Secrets come between us,Ripping at the seams.The tapestry was wovenFrom the fibers of a dream.The colors bleed and fadePerhaps never to be vivid againHoles eaten by mothsJust take away stains.The remnants of a wishCome true, in different lightSent out to the heavensSttched and saved, this time.We break out of formationFor better, worse and sewThe shapes of constellations,Patch in the stars we know.The cloth has come unraveled.The tapestry is worn.The characters dipictedAre hideously deformed.Were I to weave another,It would not replace The beauty of the momentThat the pattern first was traced.I can't find the darning needle,My yarn is tanlgled and in knots;I was going to try to mend it,Fix the troublesome spots.I hold the threadbare tattered scrapsOf what just might have been;This tapestry was woven From the fabric of a dream.
Clean with a brillo washing pad to remove rust, then place on stove or in oven to heat it up and then while hot a coating of Crisco to it.This will prevent future rusting.

When a cast iron skillet is washed, but not properly dried and oiled, it's common for them to rust a littleYou can scrub the rust off with an SOS pad, then dry it in the oven to make sure it's very dry, then rub it with olive oil both inside and outBefore you use it again make sure to wipe off all of the oil from the outside of the skilletThat should make it good as new.
You need to remove all the rustUse a coarse steel wool and good dish washing liquidAfter you have scrubbed all the rust off you will need to season the pan so you can use it to cook withTo do this get some good virgin olive oil or I like to use the fat left over from cooked bacon(imparts a good flavor for the type of dishes I like to make) Coat the pan with a good layer of the oil or fat and bake it in the oven at about 325 degrees for 15 minutes or so( long enough to heat the pan through ) Take it out of the oven and coat it with another layer of oil or fat(use plenty and be careful not to burn yourself) Put the pan back in the oven for another 10 minutes or soAllow the pan to cool, wipe off any excess oil, and it's ready to store until you need it againWhen you cook the first few times with a newly seasoned pan it is best to cook something oily or fattyThis helps to season the pan further if you want to use it for bakingBest wishes.
