Happy New Year!
Let me join the wish, Cindy, that we will all have a stellar year.
I haven't cooked with stainless. But many of my pots and pans are not nonstick. I cook with calphalon cookware. My stove is electric. It will be here by the 7th, hopefully sooner.
Well, I had quite a kayaking adventure. It really brought home to me how I have let myself get out of shape too. When we headed out there was a light wind, we had checked the weather in advance with winds 5 to 10 mph predicted which is fine. Well, that was wrong. We got caught out in gale force winds and found out when we got home that lake wind advisories were out. We got into a very scary situation and there was nothing to do but put every bit of our cunning, experience, and strength into getting back to shore. We were out there wallowing in waves that were white capping. I couldn't even watch my friend as watching her boat tossing in the waves just made me kind of sick. Fortunately we prevailed - by sheer will I believe. It was not the smartest thing we ever did before. I was so much less confident than when I was weight training. I didn't have the energy reserves or the balance that I believe I had 6 months ago. Just another reminder of the importance of being fit - it can save your life!
Sirak - you've been awfully quiet. What's up with you? Hope you can check in soon.
