☆ADMIN☆ After leaving ohio the Meet the Admin Bus headed south.. Into the great of Tennessee! ! NOW We Are talking Southern folks..Mountain Folks!.. My kind of kind of people! Its true that southern folks have the greatest hospitality of anywhere else in the country. .its also true that they can be a tad suspect of outsiders..especially ones still with Northern dust on the bus.. But I had plans to meet one of the newest members to the crew Rob Stout, and wasnt going to be swayed. After meeting Rob at a undisclosed location, and the normal chit chat about, the Weather, Guns and sweet tea ended... and we got down to the business at hand... getting to know this other dark Figure of Black Iron Cooking.. Thanks for meeting with me Rob. So as one of the newer members to the admin staff.. was it what you expected it to be?. ROB: Yes, I think it was. I knew because of the size of the group, there would be the ups and downs of having that many people together. The ups have outweighed the bad, though, and Im honored to be part of it. So how long have you been using cast iron cookware? ROB: I stumbled on my first pan in 2003, I believe. Used it off and on, but dove in full over a year in my disdain of teflon. I wont go on and on. but I have a disdain for ridiculous chemicals in relation to the food subject. Cookware, or otherwise. When home alone and singing in the shower, what song are ya singing? ROB: Oh, thats easy. Rihanna, The Monster, of course. ;) Judging from your profile pic you seem like the rough and rugged outdoors type.. you cook alot of wild game/fish? ROB : Yes, Im an avid fisherman and known to fry up a trout now and again. Im mainly a predator hunter and those are not usually table fare. If I ever happen to smoke a Bear though, you can be sure it will see some cast iron. So what is the one piece of cast Iron you wish you had gotten for Christmas? .......... ROB: A Finex #12 with lid (me too Rob..Me too) So whats it like working with Greg... Is he as awesome as everyone thinks? ROB: Greg who?? Just kidding. Yes, Greg is one of the good ones. Regardless of what the others say..... :D ( AGAIN WITH THE DRUNK ADMINS...I see a trend with this job) So...are you crisco or Lard? ROB: I use crisco. Much easier to obtain So what IS the deal behind the panty hose story oscar started?. ROB: We all wear them, so fess up. You all know as well as I, it is protocol here. ( at this point I would like to mention this rather large man is wearing at least 1 gun I can see..) Thats right..real men wear pantyhose under the hunting clothing to stay warm If you had one piece of advice to a new Cast Iron collector/user.. what would it be? ROB: Get a lye tank or etank. Youre going to need it. What is the Prize of your collection? ROB: So far it would be that enameled Favorite #8 dutch oven I stumbled on. Seems they are not too common. And much like a scene with brando in Apocalypse now Rob slipped off into the darkness... I still dont know alot about him... but l know he means what he says, and he says what he means...and he seemed to be a nice guy that ya dont push around. .. I can respect that... So... back into the bus.. and back on the road.
