That hot pan and grease will burn your fingers while dipping them biscuits in the grease if you don't watch out, just did that yesterday morning, my finger will survive but it wakes you up if you are still asleep. Watching mama dip them biscuits in the grease at the bottom of the tilted pan and listen to them sizzle when she flopped them over into place, some 60 or 70 years ago, was a learning experience for me and now a widdered old man can cook biscuits like my mama used to do. That old black pan has been replaced with a stainless steel pan that stays shiney bright if you scrub it with some bon-ami or something when you wash it, the old wood stove that I carried wood for and kept the box full, is now gone, but thinking about it brings back good memories. Wonder why we think about these things when we get old, maybe its because those were things we want to enjoy again. It's a shame our kids didn't experience those good times.
