Hi, My name is Dan, I stumbled upon this site yesterday and read a few of the threads and liked what I saw so here I am. I eat alot of spicy foods and grow my own hot peppers. I just read the cast iron thread and that really caught my eye because I collect and restore cast iron cookware. I own approximately 200 pieces and cook pretty much everything in cast iron. I work highway construction in the summer and am laid off in the winter. My wife and I plant a pretty big garden and can and freeze many veggies and fruits. We also can venison and make sausauge. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning from you. Dan
