Hello my Foodie Friends!
I hope everyone enjoyed the Fourth of July festivities. For many, the celebration will continue through this weekend. This past week is one of the biggest holidays in the U.S. calendar. The Fourth of July marks the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which was signed in 1776. The Thirteen Colonies of America declared themselves states and no longer part of the British Empire. The Revolutionary War continued for awhile after though. As a nation and as individuals, we have been humbled…we have been brought to our knees in grief and we have marveled at the right of individual liberty, to be free, and to be independent. The Fourth of July is a sensory holiday: a day that evokes images of red, white, and blue; conjures the smell of cookouts; awakens our inner USA-chanting patriot; and reminds us of our freedom.
Among our many products that are Made in America is Lodge Cast Iron Cookware. This season, Lodge has created a “Made in America Series” with a skillet that has the American Flag on the back side of the pan. This 10.25 Inch Skillet is the first in Lodge’s annual Made in America Series, celebrating the proud tradition of American manufacturing Lodge has been a part of for over 120 years. Hailed as an essential kitchen tool, the Lodge 10.25 inch cast iron skillet is crafted to cook memorable meals for generations. The Made in America Series cookware is made in the USA out of the highest quality cast iron. Lodge is seasoned cast iron cookware. A good seasoning makes all the difference. Lodge provides pre-seasoned cookware with no synthetic chemicals, just soy-based vegetable oil. The more you use your cast iron, the better the seasoning becomes. Lodge is MADE IN THE U.S.A. and has been making cast iron cookware in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896. With over 120 years of experience, their cast iron is known for its high quality design, lifetime durability, and cooking versatility and is
FAMILY-OWNED. Lodge is more than just a business; it’s a family. The Lodge family founded the company in 1896, and they still own it today. From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America.
Stop by Compliments to the Chef located at 33 Railroad Place in Saratoga Springs, for the Made in America Series from Lodge. Cast Iron is a wonderful way to cook and is great for cooking outdoors as well. Remember my Foodie Friends, as we continue to celebrate our Independence and honor those who have served our country, “Life Happens in the Kitchen.” Celebrate, reflect, and listen to the stories from generations beyond us. We have so much to be thankful for.
Take Care,
John & Paula
