Pour out a green cup for the adults, white cup for the kiddos.

Let’s get supper on the table.

Commandment #2 – Don’t put it in the dishwasher.

Science class time, grab your periodic table. You know what happens when you combine Iron (Fe) with a little bit of crystal clear H2O? You let loose the gates for internal electrons to be liberated and combine with other materials. And look, I’m a fan of all things liberty, but in this case electron freedom ultimately makes some Fe2O3 AKA iron oxide AKA rust.

Cast iron cookware should be bone dry at the end of each night to prevent this chemical phenomenon, so let’s avoid the dishwasher. The best way to prevent rust is simple. Cook regularly, make great meals, rinse, and wipe it dry afterwards. After all, chemistry is best left in the lab.

Watch some golf this weekend. Y’all be good. – Hendo
